Pro/con of using iPad vs PC?

What are the known differences of using an iPad vs PC?
I read on Zwift Insider a reference to being able to play different music at start up when using a PC. But didn’t see any such option while using iPad. That made me curious; what features and functions are available while using PC that are not available while using iPad?
Does anyone know?

There are many but here are a few…

  1. PC can pair ANT+ devices by adding a dongle, iPad cannot
  2. PC offers various different levels of graphics quality, screen resolution, and frame rates depending on the PC hardware specs. iPad is currently capped at 30FPS and the most basic graphics profile.
  3. PC gets Zwift updates more quickly as there is no app store review process
  4. iPad allows you to swipe away some HUD elements, PC does not
  5. Some iPad models don’t have the distance of riders behind you shown on the HUD

When running Zwift on a PC, it’s important to understand what kind of PC hardware will produce the best visual experience. With an iPad it makes little difference. If you are contemplating a PC purchase for running Zwift you need to do more research or come here and ask questions.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Not buying a new pc, but may try with an existing Lenovo with Intel i7 and see what happens.
