Nor do I. The most populous nations on Earth are building coal fired power plants at a breakneck pace, and grid scale storage for renewable energy is a long ways off.

A few years back when I had to use an iPad for work, the big problems I noted were:
1) An inability to multitask. I was told iOS could only run processes for a single app at a time. If I punched in a route for the Nav program to figure out, switched to the company app to check on order details, when I switched back to the nav program it would have figured nothing out and only start planning the route when it was up on the main screen again. I never got a solid answer if this was a limitation of the iPad/iOS, a deliberate security 'feature' with iOS, or the result of lack of ability on the people programming the apps for our company.

and 2) Frivolous, 'fashion' elements to the software. iOS would come out with periodic updates that did nothing to fix issues or improve features. The most notable was one where they changed the swipe direction for changing apps. The older apps used to be to one side, then an 'upgrade' came and the old apps were on the other. Why would it matter enough which side they are on to switch it? The only difference in reality was that for a month or two after the change, my vehicle was a greater risk in traffic because I used the swipe changes while driving routes as a way to deal with info without being distracted from the road, except now I had to focus on memorizing which arbitrary construct had replaced the other.

As far as the browsers go, if a more powerful machine is processing websites slower than your iPad, I'd guess the Mac browser was blocking all sorts of tracking greyware junk that iOS is welcoming on board, you are likely sending up flares about all of your web activity to get the seamless, quick experience on the iPad...?
