I would disagree with the conclusion. It sounds like a faulty line of hardware on the M2 Air then.

My partner is the IT manager at a school where they have over 1000 iPads (10th gen) deployed with iOS 18 and there are no reported issues like this. We ourselves have iPad Pro M2's without these issues which we both use all day every day. Our kids have 3x 10th gen iPads too. No issues.

YMMV but they just work for us and the software, which not perfect, is probably the least shit out there.

I mean the trash heap in my office is mostly Surface machines as a comparison...

If you like staying in a post-soviet hostel, that's perfect.

I rather like something comfortable these days, so I'll stick with my M1 MacBook Pro. The creature comforts genuinely make my life better so I'm willing to pay for them.

Anon for obvious reasons. I'm one of the few full time home workers at my org. I slack off all the time. I mean literally I did an hour of work on Friday.

But this was a complete restart of something two of my in-office colleagues fucked up over the space of 2 weeks.

The problem in orgs is shit people, not working from home.
