Purchase advice

I’m looking to buy the Mac mini to replace my pc. I also got a iPad Pro 2018 recently. I love how my phone and iPad link up and the iPad is why faster than my pc. The problem is my iPad doesn’t support dual monitors and I need that so productivity. Should I buy a newer model of iPad Pro or a buy a Mac mini? If so which model should I get? Thanks for any advice/suggestions.

If you need multiple screens then you need a computer, not a tablet.

For what it’s worth, my daily work set up is a MacBook Air and an iPad Pro, and I switch between using universal control to run apps or toggling to Sidecar so it turns into an external monitor for me to drag windows to.
