Can I, a Google and Android guy, step over to iOS (iPad)

I’m debating purchasing an iPad.
My laptop is getting old and s l o w, and I don’t lug it with me while traveling (can’t afford the extra weight).
An iPad seems perfect; it can easily run photo editing apps and the like, I understand from reviews.
It’s light.
And I think that watching a YouTube or Netflix movie won’t be a problem either?
In other words, I feel I can live without a computer from now on (desktop/laptop).

But, is it possible, and/or easy to step over from Google/Android to iOS?
While staying a Google/Android guy?

And can you give me all, known to you, pros and cons of doing this switch?

Thanks in advance!
