Computer/laptop recommendations

Unfortunately, an iPad Pro can’t be used to (directly) control the machine — it won’t function as a USB host device, and there’s no software in the App store for this sort of thing.

You can instead use a small single board computer and connect using a tablet interface such as: https://wiki.shapeoko.com/index.php/Carbide_Motion_Machine_Control_Software#Network_Connectivity

connect with a browser to port 8080

I’d also suggest looking into Shapr3D and MeshCAM (some discussion of that here).
