- mark_l_watson 11y agoI think that I agree with you now, but I wouldn't have last week. I just upgraded from the original iPad mini to a mini 4 and with dual app display, and web based IDEs like nitrous.io that run on mini 4, iPad Air 2, and the new pro iPad, and good SSH shell apps, and generally really fast operation, the iPad is starting to work for me in a limited way for writing and light weight development tasks. I was blown away by the new Microsoft Surface Book but I don't think that I will buy one. I really like my 1080p Chromebook and along with two old Mac laptops and an older Linux laptop, I just don't see the motivation to get a new laptop. I could see myself getting the Pro iPad of a Surface 4 in the future. I used to think that a key part of my software development workflow was sitting on my deck with a yellow notepad and a comfortable pen. I now use a tablet for thinking time.
