Tried to display a web demo, some custom diagramming, and a PowerPoint on conference room screen from the laptop. Unable to use the enterprise guest WiFi due to their security proxies, and the hotspot was too slow. Popped the same USB-C HDMI adapter in the iPad, and showed all the content over LTE.
Seems like a great argument for buying a Windows laptop with built in LTE, and/or pressuring Apple to add LTE to MacBooks.
- Terretta 7y agoFirst, it’s a terrible argument for it, main point was none of the Windows machines (employees not on the guest network) could sync with the HDMI screen via their array of HDMI and UBC-C ports? Driver problems, settings problems, screen management challenges ... LTE chip doesn’t solve that. (OK, Mac with LTE would kick ass. Apple need to port “low data mode” over to MacOS.) Second, how many Windows or Mac laptops angle the screen from the middle of the base thanks to no touchpad, so the whole thing fits on a short airplane keyboard tray, or take no room on a cafe table, and are as easy to carry around as a legal pad in a folio? https://support.apple.com/library/content/dam/edam/applecare/images/en_US/ipad/ipad/ipad-pro-3rd-gen-smart-keyboard-viewing-angle-animation.gif https://support.apple.com/library/content/dam/edam/applecare... The new generation isn’t ‘origami’, it’s firm on your lap w/o a table as well. // I also have all the various Surfaces, and other brands’ attempts to achieve similar form factors in Windows. Better than old iPad origami keyboard nonsense, worse than new iPad smart keyboard.
