At this point, the only thing standing in the way of me doing work on my iPad Pro is Apple.
Would I like to work for 8 hours a day on it? Of course not. But I work mostly from home now. It would be great if I could ditch my laptop and have a desktop Mac for the bulk of my work, with the iPad filling the gaps.
But as things stand, I can't run a web server, can't run PHP or Node, I can't even open dev tools in the browser without relying on a "real computer". Which is especially stupid considering that, even though my "real computer" is a 16" MacBook Pro that cost 3x what the iPad cost, the iPad is faster in many regards (and doesn't burn the skin off my lap either).
- theshrike79 6y agoYou can run the webservers on a raspberry pi easily. I think you can even connect them via USB-C directly and have a wired network between them. I do agree about the lack of dev tools on iPad Safari though
- deergomoo 6y agoIn this case then the Raspberry Pi fits the definition of "real computer" :)
