(1) It depends, as ever, on one's needs. iOS is limited by design in order to deliver the things it's intended to do more smoothly. There's a lesson there. (2)

(1) It depends, as ever, on one's needs. iOS is limited by design in order to deliver the things it's intended to do more smoothly. There's a lesson there. (2) Many people really only use any computer as a consumption device, but the general ding of iOS as "read only" has always rung hollow to me. A large number of people work primarily with text -- emails, posts, documents, spreadsheets, presentations. An iPad with a keyboard is a GREAT tool for them, and that's not a "read only" use case. As an aside, when I last updated my camera kit I added an iPad Pro to use for photo processing and culling when traveling instead of a laptop. It's actually GREAT for that, too, but this level of power is relatively new to the platform.
