I have been trying to code on my Pro for years; depressing every time.
The day I can finally code on this thing is the day that I stop carrying a laptop with me.
- throwaway894345 4y agoWe have a Pro and basically the only advantage is illustration via Apple pencil. It’s even more frustrating to type on than a phone, and every external keyboard I’ve seen requires a flat surface (no ergonomic typing on your lap). In hindsight I’d rather have spent the money on an M1 MacBook Air and a Wacom tablet.
- rsfinn 4y agoHow about getting a MacBook Air and using your iPad Pro as a second display (using SideCar) on which you can also draw with your Apple Pencil? Possibly more flexible than a Wacom tablet.
- throwaway894345 4y agoThat’s probably the path forward at this point. Not super keen to shell out for a Macbook Air at the moment (they’re definitely a compelling machine, but I’m trying to keep costs down for other priorities).
- bosie 4y agoNot an endorsement but have a look at Brydge Max+, maybe that is a keyboard that works for you if a non-flat surface is a requirement.
- mbreese 4y ago> the day that I stop carrying a laptop with me I gave up on the idea of coding in my iPad when I realized that my iPad Pro, with the keyboard, weighed as much as a MacBook. There was no real benefit after that point, so I stopped trying. :(
