I would, if Apple would just make a MacBook w/ a stylus --- I don't want the hassle of multiple devices, but I'm not willing to give up a stylus --- at this point, I'm considering just breaking down and getting a Mac Mini and Wacom Cintiq Pro 16 and giving up portability/battery.
- macintux 4y agoWhat applications do you want to use a stylus with? iPads are really good at what they do, and Apple makes integration with their laptops straightforward. You can easily share files back and forth. In fact I wouldn’t be surprised if you could use an iPad as an external display with the Apple Pencil, but I haven’t researched that.
- junar 4y agoYeah, so Sidecar is free for owners of recent-ish iPads and Macs. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT210380 https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT210380 Luna Display is a more premium option. https://astropad.com/luna-display-vs-apple-sidecar/ https://astropad.com/luna-display-vs-apple-sidecar/
- WillAdams 4y agoCarbide Create and Macromedia Freehand are the major stumbling blocks. The former isn't available for the iPad, the latter predates it, and I find the nearest analogue, Serif's Affinity Designer not quite right. I also like having access to a file system, and the ability to run arbitrary opensource tools such as OpenSCAD and OpenSCAD Graph Editor and RapCAD.
