Fascinating, please tell us more?
My muscle memory is tied to keyboards and multiple windows so I just couldn’t get productive on an iPad and found the 12.9 a bit heavy and awkward for a couch computer. I see where the money went: M2, amazing screen but it’s not my first choice. Curious about your usage. eg how do you use the (janky imho) windowing and multitasking?
- infecto 3y agoThe thing I dislike the most is the keyboard shortcuts and workflows are just different enough in iOS that its not quite interchangable enough.
- pseudosavant 3y agoThat’s been my experience. Death by a thousand paper cuts from iOS reminding you how it isn’t a “real” OS like Mac or Windows.
- microtonal 3y agoWhich is not surprising. Apple wants you to buy an iPad and a MacBook.
- Terretta 3y agoUse Apple's Magic Keyboard with backlit keys and trackpad (which is also a USB-C charging dock). For multi-tasking, use Stage Manager to have thumbs of screens along the left side of the screen, and use the window affordances to resize windows with overlaps to have 2 or 3 applications open at the same time per thumbnail (a thumbnail isn't an app, it's a space or desktop). Windows can 1/2 overlap the thumbs, so it doesn't take much screen space, and you can also overlap or leave showing the dock across the bottom. This also works with a second monitor which can extend the desktop space instead of mirroring to it, then you can have a half dozen apps open at once. Of course the killer feature is 5G, all day battery, and paper-notebook level of portability.
