I'm actually not seeing that and the market numbers don't agree with ya on that. Many less "pro" consumers (not coders or the heavy engineering skew you find here on HN) in my circles have moved away from their traditional Macs as their iPads coupled with their keyboard case of choice or apple pencil (or both) do a lot of their on-the-go.
- satvikpendem 3y agoIn my circles of even non-tech people, everyone has a new Apple Silicon MacBook now, I rarely see people using their iPad for work.
- ghaff 3y agoI've had people at work tell me their kid doesn't want a MacBook because their phone works fine for writing papers. My brain still can't process. I've never made my iPad work for me on a business trip except for something very short where I won't really be writing. I also don't draw and, while I could probably do photo editing on it well enough, I wait until I get home and use old-school Lightroom.
- poulsbohemian 3y agoI'd agree with this, with one little carve out... when I was traveling internationally, it was super helpful to have an iPad and be able to slip in a sim card for a local carrier. That plus slightly smaller size made the iPad a better option than carrying my laptop in those specific circumstances.
- ghaff 3y agoFair point. I don't have an iPad with cellular. Honestly not sure when/if I'll get a new iPad--it's about 6 years old--and I have a long recreational international trip coming up; haven't decided if I'll bring a laptop or not.
