Or you could use a laptop...
I just don't get the obsession some people have for the iPad, jumping through hoops and putting up with so many compromises when most issues are solved using a laptop. Can someone explain this? I have an iPad but I primarily use it for watching films, I wouldn't dream of trying to get any work done on it when I have a Macbook.
- oaw845o8wj 2y agoSame. I get annoyed on systems where I have to use a mouse when I know keyboard shortcuts would be faster and more efficient, so having to do everything through a touchscreen is infuriating. And some people will say "well that's why you can buy a keyboard ..." so then it's a laptop, just not a great one. What's the point? ipad has always felt like a weird middle ground without an obvious niche, at least for my use.
- pompino 2y agoNot everyone has the same view as you. There are plenty of segments that Apple caters to including captive devices for field techs, education, retail, kiosks etc.
- roydivision 2y agoThis isn't what I'm talking about, these are niche areas where tablets fit fine. I'm talking about general use, writing, drawing, coding etc.
- pompino 2y agoIpads/tablets are very common business devices used for a variety of applications. We issue ipads to our field techs to do inspection checklists, take pictures at job sites, write notes, etc. Its a great device for that.
- roydivision 2y agoWhich is great, but I'm talking general use. They are a hindrance more than anything, like using a laptop with one hand tied behind your back.
