That's why the iPad isn't a personal computer. It's a computer that Apple lets you use, for purposes they approve of, only if they get paid a percentage of any commercial transaction that happens on the device.
It's a nice reader and portable second display, though.
- bee_rider 2y agoThey were setting the goalposts for a “pro” computer, though, not a personal one. I mean this is a site for programmers. Surely everyone here has the experience of bumping their head on annoying IT-approved vendor-supported software limitations, right? It could be a pro device where your company locks down everything inside an Apple provided framework. They could even (since they are going to need to put together the plumbing for this anyway to comply with EU) have an internal IT department provided company store. People here want iPad libre. I want that too. I don’t think that’s what Apple means by pro, though.
