Maybe I’m not taking advantage of everything the iPad has to offer. But as soon as I need to put together a website post, it all becomes difficult on the iPad. Researching on the web, reading feeds and emails etc. I write a lot and that works pretty well with the iPad. I don’t blame just iPadOS, but also many poorly optimized apps. I am actually writing this on it.īut I am still glad that I have my MBP 14 inch now, because for me the iPad isn’t enough unfortunately or it is just cumbersome. That one went crazy in weeks, they exchanged it again, the same happened again, but I was over it and just used the MBP plugged in until I could buy one of these rumored MBPs with Apple‘s own silicon …Īnd that’s what I did, even after buying an iPad Pro 11 inch and also the Magic Keyboard for it soon after that. I had a mid-2015 MBP 15 inch and after the original battery died, I got a non-Apple replacement. I just put a 1GB SSD into this, so it's got enough storage moving forward but there's also a NAS in the household. For more complicated stuff at home, I can remote desktop into the MacBook Pro which I'll keep on a shelf in my office. My thoughts are that the iPad Air + BT keyboard and mouse will be fine for work and leisure day to day, in terms of using Microsoft Word, attending Teams Meetings, watching YouTube videos, and general browsing. I already replaced the battery three times. Each battery is nearly £100 here in the UK so it's expensive if this is going to be a yearly tax (and I worry that the charging circuit might be dead, rather than the battery). But alas, the battery has died-and I only just replaced it last year via iFixIt. I've been an immensely happy user of a mid-2015 MacBook Pro for seven years. I work as a journalist and use a MBP for work and leisure. Is it a usable setup to get an iPad Air 5th gen with BT keyboard+mouse, and use it for everyday stuff-but also remote desktop into a Mac for stuff the iPad just doesn't do, such as torrenting, or things that are just better on a desktop, such as working on larger spreadsheets?
