I replaced my Mac with an iPad for a whole week. It went well how you would expect

At a certain point, it comes to mind that, although this is all technically working (research!) real Work on this configuration tomorrow. For now, I disconnect the USB-C hub and go with the iPad for a reading in the evening. It is strange to bring my computer “work” in time for relaxation. My silenced image looks forward, presumably in abject jealousy.

Day 2: Shooting decisions

I quickly content myself with scrolling between some apps expanded to the full screen screen and a single “window” screen that often imitates the old view divided by iPad. This brings a sense of attention and less distractions than I tend to end up on my Imac. Much of this depends on the use of smaller display: there is less space to waste. But flexibility Now it also exists on iPad when I need it.

The iPad Pro itself becomes secondary, mainly used for the face ID (much better than touch ID on my iMac), video calls, reference and Apple music. At some point, I realize that I have recreated a typical configuration of the laptop-in-office, but, hey, it works. At least for research and writing. The most pounds are yet to come.

I miss my tablet Wacom, which I use like my main input device, even if not the RSI I get from my terrible habit of typing while keeping the stylus. Worse still, I miss the wider personalization of the Mac. BetterTouchTool It is absent. All my personalized keyboard shortcuts have gone. How is the Mac-Standard + Freccia option on/down to send the cursor at the beginning/end of a paragraph. My muscle memory is screaming.

Productivity is further subtracted by pages that allow exactly an open document at a time and the tragic apps for Google iPad. Fortunately, Google’s efforts improve in Safari, even if they make me crave the web apps, as if I went up to the Mac. Suggestion suggestion, Apple.

Day 3: Crash and Bruciated

A mixed day. The iPados Beta is increasingly crashtastic. Apps lose concentration. The external display is randomly open until it is reply. The menu bar refuses to appear on the second display for a whole day. And there is no shell mode, so the iPad screen must always be turned on, brilliant in my peripheral vision.

In addition, too many apps cling to save everything in their folders inside the iCloud Drive. This is not the case that archives things, not likely also how you do. I hope some of these problems will be solved by September.
