Poll of the Day > I'm seeing how far I can go with having a 12.9" iPad Pro replace a

(+) Yeah! (+)

computer, and its working out pretty well. I got a mouse, trackpad, keyboard, and pencil for it (dont really need both the mouse and trackpad, but I was interested in trying to see the best setup.

The only issues I have are related to things I shouldnt entirely be doing or some hobby projects (like having my Own website). These could all be gotten around with more money. I use calibre to manage my Kindle, an overdrive command line (legal) workaround to download mp3 audiobooks from the library, things like that. I dont think I could remote into work from my iPad, but thats the biggest limitation I see.

But I have music recording, guitar effect processing, digital painting, python programming, research, and writing all down. My pro is also just 64 GB, which will be an issue if I didnt have my computer to back up some stuff with. I dont PC game, only console game, so thats not an issue. I *might* be able to give up the TV also if I wanted to stream everything from PS4 to iPad and buy a faster internet connection. But Id say an iPad could replace a laptop for most college students now. I tried to do it in college, but it just wasnt there yet with iOS still being used over iPadOS.

Wow, back-to-back topics of yours no one posted in? I am shocked.

If the screen plays up, replace it right away.

iPad Pros (especially the twelve inch models) are plagued with screen freeze issues that Apple has vehemently denied existing.
Everyone who I've met irl with an iPad Pro 12 inch model also suffers from these issues, as do I.

The apple pencil however works even on segments of the screen that are playing up (and the screen can be briefly fixed by turning the screen off/on quickly), so if you only use the pencil and/or trackpad that should negate these issues.

Hopefully it won't happen!
Makes 'em a pain to use.
