I think a lot of iOS developers would switch to this setup if Apple would just port Xcode.
Well up until now I was flying 100K a year and bringing my MacBook Air and my 11 iPad Pro. The laptop was for working on presentations, docs, doing demos and SSH. The iPad was for the airplane and the hotel room bed. If I can really be productive on the iPad+keyboard setup then that changes what I will be packing. After the Apple store open again I am looking forward to trying this out. One downside, no Steam games f…

What does one do, that the other couldn't?
Is it something basic like touch? or something slightly more complex (but evidently do-able) like a detachable keyboard?

I've got to ask - why were you carrying both? What does one do, that the other couldn't? Is it something basic like touch? or something slightly more complex (but evidently do-able) like a detachable keyboard?
