I appreciate the effort that goes into these products but I find the market position weird. Case in point: by the time I add a keyboard case to my 11" iPad Pro, it weighs more than my MacBook Air does and it's not a lot smaller. I think I should just take the MacBook Air with me. That has the same CPU, storage and memory and I can run full stack on it fine. That is not to denigrate the usefulness of the iPad, which I…

Plus, your MacBook Air comes with a calculator.

>The killer app I find with my iPad is when you need pen input. For drawing, doing route planning in OS maps and general research and note taking it's an amazing little device.

this is one of things I still love about Apple (being Mac user since Apple II). They really done their market research and how users use the devices. Each device is designed for some specific purposes on daily usage.

FYI: You can do simple calculations in the Spotlight-like search prompt of the iPad.

Yeah this one actually pisses me off about the iPad. The Mac calculator in RPN mode is my goto but on iOS, nope!

I think I don't want a laptop, but the only thing preventing me from getting the most powerful iPad is Apple policies, you are right, when you put a keyboard on the iPad it weights as much as your MacBook Pro, but then the tablet is on his desk, and the ability to remove it and just use it in the bath to read something, or to hang it to a iron arm and watch a video are not that easy with a MacBook, as soon as iPad su…

That's never going to happen. I guarantee it.

At least for me, I do'nt have a Macbook Air. I've got a 10" ipad air, and a 14" Macbook Pro - this would make a huge amount of sense for me for travel.

I don't have a MacBook Air either despite writing that. I sold it and bought a 14" MacBook Pro. That's still better.

I've been looking for a good code editor for my phone for a very long time already. This looks supernice, but I have an Android smartphone... Can anyone recommend a good IDE that runs on an Android phone?

Termux is your best friend. It is basically a fully featured Linux shell on your Android phone.
