The iPad Pro is my most used computer. It handles anything I need with respect to email, banking, internet usage, word processing, et cetera. It does a fair job with image editing as well, using Photos with RAW Power, SnapSeed, and Affinity Photo. The keyboard folio case provides an excellent keyboard and folds up around it, protecting the Pad as well. The 11" diagonal model has a super-crisp and easy to see screen, and you can use external keyboards, pointing devices, and even displays with it (including wired ones using the appropriate adapter). The 11" inch model is also just the right size to fit easily in most any of my camera carrying bags other than the very smallest.
My primary use of the desktop system is to run Lightroom and other legacy applications that I have way too much data and information invested in to want to migrate to anything else unless I absolutely have to. :) G > On Mar 6, 2023, at 9:49 AM, David J Brooks <[email protected]> wrote: > > My main worry is if the desktop crashes or get infected that i have > something to carry on with my different emails and banking, until a new mac > can be bought, if the ipad will do all that i may just go that route and > forget the macbook for the time being > > Dave > > On Mon, Mar 6, 2023 at 12:45 PM David J Brooks <[email protected]> wrote: > >> >> >> On Mon, Mar 6, 2023 at 12:34 PM Godfrey DiGiorgi <[email protected]> >> wrote: >> >>> >>> >>> I ran with a MacBook Pro as one of my personal computers, and another as >>> my work computer for the last five years of my career at Apple.
