I'm just wondering how many of you have decided to go all in with their iPad Pro and make it their primary computer? And if you have, what challenges or compromises did you face? And what were your solutions or workarounds to solve them?
The reason I'm asking is because I realized today that since getting my iPad Pro I've not used my MacBook Pro at all. I've grown comfortable with the keyboard and it's functionality and the iPad Pro really does meet all my computing needs, with the exception of having access to movies and tv shows that I haven't purchased via iTunes. I decided to use Google Drive to upload those movies and tv shows so that I can access them on my iPad Pro. So far this is the only real concern I've faced.
I know some people do more with their computers than I do and they have need for more flexibility in their OS. I do concede that iOS does have some restrictions that have made me question whether iPad Pro could be the total laptop replacement that Apple touts it can be. But for the general uses of web browsing, entertainment, writing, spreadsheets, etc...that I use it for, it's really performing quite well. The battery life is excellent, the processing power is top notch. No issues with that. As well, I'm truly loving the True Tone display. It's a solid feature that I didn't know I needed and now wish it was available on all my iOS and OS X devices.
I don't think I'll be getting rid of my current MacBook Pro for sure, but I don't know if I'll be willing to replace it when it's time to upgrade to a new computer. I think I may just keep in cycle with the iPad Pro upgrades instead.
Anyway, just wondering what others think about it.
