I’m really just trying to gather opinions here as I’m really stumped about what to do.
I have a mid-2012 MacBook Pro. I love it. It still runs well, but definitely gets hot and you can hear the fan working hard. Occasionally it slows a bit and programs crash, but I really have absolutely no complaints especially considering it’s 6 years old. I got it while I was in grad school so it definitely got a lot of use at that time, but ever since then (5 years ago), I really mostly use it when I need to type an email, find attachments, want to watch video on a larger screen than my iPhone, updating my resume/CV and when I’m chatting on iMessage and want an easier way of typing.
Given my use cases and the fact that the folio cover has what appears to be a good keyboard, do you think I’d be able to achieve everything comfortably with the new 12.9” iPad Pro? I also edit photos a lot on my iPhone, but I imagine it’d be a lot more comfortable on an iPad.
I had an iPad before (second generation), but after a while it got extremely slow and I basically never used it.
I love the new MacBook Air as well, but I can’t really rationalize getting both. I really don’t think I need the power of a MacBook Pro for my use so, if I go the laptop route, I think the new Air would be the way for me to go. If I go the iPad route, I definitely would want the new Pro as I much prefer its design the the home button in-tact design.
Thoughts?
