Unless you spend your days in Photoshop or Premiere, or you absolutely need some kind of esoteric accounting software, you don’t need all the computer you have. You’d be happier with something simpler, friendlier, and more attune to how you work.
Ditching your laptop for a tablet brings big benefits.
I could never make the iPad my only computer but this article has some good advice for those of you who can.
It’s fine for everything save super heavy lifting. I’ve invested so much in Logic, Office and Adobe Creative Cloud that the Mac is where I do the hard work.
Everything else is iPad.
Well at least Office is available on the iPad, and have great apps. But yeah, Logic and Adobe CC are going to be hard to get in a useful way on the iPad.
It isn’t the power or the ergonomics of the device that make it impractical as my every day computer.
Also., some things just don’t work out. You want to try and do a full page layout on an iPad? It’s like the eighties when you edit.
Well, if I could get it to load my ssh key to connect to a proxied mysql server…
Cubasis is pretty close to Logic on the iPad, you should have a look into how advanced the iPad is for both sequencing and synthesis. You can call up virtual synths as plug-ins as you do on the Mac and pretty much have the same functionality as Logic.
Most of the general stuff associated with cc is available from Adobe and if you are already subscribed to cc it’s all free on the iPad.
So have a look at what is available on the iPad. It may not be the same product with the same name but the functionality is already there.
