Kuo is good at predicting Apple product release features. His financial predictions are not “all over the place.” They are awful. He routinely misses by a mile, almost always on predicting iPhone sales numbers.

How to use iPad as a Mac replacement and why you'd want to

May 2024

I have used an iPad Pro for the last 3 years, nearly completely replacing my MacBook Pro. I am an author, software developer, digital artist, musician, physician. I have written several … (more)books using iPad and Pages or iPad and Scrivner. I have developed VR software graphic schemata, illustrated scientific theory, made animations, videos and recorded songs. It’s been a total workhorse on video conferencing. The last MacBook Pro I have owned is the last Intel model with 64 gigs of memory 2 terabyte drive and their fastest processor. I abandoned it for the first M1 iPad Pro. I used the M2 from the day it was released and now have and M4. There are programs that can only be run on a computer, but those are vanishing slowly and are usually highly specialized. Side loading can only be done on a computer. Medical records programs are best run on a computer. The touch interface is a vast improvement for editing anything, especially, photos, videos and recorded music. There are programs on the iPad that are not as usable or as available on the Mac. Multitasking on an iPad takes a little getting used to, but putting in more time than a week of writing a review will create good muscle memory and smooth workflow. Sometimes I need my computer. The last time was 3 months ago. The next will be in a few weeks, when I have to side load a program we are developing. Along my journey, many people have blamed something happening on their end on my using an iPad. Every time this has happened it has proven to be an error or fault with their computer. My iPads never crashe. The screens are far superior. Their speed is great. Cloud computing is fast and efficient. The software business I run is all remote and I have never used my Mac for any meeting in the last 3 years. For me, the iPad weigh Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil has relegated my Mac to a minor role in my computing life. Oh, yeah, I also would never use my Mac to consume content. The iPad is far better at doing so. I want to be clear. My practice ran on Macs. I personally have used almost every model of Mac that has ever existed. I ordered new machines yearly, until the M1 iPad Pro. I loved Macs, but the iPad Pro is superior in almost all of the ways I work and play. (less)
