Steve Troughton-SmithiPad has probably had the most dramatic shift of all of Apple's platforms, since its inception. It began as doing very few things to a very high quality, but now it does almost everything, badly. I hope history finds it to have been more than just an incubator for Apple's Mac silicon during the wayward years
adacosta@stroughtonsmith I disagree, it’s still great for watching videos in bed, listen to music, light and easy to carry around. Great for casual web browsing and email. Also, if I need a little more screen real estate from my MacBook Pro, sidecar is an excellent extended display feature. It’s just when you try to use it as a Mac replacement it comes up short. #Apple needs to add a Mac optimized mode: window management, multi-tasking in context.
Davide Di Stefano@adacosta I think you just confirmed the initial point.
It’s depressing that after 14 years this platform is only good for consuming media and doing causal work

@dzamir Its depressing that after 40 years, I can't use my #MacBook Pro as a touch screen, use Biometric sign in, use a stylus for creative purposes on that large trackpad and do pretty much the same things we have done on Macs for 30 to 40 years: word processing, email, point and click photo editing, vector illustration, web browsing, email, listen audio, watch videos on YouTube and software development. Last I checked, vast majority of those same tasks are or can be done on an #iPad.
