When I finally pull the trigger, a new 13" iPad Pro w/ 16GB RAM, keyboard & stylus is gonna cost me €3,107. It would be by far the most powerful computer I own.

That's more than twice as much as what I paid for the Mac mini I do *all my development on*. It even beats out my high-end gaming PC whose GPU alone was €1800.

All of that goes to waste because it’s paired with a simplified, stripped-down OS using the same technology stack and limitations as a $300 Netflix device for your grandparents

@stroughtonsmith cellular or non cellular? I haven’t had an iPad since the mini from 2012 and M thinking of finally pulling the trigger on a pro

@ashah I always like to have cellular even if I only ever use it once a year

@stroughtonsmith thanks! Appreciate the response. I may hop on as well. My MBP is way too unwieldy so this would be nice to bring on vacations. If only we had macOS on it 🥲

Just need to decide between nano-texture or not. This is all new to me
