On: Your Move, iPad

[deergomoo]

At this point, the only thing standing in the way of me doing work on my iPad Pro is Apple.

Would I like to work for 8 hours a day on it? Of course not. But I work mostly from home now. It would be great if I could ditch my laptop and have a desktop Mac for the bulk of my work, with the iPad filling the gaps.

But as things stand, I can't run a web server, can't run PHP or Node, I can't even open dev tools in the browser without relying on a "real computer". Which is especially stupid considering that, even though my "real computer" is a 16" MacBook Pro that cost 3x what the iPad cost, the iPad is faster in many regards (and doesn't burn the skin off my lap either).

You can run the webservers on a raspberry pi easily. I think you can even connect them via USB-C directly and have a wired network between them.

I do agree about the lack of dev tools on iPad Safari though

In this case then the Raspberry Pi fits the definition of "real computer" :)
