Has anyone made the switch from MacBook to iPad for their personal computer? Any advice on either choice? I need a computer as I can’t be applying to jobs on my work laptop

I have and it works 95% of the time for me. Sometimes I have issues saving files / remembering where I saved them, uploading certain files and accessing an external drive. Think some of that is due to user error 😅. Prefer to use Teams on a laptop, but that is strictly choice.

Size is not an issue with the largest iPad Pro. I needed another device for the same reason, and am waiting to purchase the new 14” MacBook pro this fall.

I agree, saving documents can be a challenge and some of the formatting doesn’t save correctly for me.

It’s not a great experience . The iPad was not designed to be anything beyond a tablet and it shows. I keep wanting my iPad to be more than it is...I’ve bought a mouse and keyboard for it...it’s ok...but I’ve been spoiled by the trackpad.

Honestly, if you’re in the market for a tablet/laptop convertible I’d check out the Surface or something similar. The Surface Go runs full windows and you can get the keyboard as an add on for like 149 or something. In the end you’ll pay about as much for a basic iPad and be able to run full applications on it.

iPad Pro with the stupid expensive keyboard does everything I need from a personal computer. The one area it fails is video editing (I’m a premiere user), but I’ll blame that on Adobe as much as Apple.

Agree SC1 - you must have the magic keyboard. It really is transformative for the iPad

I did. I ended getting an iMac during the pandemic because I teach and the iPad wasn’t ideal for running virtual classes. I’d been going strong with an iPad for several years before that, though, and still use it for a ton of stuff when I don’t want to be sitting at my desk.

Oh and agreed re: Magic Keyboard.
