(Jolla's updates are frequent, so I'm not fretting about this.) It was simple to install Sailfish X: īluetooth is a bit patchy at the moment (the keyboard drops out occasionally) I'm waiting for a software update to fix that. ), I'm using a Sony Xperia X phone as my travel computer. While waiting for my Youyota Sailfish tablet (. So what's your solution? Running a virtual machine containing a fully unrestricted OS on your iPad? (EDIT: I see someone below pointed out the "Fusion 360" iOS app which seems like a gimped, ahem I mean mobile, version of the full app.) Well that would have really been some relevant information to reply with. However trying to use one or more obscure package is the litmus test for how usable the iPad is in its ability to let you branch out and try obscure things. So the obscure CAD package itself is not the litmus test for how usable something is, no. > The second you want to branch out and try something different. That was the entire point which was clearly stated from the first sentence: > Some obscure CAD package is not exactly the litmus test of how usable an iPad can be.Īctually, it is in this case. How is it not? This entire thread is about comparing iOS to a fully unrestricted desktop operating systems where we all work normally. Since that's not possible, I use a Surface Pro for Windows related development (working on a 3D indie game), and an MBP for web development. In my dreams, I can run Emacs, Ruby, Haskell, and all of my other development tools right on my iPad. So I'd say the iPad Pro is the best hardware out there, but it's hampered by software support. Unfortunately the keyboard is a problem, and the inability to run development software is a showstopper. The stylus is the best in the business (I strongly prefer it over a Wacom Cintiq). Battery life is good, usability for daily tasks is superb. The whole device is really solid, and it feels great in your hands. I'm not just talking about pixel density. It has the nicest screen I've ever laid eyes on. The iPad Pro (especially the full size version) is just stunning. You can run a VM, or the Linux subsystem, but that eats into the Surface's already extremely poor battery life. If you're a C# or Java developer then that's great, otherwise it's not so good. It's almost as good as the Apple Pencil, which is high praise. The stylus on the previous model wasn't very good, but the new one is great. It's slightly flimsy, so you have to keep it on a semi-solid surface, or the keyboard can start to buckle and cause some issues. The keyboard for the Surface Pro is pretty good. It weighs very little, and the construction quality is decent (though not as good as an iPad). As an ultra-portable laptop, it's decent. You pretty much need a magnifying glass to use them. A lot of Windows apps are not prepared for the high DPI screen, and are insanely tiny. I'm constantly struggling to click on UI elements that are way too small. I've tried using it without a mouse, but the Windows UI isn't designed for it. I basically treat it as a very small laptop. Get rid of the touch bar, bring back the ports, bring back Mag-Safe, and pretend this terrible laptop never happened. Apple urgently needs to put out a new MBP based on the previous design. It's one of the worst Apple products I've ever used. Simply put, I love Apple products, but the new MBP breaks my heart. The key travel is so low that the keys often get stuck. The touch bar hinders my productivity, and the new keyboard tends to malfunction. As someone with a 12 inch iPad Pro, Macbook Pro, and Surface Pro tablet, I can weigh in.Ī Macbook Pro is significantly more expensive than any of the other options, and frankly, I despise the redesigned MBP.
