Questions to ask yourself if you’re considering an iPad over a MacBook

- Is 8 hours all the battery you need? - Are you okay with a cropped up second-display? - Can you live without Dual Boot, virtualBox, and even Final Cut Pro? - Are you okay with the specs:Money ratio?

As a software developer, I wouldn't use an iPad over a MacBook.

Fun note: in the new M1 models, you can't run Virtualbox either.

iPhone and iPad have replaced almost all of my personal computing needs. I still use a MacBook for a DAW to play guitar. I am traveling these days and the MacBook stayed home.

My work laptop is now an M1 MBP. It's working out fine (after a few Docker hiccups).
