“Back when I worked exclusively on my iPad, writing posts for Cult of Mac and everything related to that, I had a hell of a time getting some things done” Charlie Sorrel writes for Cult of Mac. “It seemed like every tiny step needed to be researched before I could get anything done.”
“In the end, I quit and went back to a split iPad/iMac setup, but not for the reasons you might think,” Sorrel writes. “Now, when I take my iPad out to work, like when we visit a trade show or I go traveling for a few days, I don’t even have to think about it. So much has changed in the last couple of years that the iPad really is as capable as a Mac for many jobs – and you don’t have to be a nerd to do it.”
“The main hurdle was working with pictures. While the iPad is pretty great for viewing and editing photos, it used to be that this editing wasn’t really about accurate pixel dimensions or working with multiple images,” Sorrel writes. “[Now], if I go away for a week, I don’t take a MacBook.
