We have a MacBook Air 2013 that is on its last legs and we need to replace it. My wife also wants an iPad so that she can read our Apple News+ subscription and watch movies in bed. I feel like the most cost effective solution is to get a keyboard case for the iPad and use it as the laptop replacement. The only thing we use the MacBook Air for is normal web browsing, ordering pictures prints via the web, some home office work using Google Docs, and I use it to remote to my PC when I don’t feel like going to my basement office.
I don’t see why a keyboard case wouldn’t suffice in this scenario. The Magic Keyboard trackpad entices me, especially potentially not having to rewire any muscle memory with normal web usage, using google docs, or when I remote to my PC. But is the web browsing experience nerfed enough by iPadOS that its not worth spending $300 on the Magic Keyboard? Is it better to get the cheaper Smart Keyboard Folio case and try to use the Apple Pencil for the same workflow instead?
Just curious what this community’s experience with these accessories are. Thanks in advance for the input.
hey friend, I’ve been using team viewer for many years and HATE it!! I was looking into alternatives like anyConnect but jump desktop looks great!
I was looking for pricing and found their app store entry (black friday, 50% off!)
The description says:
Does this mean if I buy it in the mac app store I can use it on windows as well without another license? Is it one-time purchase?
I appreciate your comment because I’ve been sitting in getting the desktop (macOS) app, but the sale helps lots! Thank you!
I am not sure if I’m understanding your question but thus far I’ve used the (paid) ios app and the free desktop sharing app, but I they have a desktop app that connects computer to computer that I don’t have yet (referred to above).
