      It’s always funny how upset certain computer users get when they see people enjoying something they don’t understand. Without a hint of self-realization, these Mac users look down on iPad users the exact same way Windows users did to them and the Mac back in the 90s. ‘Just a toy’https://twitter.com/nubero/status/1133786694543728641 …

      It shouldn’t be hard to understand that the people who are super-enthusiastic about iPad are so because they genuinely feel it’s the best computer they’ve ever used, *despite* not doing everything a Mac does. There’s no agenda, no conspiracy. They’ve just moved on

          (And for sure, there’s plenty wrong with iPad, and so much more we’d like to see. But that doesn’t mean we‘d prefer a Mac any more than we want a Windows or Linux box. iPad today provides the delight that the Mac hasn’t in a *very* long time, no matter how many features it has)

          iPad is to post-PC as electric scooters are to cars.

          I really wonder what the dynamic would be like if Apple had kept giving the Mac all the attention it deserved. I think a lot of the angst (and I include myself here), comes from a sense that iOS has directly led to the decline in the quality of the Mac, rather than adding to it.

          Fell in love with the Mac editing stop motion LEGO movies in high school on a g3 tower. Loved my iBook, 12” PowerBook, intel iMac and 2011 MacBook Pro. Haven’t purchased another Mac since. iPad Pro is too much fun.

          You say this while that Italian dude runs a Trump style grifter gig where he forces himself to use a ‘wildly unsuited for his needs’ computer just so he can make a living writing articles about doing so. Don’t be silly. A lot of these ‘full time iPad users’ have an agenda.

          I almost feel sorry for my MacBook Pro. It's either the iPad Pro or the iMac.

          I think there a legitimate point about the lack of adoption of the iPad. Potential aside, it is simply not the massive step change in ease of use and functionality that the Mac and the iPhone were when they first launched.

          I love my iPad and like you, I am bullish about its future. It is perhaps the computer I use the most in a day, but there is no doubt that it is, at least in its current state, flawed in a way that the iPhone and the Mac are not.

          I love my Mac. It does a lot more than my iPad. Despite that, I find it’s sometimes just easier, and more importantly, more pleasant to work on the iPad. Can’t wait for next week to have these two systems another step closer to each other.pic.twitter.com/jdPvVCqp01

          I hope that it someday can be a replacement of my computer but right now it’s not even close. Since it can’t run premiere, photoshop, fcxp. I also need to hook up external drives and monitors. I might be okey for coding, emails and such. But that’s pretty much it today.
