All things me.

This all leaves 2024’s modern iPad Pro in a very familiar place: It is a remarkable piece of hardware that can handle pretty much any task it’s capable of executing without breaking a sweat, and thanks to its new display, it’ll look great doing it. But it’s let down by iPadOS limitations (and more than a decade of slow-paced iPad development) that preclude it from being the shining star of Apple’s productivity line-up that it should probably be.”

One final quick thought before heading to bed: I love having this blog! It doesn’t matter if I write frequently or not, it’s always there when I need it and when I do I usually read a bit in the past as well and get delighted about the things that I’ve written down.

Also, the 2020 iPad Pro is quite a nice portable blogging machine. I don’t want to bring my laptop on vacation since it will inevitably lead to me working, so the options were either the 2020 iPad Pro or the 2019(?) iPad Mini, or no tablet at all. I’ve traveled with the mini before and really liked it but I wanted the bigger screen this time around and the onscreen keyboard has worked surprisingly well for writing. I’d probably get crazy if I tried to use it frequently as more of a work machine without an external keyboard but as a vacation device it’s nice to have.

Also, also, Drafts combined with a couple of WordPress related Shortcuts makes for a great blogging workflow.

Gboard and swiping takes some getting used to but I do think that it’ll be the most efficient way of writing on the iPad mini with the Apple Pencil.
