Could you go for a week with an iPad Pro with the Pencil and

>daily driver

>>60237609
can i plug a mouse into it and then RDP into windows machines?

>>60237666
I tried that with my iPad retina, it doesn't work.

>>60237609
probably. Imagine shitposting using nothing but handwritten images. That might be fun for about a week

I could, but I would be ssh'd into a real computer the entire time.

I actually saw an article on using an ipad pro as a "real computer", they literally showed you how to buy a $5 VPS in order to use your $1000 toy to log into a REAL computer remotely.
Apparently, the shame in doing this was completely lost on the writer.

I only take my iPad Air with me on vacations and do just fine, even in the rare instance I need to get some quick work done at like a cafe or something.

>>60237609
My iPad is literally a youtube and porn machine.

Not really. Keyboard is too shitty, but the pen is nice for drawing. Improve the keyboard and I'd say yes.

>>60237918
Logitech keyboard for iPad is goat

Why not just use a Surface instead?

>>60237609
No, shit doesn't have javac or anything CAD related

no because a backpack is optimal and fits a laptop and accessories quite fine.

>>60238024
found the windows shill

>>60238245
Yeah man, I'm a shit for suggesting a much better alternative in the same form factor and at the same price point

Nigger

>>60238245
They buy a Surface and install Gentoo

>>60238286

not him but surface isn't a better alternative for a braindead faggot ie teenager, blue collar guy, retired lady

>>60238319
LOCKED
BOOTLOADER

>>60238322
It hurts because you're right

MS really needs to convince more developers to make/port touch friendly apps for their store

As long as I don't have to pay for it sure.
I'd get bored pretty quick tho.

Yeah, I'd lose out on games but I go a week without playing games all the time anyways.

Riot is on iOS, so is Pocket Casts. 90% of what I do on my computer is listen to podcasts and chat with my boyfriend on Riot.

So, yeah. Pretty easily.

sure if its the 4g verison so i can ssh and use the matlab app for mobile. why not? seems good for taking meeting notes and shit

>>60238802
Are you a grill or a fucking faggot?

>>60239356
A grill to my boyfriend, a fucking faggot to you.

>>60238324
not on the pro, dipshit.

>boot into bios
>disable SecureCuck™
>boot from usb
>????

>>60239532
so youre a sissy fag

>>60239641
Sure

I use an Nvidia Shield with stylus as my "daily driver". Haven't had a Windows PC of my own for a couple of years now. I can plug a mouse right into the micro USB port (with a $0.99 Chinese adapter) and edit Word and Excel documents as much as I need to. Plus do all the mundane shit like online banking and emails, etc.

>>60237609
Could I? Yes. Would I? No.

>>60237609
depends on how responsive the damned thing is and how good the screen is

i'm an animator, if it can't do run flash or something then it can fuck off

>>60237609
No.

>>60237609
would it count if i spent most of the time in a remote shell to my VPS?

>>60237609
>A week without playing PC games
Fuck on outta here

>>60240681
-- hell, i could SSH into a chrooted GNU/Linux system on my Android phone
would that still count?

No I have actual workloads that would takes weeks to run on one

If i could get a BT mouse working with it, sure.

Theres a reasonably decent array of programs on iOS, but being forced to touch everything after a week of my typical computer usage would be beyond tedious.

>>60237609
I'll use a surface pro ie an actual computer instead if applel mobile phone garbage, thanks.

>>60238245
Found the Redditor

It certainly wouldn't be ideal.
It'd be annoying, inconvenient, and I'd have to compromise a lot of what I do, but I could manage as long as I wasn't doing anything productive.

If management me to work on a project though, I'd be right fucked.

>>60237609
>daily driver

Holy fuck what an insufferable pompous term. KYS

>>60238024
surface doesn't have apps

>>60241201
Most iOS applications respect standard Mac OS keyboard shortcuts.

>>60237609
Easy. I used an iPad for 5 days as my only device not but 2 months ago. And by iPad I mean the original iPad, running iOS 5, with it's whole 256MB of ram.

>>60237609
I went three weeks in Europe with just a Galaxy S6 and Kobo Glo HD.

>Apple is still relevant here

>>60239661
Fucking gay boy faggot

>>60242323
Apple is the most successful and influential company on the planet.

I use my phone out of convenience so often that I could get by without anything else for a month, much less a week. The Pro probably has better performance than my actual daily driver netbook anyway.

>>60237609
heh, only if i'd get 3000 mails on monday that i have to answer till friday

>>60242631
Apple is a smartphone company which used to make decent Unix'ish laptops in the past.

>>60237609
Can I shitpost with it?

>>60237609

For work, probably, since most of what I do is check email and get info off the web.

My only question is why I would need a thousand dollar device to do that.

>>60237788
That's what smartphones are for
