iPad Mini as a Comic Reader?

I’ve tried reading comics/manga on my Kobo Libra 2 and iPad mini 5th gen before but both turned out to be too small. Now I’m using iPad Air M3 11” and the size is perfect. Combine that with that one great comic/manga app (don’t know if it’s allowed here) and I have probably the best media machine ev

Have many of you replaced a laptop with an iPad?

I've heard the new iPad OS update is going to be great for this use case after talking about it elsewhere so it's good to see that being affirmed here. I am due to get the iPad Air 11" M3 tomorrow, going to order the case for it the day after. I can't wait to see what I can do with it for my workflo

Alright. Yeah I’m in love.

Using my IPad Air M3 as an external display was incredible. Opened up a whole new level of functionality for school work. If anyone has difficulty setting it up, comment below. It took me a little while to figure out the difference between Sidecar and using the iPad as an external display. It’s not

Sidecar: Do you use it? How? Are you satisfied with what it does and with how it works? Are you missing something?

When traveling for work, it serves as an iPad on the flight (unless I need to get actual work done on the flight). When I arrive, it serves as my second monitor. I'll use the magsafe port on my MacBook Air to power the laptop, then USB-C from MacBook Thunderbolt port to iPad charging port. Unless I'

iPad voor studie

Je zult een hoop moeten typen, dus toetsenbord is wel een must. De iPads hebben de optie, maar qua prijs zit je dan voor de M3 al gauw een aan MacBook NEO. Als de Surface nog een paar jaar mee kan, zit je met de iPad 11 helemaal prima. Mocht die Surface het niet nog 4 jaar uit kunnen houden, dan zou

iPad Air 13 inch m3.

I'm assuming CSP is clip studio paint. I'm bad with abbreviations, sorry. I have the iPad air M2 (funny enough I bought it 2 weeks before the air m3 was announced) I'm running Shapr3D (a 3D modeling/CAD program), procreate, and clip studio. I'm mainly 3D modeling stuff for product design, cityscape

iPad Only?

My MacBook of 10 years recently became completely unusable. I replaced it with an iPad Air M3 and a Logitech Combo Touch and Apple Pencil Pro. I have a PC I built a few years ago as well, but for 99% of my university and remote work, I can use the iPad. I think having access to a computer or laptop

What is the best computer for vector drawings?

You’re already in the Apple ecosystem with the iPad, so I would suggest sticking with a Mac. You don’t need anything overpowered for Adobe Illustrator, just something that runs smoothly when files get a bit more complex. A MacBook Air (M3 or newer) with 16GB RAM is a sweet spot. Fast, portable, and

iPad 11 Gen vs iPad Air M3

The iPad 11th Gen (A16) is more than capable for note-taking, reading books, and light productivity or drawing tasks. It’s future-proof for the next four to five years. The M3 Air’s additional power won’t be noticeable in these tasks, saving you money. Both devices support Apple Pencil USB-C, so con
