I’ve been iPP only for several years, and realized there are just some things I can’t do (very few, but it’s a few that do matter to me). Try some things out and play around a little, your workflow will come to you. Plus, I get to work on and enjoy both platforms. So overall, a hybrid lifestyle is great, and quite efficient from my perspective.

When on the road, more often than not I work solely on the Air 3, with the occasional need for the MBP where I need Windows resources (we develop micro-based products using tools that only support Windows). I’ll often spend half the day at work on the Air 3 before moving to the MBP to do some work that requires a Windows VM, including some development, or some touch-ups on Office docs. When at the office or traveling, I carry the MBP and my new Air 3 with SKB (and Pencil, that I share between the two iPads). This includes remote support with MS RDP and Teamviewer. anything that doesn’t require a desktop version.

I’ve got an original 12.9" Pro with SKB, that hangs around the house and is the general workhorse for, let’s call it, general work, I.e.

It’ll take another couple of minutes once there and I’ll update Confluence once more.nice, clean and efficient. So I saved it on in a dedicated “share” folder I have on Dropbox and I’ll complete the edit when next on my MBP. One can’t (at least I don’t know how to) access custom doc properties to update a field and I’m not 100% if I can save as. dotx file from our Confluence server to my 12.9 and proceeded to carry out edits on it, required for the new version. A good example is what I did last night: I downloaded a. I could leave a Mini running permanently so I could remote in, but it seems just so inefficient. When I hit the iOS app version limitations in Office for example, I save the document on Dropbox or iCloud and complete the job on my MBP (2018, keyboard still fine ). You have an iPad, give your proposed setup some testing - you probably don’t have the Citrix Mouse, but some testing will give you a good idea of what the limitations are (besides which, support for a mouse in iOS is rumoured, so I would hold out on an expensive Citrix mouse).Īs can be seen above, I’ve been unable to go 100% iPad. I think the people above have presented the pros and cons of the remote approach and you have pretty much defined what’s non-negotiable in your latest post. I also appreciated the ability to work on a video and then spin it off to render and switch back to working locally on my iPad until the render was completed. Responsiveness was actually quite good and I was able to perform detailed graphic work on my iMac. Using that combo I was able to remotely access my iMac (located in my home office). and works well.įor a season or two, my 12.9 iPad Pro + ASK + Citrix X1 mouse DID INDEED replace my Macbook Air. But if you will be using this combination in an area with a predictable and consistently good connection, it most definitely works. If the network was spotty, it would be frustrating as the link between systems would temporary freeze or stutter.

Having said that, the experience is highly dependent upon the availability and performance of the network connection. That was when I'd remote into my iMac and perform the advanced task there and when finished, return to working on the document on the iPad.

Other times, I'd start some documentation on my iPad (using Pages) but then run into the limitations of the iOS version of Pages. Click to expand.For a season or two, my 12.9 iPad Pro + ASK + Citrix X1 mouse DID INDEED replace my Macbook Air.
