So I'm 100% sure I'll be replacing my early 2013 MacBook Pro and late 2015 Apple iMac with a 2018 Apple iPad Pro later next year. Considering I only write this blog, visit a few websites, edit photos and videos on my laptop and PC, I'm pretty sure the 2018 Apple iPad can handle all of my needs. I visit maybe 10 websites that I can use Safari on. I'll need an FTP client upload my videos and photos to sites like Shutterstock, Pond5 and Storyblocks.
I want to get the 12.9" with the 1TB HD and the 6GB of RAM model. Go big or go home as they say. I don't who "they" are but "they" are right. From the benchmarks that I've been seeing on Youtube videos, the 12.9" iPad outperforms both of my computers by a huge margin. The only thing I'm worried about is space because I do shoot a lot of photos and videos. I'm sure I can find a work around to upload my raw files to an external hard drive. Apple will have to give the iPad some support for external hard drives. I can use the Apple Pencil 2 as a mouse. iOS still has to be upgraded to access a better file system.
I will also be using an Apple iPhone for the foreseeable future. As much as I like Android phones, the Apple ecosystem is much better. I find the apps in the Apple ecosystem are much better built and provide much more enjoyment and entertainment. Youtube, Netflix are my go to media consumption apps. I use a few astronomy apps such as Star Walk 2, PolarAlign, Solar Walk to name a few. There are a few apps I would like to get once I buy the iPad such as Affinity Photo for the iPad and Luma Fusio to edit my footage to upload to my micro stock sites.
All in all I think I'll get the Apple iPad in March of 2019 once I get enough money saved up.
