I decided to share this thoughts, cause of purchasing new iPad pro. I was thinking for last few years, do I really need an iPad? I used to think that it’s completely useless device. If I have MacBook as main working machine and iPhone as secondary/helper. I’m going to talk about this device from programmer/manager perspective.
Zoom, right?
MacBook has the shittiest camera on the market, for some of my coworkers it doesn’t sound as disadvantage, because they simply don’t use camera for syncs and meetings. True for programmers who sit in the most dark corner of the room. But for me it’s important to clearly see the person to whom I’m talking to. Hope I’m not only one who has this preferences. iPad has brilliant front camera for that kind of use and you can plug and play it to your zoom or any other conference apps. While you on the meeting via your iPad you can use your main laptop without any losses and slow downs. I hate how zoom opens on MacBook, it crashes time to time, on other hand on iPad I didn’t have such an experience - one tap and you online. If you use g-calendar + zoom, jitsi or any other meeting tools you can jump to the sync with one single tap, by moving your calendar to “Today View”.
