Pending OS updates slowing down the browser is exactly the type of thing that makes me want to use my Windows computer less often. The iPad has never done such a thing, and this is the old version of the least capable model!
@simonwoods Even as Apple has let their software standards get flabby, they are still often better than those of much of the computing world.
I still long for the days of Snow Leopard’s high revision numbers though. 💔
@Bruce I'm pretty confident I could get by with a lot of my work on an iPad Pro but don't have any hard evidence to even indicate whether the switching costs to a Mac are worth it. There's a chance I could upgrade my iPad, my phone, and just keep the Windows machine for certain kinds of work. Then, I guess in the future if the PC craps out and the Mac is still necessary for certain types of work, I would take a look at the available Macs.
@simonwoods I can see that. I switched over in the age of XP and Jaguar (iBook G3, The Smell-tastic Version, baby!), so I paid the switching costs long ago.
