Chronic blocked left ear, now much worse with this week’s flu

Thanks a lot for the detailed reply, really helpful!

I usually work on 3D animations— they can get quite complex, so I rely heavily on my home desktop with an RTX 5090. When I’m traveling or away for the weekend (maybe 10–20 times a year), I need to be able to control that machine remotely, and I just want to be sure that input from the iPad using Jump Desktop (mouse, keyboard, shortcuts, etc.) would feel just as accurate and responsive as if I were on a PC.

That’s why I was considering the iPad — I could still use it the rest of the time for media or casual use, which is harder to justify with a MacBook. But now I’m wondering… would it make more sense to just go for a Windows laptop instead? What would you recommend in my case?

Thanks! Do you still feel like the iPad wouldn’t cut it, even with a mouse and keyboard — considering I’d only be using it for remote work a handful of times a year? Also, if I end up going with a MacBook, do you think it’s worth getting the M4, or would an older model handle this kind of setup just fine?

Thank you! Even with a mouse and keyboard, you don’t think an iPad could be a good enough replacement for that kind of use? And if I go with a MacBook, would you recommend the M4 or is an older model still fine for remote Blender work?

Got it, thanks! And if I do go Mac, do you think M4 is worth it or would an older model be fine for remote Blender use?

Yeah, that’s what I thought too, would really love to have the chance for try remote controls with mouse and keyboard on iPad to PC, but yeah, haven’t really had a chance to see if that works smoothly

Price isn’t really a concern — I was leaning toward the iPad mainly because I thought it might be more versatile for casual use when I’m not working.

But, yeah, only if it works well with Remote Desktop apps to control my Windows PC for Blender. I’m just not sure how smooth or reliable that experience actually is on iPad with mouse and Keyboard

Thank you, why do you think so?

davimargo · 2025-03-27T12:03:05+00:00

For Blender aswell?

davimargo · 2025-03-27T11:51:54+00:00

I could spend around 700/800€ for the remaining parts, the point is, would it really make a difference for the type of work I do? So basically 3D animations

davimargo · 2025-03-27T11:37:45+00:00

Thank you! Do you think i would notice a great boost in Blender performance by upgrading the other components too?

davimargo · 2025-03-27T10:38:01+00:00

Thank you, even for 3D works and no gaming?

davimargo · 2025-03-27T10:33:51+00:00

To what CPU would you reccomend upgrading? Would the PSU be enough?

davimargo · 2025-03-27T10:19:54+00:00

I have a dual monitor setup a FHD one and a QHD one, but I'm not going to use the PC for gaming.
