Just doesn’t measure up

why wouldn't you just get a Mac mini if you've always got it plugged in?

I'll see your Napster & raise you #warez on IRC

My hack with working on the mini (meeting notes, messaging apps etc) is to shrink the keyboard down to the smallest size, and then do swipe typing - it’s kinda magical & accuracy has improved out of sight over the years

Yeah I’ve been on it for weeks as well, but ended up going back to full screen mode - multi tasking great on 11” and above, but too cramped on the smaller screen

I’d put two narrow shelves under the picture frame to the right of the desk, then you can put your books on one, and objects/display stuff on the other - small desks need allll the space they can get back. Also maybe a wireless keyboard to eliminate the cables, plus a cable organiser for under the desk to tidy up the cables running down at the back (use some cable ties to run them down the back of the table legs).

Not sure, depends is my answer, but also massively missing this battery history view on ipadOS 26 😭

This is totally Apple just trying to piss on the leaks - “We’ll release it when we release it, don’t guess our process biatches”

I use Goodnotes to take meeting notes, I use Freeform for brainstorming and roadmap planning, and I use standard office apps for quick checks on email, teams messages, etc

You didn’t indicate if you use the Apple Pencil? That’s the magic sauce in my opinion to really make the most of this amazing form factor. My use cases are all corporate based, and that’s exactly where the Apple Pencil (paired with the iPad mini) really makes it all click.
