Is this supposed to illustrate how terrible Mac font rendering is? Looks like someone smeared the letters. Focusing on readability instead of exact shapes is the right move for screen font rendering.

this is some world class revisionism lol

So I’m sort of previewing 2019 spending and I’m wondering if I couldn’t just switch over to an iPad. Like: if I need an actual windows desktop I could just spin one up in Azure and RDP to it, right? What do I actually *need* a local PC for?

Really depends on what you use your PC for bud. If it's just FB and email and MS Word, an iPad is enough I guess.

As an example: if you're editing photos from a real camera, it'll be tough to even import them onto the iPad.

eh, idk. gf has a nice underwater camera setup; iPad Pro + SD card reader she can plug into iPad + Lightroom means she can start editing almost immediately after a dive.

Yeah, it's just that I've read mixed reviews about the SD card reader setup. Does the iPad/iPad Pro handle RAW file formats okay?

ya RAW support is no problem - I’m honestly kinda impressed it works as well as it does. can’t speak to the card reader myself, but hers is a Taobao special and it works fine.

I bought an iPad pro this year, unplugged my MacBook and haven't used it since. I do all my work on the iPad and it's great. for any long typing I have a Bluetooth keyboard but I rarely use it. battery life is insane. multitasking is great. there's some things you have to learn and some things are slower and some are faster so it evens out. my friend with a surface hates it and it's become unusable. he's switching to an iPad too.

*I have an old Mac set up as a Plex server so I occasionally remote into it but I don't use it for much else

in a hypothetical parallel universe where a cheap mac exists maybe

still, true, you either swear off computers entirely and move into the woods, or you have an actual pc, there is no tablet middle ground

at least edge and ie get things like 601 vs 709 and full vs standard color space/range right, unlike anything based on chromium/mozilla. safari fixed color handling a matter of months ago in the source tree. if you want to laugh/cry, dig though years and years of chromium/mozilla bug tickets where some pro color guys calls them out on their poo poo, but some random dev goes "looks good to me" and closes the ticket.

seriously, somebody fix this poo poo.
