Mark O’Connor - I swapped my MacBook for an iPad+Linode

"I started this experiment because I fundamentally believe that most people
don’t want to rearrange windows, babysit their own general purpose comp-
uters or back up their data. Sooner or later, almost everyone will work like
this and I wanted a taste of what that might feel like. I expected to find so-
mething that didn’t work, but as the days turned into weeks and the weeks
gathered into a month, I found I hadn’t returned to my laptop even once.

I don’t miss the weight. I don’t miss the keyboard getting warm when I’m
compiling. I don’t miss its fragility, both physically and virtually. I don’t miss
running out of power. To my surprise, I find I am happy. Coding in the cloud
isn’t for everybody, but for my workflow it’s a perfect fit and I love it."

Već se raspravljalo, neki obožavaji iPad, a nekima je neupotrebljiv.
Sad, ako je netko uspio zamijeniti MB za iPad, tada i nije bog zna što pametno radio na MB, kao što pametno ne radi na iPadu. OK, možda ne u ovom slučaju. Ali, od jednog komada je napravio tri (punjač se ne računa). Od gotovine, dug. Linode je 20$/mj. + iPad.
Prije uzeti Air, nego ovu kombinaciju. Jedina prednost je možda baterija.

Zapravo je programiranje zadnja stvar koju bih očekivao da netko može raditi na iPadu. Zato mi je cijela stvar fascinantna.
