I forget, I may have already told you about this, so sorry if I did and forgot, but I think I recall there being an accessibility setting for scroll sensitivity on an external mouse. I don’t know if that would help or not, but figured it might be helpful to you. 🙂👍🏻
I don’t know about @Ludatyk but I use the Magic Trackpad 3 (black) when I use my iPad Pro in a desktop configuration. I tried the magic mouse, and the Logitech MX Anywhere 3 mouse, and I just can’t use a mouse with my iPad. The trackpad just feels natural controlling a touch device with all the touch gestures intact. For mobile use, I use the Logitech Combo Touch keyboard case.
Use the trackpad with the Magic Keyboard... previously used the Magic Mouse but preferred having gestures controls on the trackpad.
My wife does the heavy lifting on her IPP m1 with a Magic Keyboard. The M365 apps are installed, but they are missing some desktop features. So at times a proper full featured operating system is needed. Her trusty windows laptop is slowing dying, so we bought the Neo. It’s a paradigm shift from windows but the Neo hits that sweet spot of price and value.
I know it isn’t a perfect replacement for multiple user profiles, but one thing you could do is set up a focus mode with a custom Home Screen that has apps you want for your kids. And you can password protect apps, so you could password protect apps you don’t want kids to open. Like I said, it isn’t perfect, but that may be helpful for you. I do agree, it would be nice for some to have multiple user profiles. I personally don’t need it, but I understand why others would like it. 👍🏻
Not having looked at it, but maybe you could even set it up with automations to switch users and have it need a password per user…
I think you probably would. I’d say try it out and see what you think. 🙂👍🏻
The 11” with the MKB is heavier than you’d think but it is very quick to pull out, do something, and put away again. It also fits in some pretty inconspicuous bags compared to even the 13” MBA so you’re not lugging a backpack around. This isn’t exactly the one I use but it’s from the same company and is the same size:
Do not. iPad is not a replacement for mac. Your workflow will be constantly hindered by iPadOS in which even simple operations with files require mutilple clicks, touches and whatever else.
I don't agree with this at all. The files managment in iPadOS 26 is very similar to a mac now. So if he has to do multiple clicks, touches etc on the iPad, he would do the same thing on the Mac.
Be careful, you do not speak for everyone. I use an iPad exclusively now, and don’t have the issues you describe here. In fact, I don’t have any issues at all. It’s a little different, but that doesn’t make it worse than Mac and I find it better in some ways.
Majority of users know that iPadOS is not for professional work in any way or quality except maybe for reading PDFs or replying emails. If that OS is fine for you, ok no problems. And yes, if you don't think so, watch any Youtube review of iPadOS by people who tried to do some work on it. Most recognize its limitations very, very well.
There are also may YouTubers who DO use the iPad as their only device for professional work. Just remember Youtube feeds you what you look for and watch. So probably you are only getting the negative videos because thats the first couple you watched.
We are not all the same. For that reason, you can’t throw a blanket over us all and tell us what works and what doesn’t. As far as YouTube, it’s so diluted with wanna be’s, pretenders, and idiocy that it has lost all credibility.
Exactly. Not one thing that is sold today is for everybody except probably water, and that's available for free. I use windows mostly, I do have apple products, but I prefer my windows environment, as does my wife. We have tried Apple Pc's on 3 previous occassions and moved back to windows and lost money on our apple stuff.
