For me, the killer app for me has been sidecar… I work from home, and like to work outside in the summer. I’ve been using my MacBook Pro and my iPad as a second display via sidecar.

One unadvertised feature of this is that you can use the pencil as a mouse on your Mac in this configuration, which is handy for virtual whiteboard type stuff on your Mac where you’d normally be stuck with a mouse.




That’s nice as a bonus, but an iPad is small and rather expensive to use primarily as a monitor — you can get a portable 15” touchscreen for €120.


being stuck with a mouse on macos is more of an apple problem. things like the surface pro have been around for a decade at least
