I’m thinking about getting an iPad to replace my laptop for traveling.
Most of the stuff that I need to do is in the browser, so no concerns there, but I do a bit of photo editing when I am traveling.
I would need to import photos from my camera/card reader to the iPad’s storage, and then move them over to an external SSD.
I have heard that the iPads, even with the M* chips have had sub USB2 write speeds in some benchmarks. Obviously this could be a PITA if I had to move a large number of photos…
If you want, I can give it a go on 11 inch 4th Gen iPad Pro, spec says M2 and Thunderbolt/USB4.
I use it at work, but never really tried moving any significant amount of data around, just small 3D/CAD files.
Not sure what you need to do, but it can be a pain in the butt - especially Safari tends to make everything huge and sometimes borderline unusable. Maybe try it out if you can.
Nothing happened to Google, smartass. Have you ever heard of a company lying about the performance as it relates to actual real-world performance? Do you just trust the marketing literature of every product you buy?
