Future Student Question: MacBook, iPad Pro, both or something else? in c/[email protected]

That’s a great point. The convenience of the iPad for most things is very high and it’s likely that I’d want to be home for any serious work instead of at school for extra hours.

Thank you!

True, I often forget about that option. Thank you!

That’s basically what I was thinking or the Smart Folio so I can flip it around. Being able to remote in should be viable for me with my home upload speeds.

Future Student Question: MacBook, iPad Pro, both or something else? (lemm.ee)
 

Presently I have a MacMini (M2) and iPad Air 4th Gen

I am a big fan of the iPad for working with GoodNotes and a few diagram programs. I recently used it for school but found myself wishing that I had access to microcontroller software, PLC software and generally a “desktop OS” instead of iPadOS.

I hate the idea of having two portable devices to carry around, but can’t decide if going with a MacBook is better than the iPad. Not all the courses I’ll take will require the MacBook and the iPad is great for working on documents and assignments with the pencil. That said, I find myself more and more wishing that the iPad series had a MacOS option.

Regardless, I am currently trying to sell the iPad Air and look at something with a bigger screen.

Incase it is a factor, I am looking at taking an industrial electrical diploma that works with electrical plant/grid design, motor controllers and plant management (in a nutshell).

I am interested in people’s thoughts, if they’re willing to share. I know that there is currently no ideal solution for me in the Apple scene at the moment, regarding one device that does it all.

Any way to get mental support through MSP? (counseling) in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

It seems like MSP doesn’t cover counselling, even with referral, but perhaps your spouse’s workplace offers something like Employee Assistance Program (EAP). Many jobs that I’ve had in BC that offer benefits also offered an EAP for their employees and spouse/dependents. They usually have a phone number that you can call to setup 5-10 free counselling sessions “per issue”. I’ve had them extend sessions beyond the limit before by calling back, but that is EAP dependent most likely.

EAP can offer other “extras” as well, but again depends on the package the workplace offers its employees.
