MacBook vs. iPad for Professional Work
When should you choose an iPad over a MacBook, and what are the best ways to use them together for a seamless workflow?”
Design work is typically accomplished while you're seated at a desk. I think a desktop Mac would be more appropriate. Macs and iPads complement each other but it seems to me the majority of your time will be spent seated, whereas an iPad excels when you have to walk around with a device.
