I’m Done with MacBooks ➝

Khoi Vinh:

To be clear, I don’t argue the fact that OS X is still the best platform for heavy duty work, and that it is likely to continue to be that for years if not decades. But it seems apparent to me that it’s at its most potent in its original form: on the desktop, where immensely powerful chips do best and battery life is not an issue. When I think about what I want to be using in the near term, I would much rather own a fast and fully stationary iMac and an iPad running a much more productivity-capable version of iOS, than just a MacBook.

This is exactly how I’ve been thinking lately. I just want the most powerful iMac I can afford and an iPad Air 2 — I have no need for a MacBook anymore.
