Why are they killing the desktop? I cant work from an ipad or a laptop and I need multiple monitors for my work flow. Do people not have jobs anymore where they need a computer?

I work just fine with a laptop for everything. But iPads are total garbage and Apple would like to try to convince you otherwise.

>Why are they killing the desktop?
Because the casual users are on smartphones, tablets and occasionally laptops.
>I cant work from an ipad or a laptop and I need multiple monitors for my work flow.
You're a spoiled little shit is what you are. If you ever had more than one monitor, you'll never realize you always wanted more than one monitor.
>Do people not have jobs anymore where they need a computer?
People who have jobs that require an actual desktop computers get them paid for by their employer, who buys workstations, not consumer-grade shit desktops.

>I need multiple monitors for my work flow.

Get a docking station for your laptop then.

I disagree. iPads are not total garbage.

You can basically replace a laptop with it when you are a normal user. Yeah, if you do more than casual stuff you will need something else, but for the average user the iPad is perfect.

Didn't you watch the commercial? Its so you can use your ipad in a tree.
Because you go sit in trees often and always have enough battery for such things.

Yes, but Sup Forums is not a board for people who are "average users", so this comment is irrelevant. None of us here are normies.

So why are you guys pissed off when you are not the target consumer of the iPad?

You dock your laptop to external monitors/keyboards/mice you fucking retard. That is how most programmers work. If you need a desktop as a professional, you are probably in some extreme minority. Really heavy work loads get outsourced to dedicated servers.

The ipad is not just for average users. The majority of the people here aren't just not normies, they are tinkerers and young and not even professionals. Apple are morphing the ipad into a proper computer slowly. It isn't there yet, but it will get there.

Yeah, this is gonna replace real desktops, I'm sure

Make your own desktop OP. Why do you need a pricey pre-built machine?

>lots of made up stuff from kid who read things

You can write a c app for linux on ipad pro if you want. Ssh to linux server and use vim.

>c app
numale detected

>a computer
What's a computer?

They're not, it's a marketing gimmick.
The average person doesn't have much need for more than an ipad

>ssh and vim on an ipad are just as good as a fully functioning ide
>implying he didn't mean "develop an app for the ipad"
>saying it's all made up while addressing a single point with a barely valid argument
An apple shill has defended this

You cannot use the ipad to make ipad apps. You have to use xcode and pay apple and develop on a macbook or whatever.

So you and him are both full of shit.

>>ssh and vim on an ipad are just as good as a fully functioning ide

Also I didn't imply any of that. I just gave a simple example of something it can do that is more professional than consumer oriented. You just read into it to suit your argument.

>you cannot use the ipad to make ipad apps
That was the fucking point. In fact, you cannot use an ipad to create anything better than a picture of your bloody face
So change your example to something I can't easily turn against you. Because I swear to god that noone ever will think
>oh boy, our developers sure will be productive when they ssh into our unix server with their fucking ipads instead of doing stuff on a normal pc
Also none of you disproved any of my other arguments

Shes cute

no she's not

>That was the fucking point. In fact, you cannot use an ipad to create anything better than a picture of your bloody face

You can draw things in it, including diagrams of your new inventions, etc. How is that not professional? My point was that it is heading towards being more powerful. os11 made it more powerful with multitasking, os12 will make it more powerful again.

Soon you will be able to dock it to an external monitor and it will just be the same as using your normal pc to do whatever.

>>oh boy, our developers sure will be productive when they ssh into our unix server with their fucking ipads instead of doing stuff on a normal pc

That is how many programmers actually work. That picture of Jeff Dean gets put up a lot. He is using emacs. You can literally use it over ssh like many tech companies require you to do as they don't want code on your personal computer.

Then all that is left is docking it with external monitor and keyboard. You are just a dumb Sup Forums kid who thinks it is cool to hate apple. Boring.

>I need multiple monitors for my work flow.
You can do that with a laptop though.

The fuck are you talking about? They're doing a brand new Mac mini this year (finally) and they're merging the iMac and Mac Pro lines into the iMac Pro which will have a thunderbolt port for daisychaining extra displays. Just because they tried to be "clever" with their advertising to target this generation of spoiled, entitled shitty children doesn't mean they're killing off their desktop machines. Besides, even if they did you could always just not buy Apple.

>use laptop and drawing tablet
>can draw with any software you want
>save anywhere you like
>make it how you want it to be
While on the ipad
>can't use anything apple doesn't like
>developers have to give a big cut of profits to them
>le cloud meme that is pretty much illegal in places that are not burgerland because you have to make sure data doesn't get stolen and you can't in the cloud and the nsa just around the corner
>its basically censorship
So literally nothing wrong with that according to you? Your argument is pretty much
>yeah, it's is shit and you have to accept all those limitations, but I'm sure the next update will make it slightly less shittier
>while not realizing its still a piece of crap
The last sentences are pretty much just damage control
>implying any serious, profit oriented software company makes people actually work with emacs and vim only
>implying Jeff dean isn't an autist who literally represents 0.001% of all programmers world wide
I was employed at 3 different, middle class, respectable places and none of them even considered something like that. I've also talked to people at those places, most of them were much older than me. Literally noone ever heard of a cli editor as a serious alternative to a fully blown ide.

I think I'll just give up. I never thought paid shills where real, but I refuse to believe a single person can be as dumb and in denial as you. Have fun with your 5 rupees for making those posts and buy some extra sharp curry or something

Laptop/tablet = costs more and is harder to repair

> Making up stuff to shit your pants about

nobody is coming after your desktop retard

>I was employed at 3 different, middle class, respectable places

None of them tech companies. Linus is an autist too. The best programmers are autists. Your corporate drones will need all the help they can get with their IDE auto-suggesting everything to them.

That is great, you can list a bunch of criticisms of an ipad. Genius. Here is your Sup Forums card for being able to criticize an Apple product. It shows elite technical abilities.

We can all list criticisms of every device. You just said you now need two devices, a drawing tablet and a laptop. There, I made a criticism of your bullshit setup. Amazing.....

I don't like that cloud file bullshit either, but it won't necessarily always be like that. My point is that it is evolving towards being able to do things like use actual local files. Anyone can criticize a product half-way through its evolution. It isn't impressive.

All the other hybrid computers are shitty. Just try them. I can make a list a mile long of those devices. Why are you singling out Apple? For your Sup Forums card, that is all.

t. google shill

>Why are they killing the desktop?
Because the desktop, and PC in general, is far too dangerously versatile for ordinary consumers to be allowed to continue using it, even for work purposes.

It allows you to make bit-for-bit perfect copies of literally any media.
It lets you anonymize yourself on the Internet and have truly free speech.
It gives you pure calculation horsepower that was once provided by an entire industry.

Not him, but all of his points still stand...

Yeah they do, they just don't contribute to the debate.

My statement: ipad pro can be used for professional things and will be used for more and more things as ios becomes more like a regular os.

his point: why would I use an ipad when I can use two devices and some software that isn't on ipad

His point has nothing to do with anything. If I want to use the software available on the ipad, I don't care about the "other" software. Also two devices? Is he arguing with me or against me. ipad pro has 120hz refresh rate and excellent colours, etc, which drawing tablet is better?

He was talking about writing apps for the iPad on a computer, not writing "Linux apps" on the iPad. Having said that, "you can use your device to write programs, you just need an additional computer" is not an argument.

iPhones and Androids are computers now.

It will only get there when it will have a mouse, a keyboard, and privileges that let you arbitrarily modify your system, i.e. never.

>Soon you will be able to dock it to an external monitor and it will just be the same as using your normal pc to do whatever.
You could also do that with a phone, and a phone is much smaller so it would make a lot more sense.

Phones also aren't necessarily cucked by apple, so there's that

normies never used their computers for anything but videos/porn, websurfing/memes, social media and shopping. they can do all that on their phones now, which is why they spend every fucking minute with their face glued to it(to the detriment of the rest of us). there's more them then us who actually do shit with technology.
>Do people not have jobs anymore where they need a computer?
no and you know this. most jobs are dumb labor/service jobs that require very little computer use at all..

>killing the desktop

never going to happen

Well that's be fuccing retarded, I don't need to move my workstation in the bathroom or kitchen. I need it at a stable place with plenty of space, and desktops are perfect for that.

What's a computer?

>cucked

oh, there's that FUCKING word again. Are they jewish, too?

How can you do any real work without a fucking trackpad or mouse?

Eat y'self fitter

>apple
>caring about desktops
