Update on working with an iPad Pro

Back in November 2016 I wrote about my decision to work with an 9,7" iPad Pro exclusively. I stopped using any other computer, sold all my Mac equipment and only kept the accompanying Apple Watch and iPhone. I opted for a Logitech CREATE keyboard and the Apple Pencil and hoped that this step might change my entire tech outfit.
I kept using this setup for about 9 months and was quite satisfied with the iPad Pro's performance even under advanced workloads. Over the last months I traveled quite a lot and considered the iPad Pro a tolerable load despite the bulky keyboard enclosure. It truly was a glimpse at the post-pc era and almost felt like I could finally make it happen.
Still I decided to sell the iPad Pro and go back to working with a regular Mac. I did a 2 week test run with Apple's 12" Macbook (before the hardware update announced during WWDC 2017) and although I really like the form factor and rosé gold option, the performance was rather disappointing. So in the end, I ended up were my journey began, with a 13" Macbook Pro.
So why you ask? Find out.
