>>> BUILD AN iPAD DESKTOP

A handful of accessories can help you close the gap to a MacBook, or even an iMac if you own a recent iPad. This can be tricky, because the ultimate price may exceed that of a new MacBook, but you will have the portability available to you

1 A MAGIC KEYBOARD

The Magic Keyboard is an expensive accessory, but the typing experience is superb and it gives you a trackpad while servicing as an adjustable stand.

2 A BIGGER SCREEN

A monitor like the Dell U2415 UltraSharp can be used with the iPad to increase the display size. It can make the iPad Pro or Air feel like an iMac.

3 FULL CONTROL

The Magic Trackpad 2 is ideal for precise control and input in a desktop situation. You’re likely to want to tap the iPad screen, so this should suffice.
