and the noise drives me crazy so I need an alternative.īecause there's not much to see in the iPadOS App Store when you are looking for coding software, I decided to buy a used, fanless Surface Pro (5) from eBay and use that instead. Currently I am doing this with my MacBook Pro i7, which is both super fast and noisy. I was looking into getting an iPad Pro myself, mainly for doing some code in the early hours, sitting in the couch with my dog. The easiest way to enable coding and lots of other 'traditional computer stuff' on an iPad, is not running it directly, but installing a remote access app and connect to your Mac or PC at home through it, and get stuff done that way.įor Windows I would recommend Microsoft Remote Desktop, which is free and has awesome apps for Windows, macOS, iOS and iPadOS.įor Macintosh, the easiest way without fiddling with IP addresses and VNC clients, is to install TeamViewer on it as a server on your Mac or PC at home (use a decent password please), and connect to it with the TeamViewer app on your iPad.
There is currently no way of running Visual Studio Code directly on your iPad Pro. You can install most Windows apps on them (like Visual Studio), use a keyboard and mouse, or use touch and the Surface Pen, Dial, etc. Microsoft Surface computers are different - they may have a tablet form factor, but they have Intel processors and run a full version of Windows in essence they are thin, light laptops without a built-in keyboard. (Some apps support keyboard shortcuts with external keyboards, but not all.) so all software must be designed for touch interaction only.
iOS has no support for mice or other traditional pointing devices, etc. All software on iOS devices is distributed by the App Store exclusively. It does not have a traditional file system like a desktop computer, so you cannot download. While they share substantial amounts of code under the hood, iOS is tailored for Apple’s phones and tablets.
Unfortunately no, because iOS - the operating system on iPads and iPhones - is not the same as macOS (formerly known as Mac OS X), the operating system for MacBooks, iMacs and Mac Pro computers.
