Big Screen Evolution

I was catching up on some old Mac Power Users episodes this weekend while mowing my lawn, and learned from Stephen Hackett that I am apparently a card-carrying member of the “Big Screen Club.” As an Apple user I’ve migrated to the iPhone XS Max, the 12.9” iPad Pro and have owned a 27” iMac as my main machine for nearly a decade. Combine these with my recent 32-button Stream Deck XL and the addition of a reference monitor to Studio AB, and I appear to have displayed a preference for larger sized workspaces as all of these (monitor excluded, I suppose) are the largest sizes of their product families.

I remember I was recently listening to Ali Abdaal discuss how he tries to direct as many activities as he can to his home machine, including text messages, because his typing speed is lightning fast on his keyboard. I guess I feel the same way about these larger spaces. Though, I’ll be the first to jump if the iPad is ever released in an even larger form, as I would love a 16+ inch version for score reading specifically. In the meantime, I’ve just started hooking mine up to a 32” TV…
