As a student, ipad pro 128gb would be enough?

Does the "i" in iPad stand for infertility?

For browsing memes, yes

It might actually be great if you have a powerful PC at home and connect to it remotely.

yes it will

@electrineer For math, algorithms and so on

I would never recommend Apple shit for students...
With Android you can even emulate Texas calculators, saving more money that a good Android tablet costs.
Also runs python quite well.
Apple? There might be solutions.... If you want to spend 5x more for the tablet, plus wayyyy less options in software.

There might be options... That aren't free. Because no one wants to pay... What is it, 150€ to post an app at the App store?

You can run VSC IDE through github on any machine which supports keyboard, so if you’re comfortable with the screen size of the iPad (you can always connect it to a bigger monitor, I think), you’re good to go!

BTW... Can you use a external keyboards with iPads?
That's a must for me when I dev in android.

Buy a used MacBook Pro and put boot camp or use VMs on it and call it a day. You still need a real computer. You might need Windows compatibility and you might need a Linux vm. Even for all their flaws and expensive repairs nobody is in the same ballpark as mac for a non gaming laptop experience.

128gb is plenty, if you use cloud storage and GitHub / GitLab for code then you'll be able to maintain space.

For dev purposes, it's not the best device but there's usually ways around that depending on what you're working with.

@GyroGearloose yes, including Bluetooth keyboards.

I just remembered:

“What’s a computer?” - Apple, for some reason.

@GyroGearloose yes just standard Bluetooth keyboard will be fine, mice too though iPadOS treats the mouse pointer like a touch input so don't think it would be completely like a PC.

Yes. I get by with 64 on a phone where I have a bit of recorded video etc.

You'll likely have some apps which shockingly eat up around a GB each.

My WhatsApp uses 1.3 GB - just old media

GarageBand (never even used it) takes 1.6GB

A game like Hearthstone is close to 2GB

Even my reddit app is close to a gig

But most apps do way less. And most people don't even use 100 apps.

@jiraTicket how the hell can reddit take a gig? I thought their website was shitty but the app sounds even worse then.

@electrineer I suspect it's way smaller on initial install but will build a huge cache over time - perhaps for a little bit of offline access. (Unclear why it would be so large though, as there's not really full offline access to comments etc - just some original posts)
