Now obviously the iPad screen isn’t as big as my monitor on my MacBook Air, but as a secondary monitor it’s practically perfect. This app definitely delivers that even on my older MacBook Air and iPad 3. Duet Display claims that the app delivers up to 60 frames per second with no lag. This is a fantastic app! It allows you to extend your desktop to your iPad or iPhone from you MacBook or MacBook Air. For most things it works fairly well, and I’ve resigned myself to the fact that this is how I work. So, I have to be clever with my workspaces and take full advantage of OS X’s multiple desktops. I have used MacBook Air with bigger monitors and that works well, but I no longer have an office with a desk set up and a monitor to sit down to. I maxed out the configuration to keep it as forward compatible as possible, and I love this laptop! It’s quick, powerful, starts up faster than any PC or iOS device, and is still going strong after a little more than three years. I bought my 13″ MacBook Air for the size, portability and the fact that i could use it on my lap without burning my legs… most of the time. Especially if, also like me, you are a 3D Artist and Graphic Designer.ĭesigners and artists need real estate when it comes to our screens… a lot of it. It’s not just because we like to gaze lovingly at our creations, because we do, but because it also affords us the ability to pull back and take in the big picture while still being able to access and use the plethora of tools, palettes, buttons, and menus that crowd our workspace. If you’re like me and do 99% of your work on a MacBook Air, you know that your somewhat diminutive screen doesn’t always provide as much usable real estate as you would like.
