If you are handling huge files professionally, you will still be running Photoshop on X86 on desktops.
This post suggests that Photoshop CC on iOS cannot handle "huge files professionally". False. It can, and has (during a live stream, no less). For most projects, Photoshop CC on iOS will have no problems working.
Come on man. Unless Adobe starts to knee cap X86 versions, 100+W X86 CPU will cream 15W A12X one any day.
This omits Adobe Sensei functionality, which is being used more and more by Adobe to offload computational tasks to cloud computing, thus allowing under powered devices to still be feature complete. You also have not used Photoshop CC on iOS, so I'm not sure how you know, definitively, what it can and cannot do comparatively to Desktops, or what those speed comparisons are. You also don't know the differences in memory management or program overhead, and how certain features will work between the two versions. This is a baseless assumption, at best, on your part.
Objectively, a powerful desktop will always be the most powerful and flexible option. However, that does not mean that they are not at all comparable in functionality or capability for most tasks, just that a desktop workstation can handle more heavy lifting for very specific tasks and situations. Until we have side by side comparisons for both under the same workload conditions, it is not possible to make a broad judgement about either software solution.
For Windows, you have option of single 2 in 1 mobile device.
Pushing Windows, strangely omitting that most people looking at getting an iPad Pro likely already have a desktop workstation, so pushing a 2 in 1 as a work station seems strange, and also seems very intentional in a thread about iPads.
What are you, using it in your arm? Just use Windows 10 like Windows 10. No need to use it as a touch only OS lol.
Projecting your experience on other users to denigrate their preferences / experiences. It still stands to reason that Windows 10 is objectively not optimized for a touch interface, so a user preferring a touch interface would obviously be more at home on an OS designed with a native touch UI. Your response reflects your own preferences, not what the user was interested in discussing.
So use the damn pen instead of a mouse. I don't get the issue. Do you also complain about using Cintiq on Windows 10 and OSX? lol
Excuses for Windows, discarding user opinion. "Don't get the issue" doesn't resolve the users poor experience, just puts yourself on a pedestal.
I'm an industrial designer so I use Photoshop differently than you do. However, I have friends who do large scale graphics so I know the requirements of say doing 12 feet tall poster or something of that scale. They all use desktops to do their jobs. Many now use iMacs and iMac Pros but those are still desktops with capability for 64GB of RAM or more.
You know the requirements, yet completely omit that a project like this is not only possible on the new iPad Pros, but in most cases, exceptionally easy (no lag, responsive, etc).
So when you say you aren't in here being dishonest or arguing in bad faith, you'll have to excuse me while I roll my eyes and call you for your bullshit. Similarly to the last thread, I'm done with the conversation because you aren't trying to have one. You're trying to push your own preferred platforms over others, while discounting user experiences and omitting key information to give your own positions more slant.
