Wes Hilliard is an Assistant Editor for Apple Insider and the Co-host of the Apple Insider Podcast. Wes began his journey of using the iPad as his primary computer in 2019 and spent two years exclusively relying on the iPad. He gave the 14” M1 MacBook Pro a try but found it to be overkill, opting to return to the iPad as his primary computer. In this episode, we delve into that journey, exploring the accessories he uses with the iPad and the apps he relies on for his work at Apple Insider. We also extensively discuss his experiments with game streaming using Camo on the iPad. Wes is also a fan of the iPad mini, and discuss what role that iPad has alongside the iPad Pro.
