I am using my 12.9” iPP as my only computer right now... long story - but I will make my final decision next week....

For most of the last month, I was connecting my iPP to my monitor via the hdmi dongle. Now it won’t charge at the same time and is even getting touchy with working at all. I do have a new 30w charger and cord from Apple.

Yesterday I remembered that I had my dad’s old apple tv. So I started using it again, since I was now charging my iPP.

With just the iPP, I find myself bending closer to read the small print. So then I end up with my shoulders and back sore and hurting. When I use the monitor - it is just so much more ergonomic for me.

Since this is my dad’s apple tv, I am wondering if anyone is using it with their iPP to read emails, surf the web etc? I also want to know if anyone uses a new apple tv? How about 4K? Does this change the size of the viewable screen on the monitor?
