Best platform for full BG1/BG2 play through
![icthy](https://forums.beamdog.com/applications/dashboard/design/images/defaulticon.png)
I'm a new player, and I've been wanting to play through the BG series games for a long time now. I'm debating whether I should play the games on an ipad or a mac, and I'm curious if anyone has any strong preferences for either. Also, can I transfer saved games between the two platforms?

I play my BG Series on a iPhone 6s. It runs smoothly and without major glitches.
Save games can be transferred, but there are issues with NPC stats and gear when transferring from BG to SoD. And a HP glitch is present if you import your save game from SoD to BG2.
Transferring your character causes no problems, but the transition between SoD and BG1 becomes a bit odd..
The iOS version is “modable” with some effort

But mods are probably not first on your agenda.
Overall a very recommendable experience and extremely convenient.
The games runs smoothly on Mac as well afaik - but there have been posted reports of some bugs on new Mac versions due to Mac software (but with workarounds afaik https://forums.beamdog.com/discussion/77448/new-mac-os-will-no-longer-launch-bg2ee). No problems when transferring in between games.
Definitely enjoyable, and an easy solution for starters as well. But less convenient
