For me, ipad 12.9 is just perfect size for laptop replacement. I use my ipad every single day 6-7 hours for my works. Completely leave my laptop or computer to perform my daily job.

I got my Apple Pencil 2 this morning.
No regret of getting this pencil, it really work like a real pencil for me.

Now i can do presentation and note keeping all with my ipad pro.
Save paper and note will never missing ...

Yes and old notes which are useless can be deleted without wasting papers

I think he’s referring to the iPadOS itself. Not the price or particular model of iPad. Can’t seem to find a good fit or interaction between iPadOS and MacOS.
But then you are right iPad Air is still a amazing machine!

To me i just store any file in iCloud, so can switch between mac and ipad anytime.. 1 thing tho, ipad so quick to use.. both my imac and macbook are getting slow and laggy, hence i would use ipad except for desktop type software requirements.. i know my imac and macbook are long due to be updated, but i just refused to spend too much money nowadays for upgrade. My macbook pro 15” was bought in 2013 and imac 2014.. lol.. i bought macbook 12” in 2017 but sold, coz i just feel apple are being too stingy on mac line, by putting minimal hardware but charging high price, while for higher hardware spec need to break banks to buy Tbh ipad is where i feel apple being quite generous, priced decently for a device can be used for professional purposes. Until recently when i see the price for its keyboard.. ayam angry

But i still want to buy the keyboard for the sake of replacing my macbook

My imac is 2015 or 2016 model .. cant really remember but Apple really good by slowing down old machines. This iMac if I restart, it takes about 10-15 minutes before it fully able to run ..

True bro.. sometime it gets stuck just by opening Microsoft words, and need to force quit it!

I’m tired of charging ipad for too long, so i pulled trigger on this Aukey charger.

Received just now and tested. I can see about 10% battery charged in few minutes. Confirm fast charge no bullshit .. bought at RM169, USB-C to C cable included in the box, quite a nice price huh?

reminder: unless you intend to upgrade your ipad every year or so, stay away from fast charger.

hmm maybe.. but the report is for Oppo VOOC fast charging, 40w.

While ipad is using standard USB-C power delivery, takes max of 35w (usually lower, around 30w). i think we can't imply the Oppo report directly on ipad. anyway, the rule of thumb for battery degradation is the charge cycles, means how many times it has reached full charge cycles. put smatphone/ tablet aside, laptop has been using high capacity charging for long time, even the macbook itself. the charge cycles contributed to the battery health status. huawei and oppo fast charging technology is quite different, at some extend i would say experimental

in terms of battery health, i think there's no particular brand involved. one of the worst enemy for battery is heat. it degrades the holding capacity of a battery, and fast charging certainly generate huge amount of heat in the process.

If that is the case, then most current smartphones is at peril.. note 10, s20, huawei p40 and so on, all fast charger provided in box

Maybe above 40w is overkill, or too fast charge vs not quite big battery, no good. But this ipad is 7800+mah battery capacity, i think this ipad is better chance than smartphones. I did check just now while charging, I didn’t feel too much extra heat compared to using its stock charger.

I recently bought usb-c 100w cable. Head or adaptor i will use standard apple. Problem as well?

100watt cable? I don’t understand what u mean bro

You were talking about 35-40w. I bought this cable 100w.

This doesn’t effect anything bro. Are you seriously asking this or just joking? Lol

Im serious bro .. haha .. when you talking about fast charging cable, 35-40w, i was thinking i bought 100w one from link i given above ..

Haha.. ok2.. but actually i was talking about fast charger, not cable

Well, cable is just like a pipe, to deliver current from charger to your phone. The larger the pipe, more water can flow thru, can say like that la.. I think when the seller put 100w inthe title there, simply means the cable capable to deliver high current. Well there are some cheap crap cables that are not delivering current efficiently bcoz of low quality material, and if it is too thin it might heat up and break.. most of decent good cable should be no problem to deliver a fast charger current.. cables will just that whatever the charger head gives it, and the device (phone/tablet) determines how much current it wants to draw from the charger. For example, the aukey charger i bought is 60w, but ipad pro will only draw around 30w because that is how it was designed.

talking about repairs and replacements, anyone here to share experiences of repairing ipads including previous models in malaysia? battery? screen? What’s the price like? Thanks

Side note - I have been having problem w Notes App - can’t detect the pen when i switch between landscape and portrait. And biggest flaw is - when you write on landscape split screen, and then just view on portrait alone, OMG the writing size is huge! haha Vice versa too

Just received my iPad Pro this morning.
Still waiting for my Apple Pencil....

Do you guys use your iPad Pro with case or naked?
