Hi, any difference between the m590 and m585? Price is cheaper by half now for 585 and seems 590 is silent?
Does the 590 pair using usb a dongle? Can’t understand how to pair for device A and device B. Thanks
*
585 is no bluetooth i guess. 590 with bluetooth and rf .. that my guess tho but pretty sure it is right..

Yup, writing on paperlike surface is overrated, the low latency is sufficient
ESR Yippee kickback case, does not have the concealed part at the connector so i don't think i'm gonna use this full time but will be handy if i need to bring it out to travel.

I see.. i pair it with cover buddy. The main thing is if not bring keyboard, it does not have screen cover.

crayon works with ipad pro?
*
Yes it is. I am looking for temporary solution. With pkp, i sign a lot of doc in pdf. While my pencil seems have to be sent to apple center, it may takes sometime. I am looking for new pencil alternative.

Adonit is seems good brand. Do you think adonit pixel will works on ipad pro? I see in web there are 2 types, adonit pixel and pixel pro. I just need a pen that can sign is enough already.

I am looking at Adonit Note Plus...but I wonder if my ESR case the pencil slot can fit Adonit Note Plus.

Another option I am still considering is, SwitchEasy Pencil, which has a pressure writing functionality too
*
Yes, i just got myself an adonit note plus ... will let you know how good it is compare to apple pencil 2 .. seems it has pressure sensitive function too .. but for me now the most important is just to sign document and writting .. pressure sensitive is not important but i just buy just in case my drawing gets better in future .. haha ..

Great, thanks. You ordered online? How long is the shipping?

Let me know the experience, thanks man.

my Ipad still in the box and unopened. I don't have case, screen protector...so, dare not to use it naked.
*
Yes, i bought it online. I dont know how long does it take .. probably a couple of days or so ..

For screen protector, i would suggest baseus tempered glass if you are not into paper like writing experience .. for me, i am more into the pleasure of retina display on ipad rather than my writing experience .. obviously paperlike sp will degrade retina display quality.

Btw, i should getting myself the magnet type of ESR. Easier to switch case if needed. Aiyaa! ..

maybe can resell lower than retail, but higher than education, still make some money.

You just save rm50 from edu price .. if it were me, i will not buy something used if just the saving of less than rm100 or at least 30-40% off the new price.

Your guy prefer clear or matte screen protector?

I prefer clear sp as matte will degrade retina display. I did not use SP on my iphone as retina display is really awesome .. i do not want to degrade any quality of the screen .. but this ipad is too big. The chance it gets break if fall is really high ..

After 2 days of using the Apple Keyboard, here are my very premature thoughts about it, both good and bad. Also I will be comparing a lot with the MacBook Air because it is the most portable laptop I have in hand.

I think I can consider this an unequivocal point, which is that even prior to anyone deciding if they should make the iPad Pro 2020 their purchase, the announcement of the new Magic Keyboard stoked excitement but tempered after finding out about the potential price point in MYR(USD300-USD350). BAD

In spite of that, I thought about the accumulated cost for both the Smart Folio Keyboard and a Magic Trackpad 2 or a Magic Mouse 2 to experience the iPad Pro as a potential laptop replacement but losing out on the backlit keyboard, the scissors switch mechanism, it is in my own personal opinion more cost effective to just get the expensive Magic Keyboard. GOOD? NOT REALLY

I did consider the option of waiting for a potential 3rd party keyboard however I recalled fumbling with a Logitech Bluetooth mouse back in my early days of owning a white MacBook, which I ditched after a couple of months because it was not as intuitive as there were plenty of glitches with its connection as well as its hardware, also it is never simple when it comes to claiming warranty for a product that is widely available in the market, Apple however would be more accountable and more receptive even if you do bring it to one of the retailers such as Machines. GOOD some might disagree because of their own past experiences

The built is SOLID along with its magnets, this Magic Keyboard definitely feels like a premium product! The magnet makes it feels sturdier than a proper laptop on your lap because of the smaller carbon footprint, a 13" MacBook Air may wobble on the lap because of the larger platform GOOD but due to the top heavy nature of the combination, one perhaps should not do it too often as it might fall off your lap the moment one loses concentration and lifts or moves his or her legs. BAD

Portability is not really an issue as it is a little smaller and the weight penalty is just a dash heavier than the 13 inch MacBook Air GOOD BUT because there is no bumper protection and it having a square-ish shape(Sorry I need to find a better word for this) on its 4 sides, the exposed metal along the sides of the iPad Pro might attract lots of scratches and it is not as easy to lift up to carry around not because of the weight but the shape of the iPad Pro. BAD

Ok this is about all I can write for now, writing stamina all gone, I will add some more later by editing this or post an entire new one with addition to this
*
Good review .. but from my side, other than heavy pricetag, i am really enjoy the keyboard.. but given combine the price smart folio keyboard + trackpad and without backlit, this magic keyboard seems well priced. tongue.gif

It is perfect. Nothing to complaint but if one force me to say something bad other than price, it would be weight penalty and heavy top. But i can live with this .. not a real trouble to bring down the rating of this keyboard.

yup, I have a few more complaints, like not being able to bring out to take photos unless you unlatch it from the keyboard although some would say that it looks weird but if you do bring it out with your keyboard folio, it will be a lot ungainly and cumbersome.

Opening the keyboard with the iPad on with two hands feels a lot harder than people say too but hey, you win some you lose some, especially when it comes to versatility, I'm for the versatility lol

I dont know why people are making the easy open is so big? It is a sec or 2 of work. It does not border me at all .. it is not that you on call every time you open your ipad or laptop ..

Guys,

Do you keep cable connected to your magic keyboard even with your ipad is fully charged?

Anyone here using the iPad Pro as full time laptop replacement ? Can share your experiences ?
*
I did but my workload is probably light use as I just use mainly for email, browsing and excel. Excel is just simple excel as I have setup my excel formula on desktop. If I have to do it from scratch on ipad, it will be almost impossible.

Full time laptop replacement? For my usage, I would say yes. For others probably not.

My coverbuddy finally arrive. The plastic quality seems cheap to me. I dont quite like the quality. Luckily I bought from Lazada which price about rm100 compare to official web at 250 or so.

1 thing i like is it protects the pencil from uncessary fall. The charger contact works perfectly and it fits magic keyboard well. Nothing much to complain except the feel of cheap plastic material at RRP price.
