Unfortunately nope  rolleyes.gif

Actually I’ve been using the pencil alot of take down my daily journals - not an artist or creative person, but I do use it for light photo editing and Photoshop, its more precise with the pencil.
Here  tongue.gif

All my devices are in Beta. Seems like the current Beta is more stable- especially the widgets.

I'm tempted to update the Public Beta but afraid of too much bugs, any particular bugs that annoy you?

Defo the widget bug - but that seems to be fixed @ Beta 4. So far on Beta 4, seems quite stable but some apps are still wonky like Maybank2U and Facebook.

I got a feeling that the official release is just around the corner, hopefully with more widget support from 3rd party.
*
Oh I never knew there’s an app for M2U on iPad. Oh that’s sucks, I watch a lot of stream on Facebook.

Remote play PS4 crashes and i just view the Sony ps store for 3 mins. Twice. So i stopped.

I bought the Logitech Pebble mouse at a store with Logitech signboard in Midvalley just beside the bridge connecting Gardens. More expensive than buying online but I don’t wanna wait  thumbup.gif

Rather than widget, I love the new Music interface with album art being focus.
*
Honestly I never try Remote Play on iPad before, my PS4 been eating dust this year. Hopefully they’ll fix it in Beta 5.

Finally, it's a pain in the @ss to reply on my phone everytime I'm using iPad Pro. Hopefully they implement it like Telegram.

There’s another brand - Elecom.

Quite well received by many, though shipping takes quite of bit of your time.
Mine just reached KLIA, hopefully can get it by this week. Based on what I’ve read on Reddit, seems like it doesn’t- but there’s a minor glue residue (depending on cases) which can be removed using a hairdryer or heat source to melt it away.

Now I cannot tahan fingerprints on my MK - cumbersome to wipe every time.
*
I know right, the finish is matte but not entirely anti-fingerprint. Do you have imbalance/magnet issue with Switcheasy Coverbuddy?

The 12” MKB is so heavy, can’t see myself using it daily.

Ya that the one - Brydge, too bad it did not use the connector but instead bluetooth, the scroll lagging I cannot accept, else it is a solid product.

Ya you are correct, Logitech only do for 11", anyway I don't like Logitech design, the material use don't have premium look.

After see so many video, seems Apple Magic Keyboard did the best.

Will consider. smile.gif as seems quite heavy, Magic Keyboard (710g) + iPad Pro 12.9" (643g) = 1.35kg. hmm...

Also total price will be RM 5,499.00 + RM 1,549.00 = RM 6,958.00.
More expensive than based model of MacBook Pro which only cost RM 5,599.00 (1.29kg).

HaHa!

It is definitely heavy, I use my iPad in multiway. MKB works best only if you working on desk or lap. Can't see myself use it as my main case, I still go back forth with my normal case.

Talking about weight, it is very noticable if you bring it around sweat.gif

A12Z, A14..

I bet most of the users can’t tell the difference because the iPads are already fast as hell.

And yes, A14 will probably do better on a single-core basis, the A12Z will be a better performer for multi-core. For me, the 2020 Pro this year is just a minor spec bump from the 2018 model - while the Air just got a total new revamp hence why they both are so close to one another.

I’ll be sticking to my 12.9 inch Pro - Air lacks alot of features that I am not willing to sacrifice on.
*
The 120hz alone make the new Air feel obsolete, and there’s no 12.9 option for us sweat.gif

the extra features of ipad pro actually make it more worthy for the extra paid if u ask me.

no reason for ipad air to have 12.9-inch, since if one needs such big screen they should certainly be a pro user that needs it for laptop replacement.
*
That's why I don't understand why people compare over the two, it's for a totally different audience/market.

Question for Magic KB user, do you use it daily?

I find the texture very fragile and prone to scratches. Gonna let go of mine sad.gif

However the kb and touchpad is very satisfying to use and well implemented!

Hi bro, I am using it everyday. The case texture feels like quite fragile. But so far the case still nice and no scratches.

You must be a really careful user. I’m coming from the old gen Smart Keyboard which have the same texture. Have terrible experience with it until I have to complain to the service center. Luckily they changed it for me.

I own both Pencil 1 and 2... Pencil 2 feels more "natural" and closer to writing with actual pen... Not sure if it's just me but the pencil 2 tip does feel softer too... Pencil 1 is kind of too slippery... I think 2 Is better than 1...  nod.gif

I agree with you, the flat side of Pencil 2 actually a good spot to place your thumb while writing thumbup.gif

I use it daily. I skinned it with DBrand so I can just toss in the bag whenever.

The palm rest is very sensitive to water / oil - need to constantly wipe and blow to get rid of the dust.

So far still no scratches after 2 months of usage  rclxm9.gif

Yea, skin is an option too. I'm keeping mine in a 13" laptop sleeve with suede inside doh.gif

I could be the first person to change MK to Logitech Slim Folio Pro laugh.gif

But how do u store it? I only put it on table or bag compartment only have the iPad itself
*
For Smart Cover, I use it extensively. Didn't bother to take care very well as I did not know how delicate is the texture until one point, the pin connector couldn't detect my iPad anymore.

Apparantly they have a recall program on that, so yeah they gave me a brand new one.

Just got my Pencil 2, love it!

Question though, is it OK to leave it attached to the iPad Pro full time? I noticed the Pencil got a bit warm.

It's fine but you will notice it the iPad Pro drain more power than usual.

So, it won't overcharge and degrade the battery sooner?

Overcharge is no longer a problem since few generation ago, I think nowadays is standard to have overcharge protection. What's more a premium device like iPad Pro

So don't worry bro smile.gif
