So far haven't heard horror story about getting charged full price post shipment. You just have to ask yourself if the price difference is worth taking the risk I suppose haha
Yup the 12.9 had initial delivery date same like 11 inch last night. I checked for both 😅

oh mannn, you made me feel bad now ... haha ...

by the way, good thing is my ipad has arrived at KL airport. based on record, it probably will get delivered to me today .. rclxm9.gif rclxm9.gif

I just updated the Apple products pricelist and noticed a drop across board for all 2020 iPad Pro models vs the 2018 ones. Nice job, Apple!

Hello all,

As office 365 is not free for ipad pro. Am thinking to subscribe office 365. Price at RM60 per year (6 ppl join together), 1TB cloud storage, full version of office application for ipad and can be used for 4 devices per account.

Any taker?
*
are you sure office 365 can share 6 people with each people with 4 devices? I thought last time it was 2 version available, single user and 5 users.

I didn't see any differences. Any example of the drop in price? drool.gif

You didnt see the different because you refer to 2020 ipad pro where 2018 ipad pro was not there ..

Actually the Magic Mouse is not very comfortable for long use - especially if you have large hands like I do.

I have cramps after under 1 hour of usage - some logitech mouse are still decent.
*
Hmmm .. i have big hand too but no issue with magic mouse .. been using since 6-7 years ago .. so far ok ..

By the wat, if we using bluetooth mouse with normal or logitech mouse, can we swipe between the panel of display? Using scroller?

Not all mouse can support the page scrolling using the wheel, so far the only one that is accurate is Apple's Magic Mouse / Trackpad when it comes to scrolling. Based on my experience, sometimes it work, sometimes it doesn't, especially on Safari. So I just use my fingers instead  tongue.gif

Oh really? Hmm .. i dont fancy apple mouse is because of the glass material .. since this is for on the go, i believe the mouse will fly quite number of time ..

If you are mostly using Office, the iPad Pro may not be the right choice for you. In my experience Excel is a pain in the a** to use in iOS/iPadOS. You will waste a lot of time on opening and closing multiple files.

No you can’t open 2 excel files side by side. The workaround is using Split View with one file in Excel and one file in Numbers. But that is provided that your spreadsheet is mostly basic data and doesn’t involve complicated formulas as Numbers may not be able to render them correctly. Numbers is aesthetically nicer looking, but functionality wise it is vastly inferior to Excel.

But on the other hand, Microsoft is due to release a new Office app for iPadOS (the iPhone app is already available) later this year. They may improve the multitasking experience with the update, but nothing is sure for now.

Have you considered the new MacBook Air instead? The iPad Pro is superior than MacBook Air in many ways, but macOS is just so much better in handling Office files compared to iPadOS. The MBA will have no problem with light photo editing as well.
*
Why cant they do ipad pro with macOS? That would solves many of our problem ..

i'm pretty sure they experiment it indoor. my guess is they want to differentiate tablet and laptop with different user experience. second, sales. it will cannibalize macbook sales which user will only spend one time money on present two machines.
*
Yeah true .. they think themselves first before our needs. biggrin.gif ..

By the way, anyone got the magic keyboard shipped?

This is the funny part about Apple Store, they dont consolidate all orders and ship in one go. One by one. Probably its warehouse and logistic system cant cater for consolidation or orders could be processed and ship from different part of the world like some via Chia and SG
*
They even charge credit card 1 by 1 even on the same order. Perhaps it is depend on the location of warehouse ... both, pencil and ipad came from China but 1 from North East China and another South East ..

Guys,

For excel in ipad, can you just copy the text instead of together with the formula?
