It was easy for you to get a buyer so fast too! But why air 3? Just for media consumption?

Cause besides pro, only air 3 comes with keyboard and touchpad combo.

iPad 7th Gen also comes with keyboard+touchpad combo...but u lose the newer processor & laminated display

Yes indeed. I bought this for my folks at home and the plasticky display do bothers me a whole lot, not to mention the gap between can’t be UNSEEN!

Ya the display kinda annoys me, especially when you came from Pro model, but i've learn to live with it for now
Already sold off my 2018 11 Pro & rocking the 7th gen for now, realised that I don't need the Pro features for my usage

The combo touch doesn't seem to be available here in Malaysia

You got your Adonit note plus dah?

How about do a review about it? Would be an interesting comparison. I’m sure some of us are really attracted by the trackpad options like me. Even with a mouse, not many functions on some apps are clickable compared in laptops. Hopefully the incoming iPadOS continues to provide more features.

I can see the limitation of the iPad OS and I do find certain things limited too however, it is also really unfair to compare iPad OS to a full fledge desktop operating system where one is a lot of familiar than just 3 days on the iPad OS.

Also I highlighted that because, the difference between us is that we spent our money on it as compared to we tried another person’s.

The difference can be that one wants to work with the iPad OS and the other wants to compare with Mac OS.

Nothing wrong with either and emotionally, our propensities are mostly tied to our cash. What is unequivocal is that Mac OS is definitely more powerful but iPad OS is well optimised for its limited usage, not Mac OS powerful but sufficient for some of us.

Believe it or not I had not been using Mac OS for days now and would only switch to the MBA when my iPad runs out of battery(I don’t bring the charger to the office).

I’ve been loving iPad OS a lot more because I’ve gotten used to the gestures and is able to switch from one app to another, multitask, with the utilisation of the slide over very quickly and am no longer used to the touch pad functions of the Mac OS. If anything I find Mac OS a lot more complicated to learn everything and iPad OS a lot simpler and tidier, love the split screen especially.

My view is obviously slanted towards iPad OS, it is not cheap haha

I hated the gap, which is why I put everything on the iPad Pro instead LOL

I would’ve gone with the MacBook Air if there was not an iPad Pro type of aesthetics haha, I’m vain

yeap, i'll sure do that. still waiting for my air 3 to arrive. most likely tomorrow.

ipad pro is an excellent choice. it's the top of the line product. especially the 120hz refresh rate. i'll miss that the most.

Not yet bro .. pissed off with JNT .. never deliver to me since 29 April .. already put a report for this yesterday and they promise delivery today but seems nothing really happend today.

Good explanation and yes, it really depends on individual. Most common users will do fine with the ipados. Me on the other hand, the ipados definitely is too limited for my usage and hence the decision to stick to laptops. But i strongly disagree apple’s claim that ipads are a laptop replacement. Individual preferences lorrr

Haha roast them

So true, same here.
For heavy work on MS Excel, Powerpoint etc and multitasking with other apps (multiple monitors), MacOS wins.
IpadOS is great for note taking, media, email and single focus app usage.

That being said, ipad + macbook make great pairing for travel. Ipad makes a good second monitor for macbook when you dont have access to proper second monitor.

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.

Anyone know where to get Spigen cases for the Ipad?

Agreed. I just got mine today, first thought was cheap plastic, super thin, it even wobbles when shake with one hand. Most probably will let go, don’t really like it..

any poll on 11 inch or 12.9 inch.. cant decide on which..
