Thanks, I am very love it. I am not sure 12.9" or 11" but at the end I pick 12.9". Haha!

No regret, I am shock the speaker is freaking great! So hope mobile phone also came with this kind of loud speaker quality.

Also the screen even though is not AMOLED but it is a unbelievable awesome quality. This is definitely a very high grade IPS.

Haha! I hope got shop can try the Pencil, maybe at the end I not buying either also.

I feel like wanna try use it for digital drawing. I love drawing but never try digital draw yet.

See how 1st as it ain't cheap.

The Keyboard look freaking awesome, but the price is RM 1.5k, still thinking should I get or not, or wait Logitech one.

Can you take a picture when closed down, I want to know how fit closed it is.

Oh ok, sure take your time.

Edit: I just found the video post here.

Wow! The keyboard looks pretty awesome and solid, and it looks closed up nicely!

Very solid! I maybe will buy this magic keyboard. It look far nicer than Logitech one as it is very slim design.
Logitech is too bulky. Another brand look very nice, I forgot the brand name but the touch pad is not smooth during scroll.

I can't believe I actually reading/flipping all 100 pages.

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. 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!

I will buy Keyboard first, pencil next time if needed, all together very tough on my pocket. Haha!

But currently they is no 12.9" version yet. Wonder how long the wait need.

Ok. I need think think first in this case. Haha! Will check at Harvey Norman in my area since Harvey Norman mentioned got stock.

Finally I bought a keyboard but not the Magic Keyboard.
Magic Keyboard is very elegant and nice to use but a bit too heavy and big cons to me is cannot fold over.

I bought Smart Keyboard Folio at the end.

It looks pretty solid also. Slimmer, lighter and can fold over, just no touchpad but it is ok to me.

Hi. Nope. It is naked without any screen protector.

I don't very like screen protector.

Apple iPad Pro 12.9" 2020 Wi-Fi + Cellular Review. Overall 9/10



Performance 10/10

• This tablet is beast, you had no worried on CPU and GPU performance. It is even faster than a lot of PC in the market.

Display 9/10

• Even though it is only IPS LCD not an AMOLED screen but this is a very high quality display, they is no single bleeding issue and the colour calibration is very accurate. I try mirror over to my LG C9 OLED TV and shock to my surprise both colour output is very closed identical.
• The image is sharp enough and the 600 nits is very bright. No issue of playback HDR movie at all, it was stunning to watch at it. They is no clear mentioned of the display is HDR capable but I am pretty sure it is HDR support display as from the nits mentioned, wide colour gamut and also Netflix show of HDR, and I don't find it is too dark but just nice from movies I playback from Netflix or Plex/Infuse.
• The 120hz also make the entire motion freaking smooth, I can't notice any frame skip or lag issue. The performance of graphics animation is extremely smooth.
• The cons is the playback of 1080p or lower resolution video is not sharp enough, it looks the same issue on my previous iPad Air 2 where upscaling is not well implemented for video lower than the native screen resolution. So watching YouTube or even Netflix basically is not sharp or clear enough. But watching 4K video is perfectly awesome. I hope Apple can implement the upscaling in iPad as great as what they did in Apple TV 4K box.
• Beside this the current ratio is a mix feeling, it is great for doc view when no split view but I believe it will be much better if the aspect ratio is 16:9 as this ratio will have better support for split view, watching movie and also mirror to TV.

Apps 9/10

• I always prefer iPad over Android Tablet as iPad apps is always well optimize for big screen device with better features as well. How great Android tablet do also no point due to less apps features and optimize, this included the new release of Samsung Galaxy Tab S7/S7+ where frank speak is freaking good spec and Samsung did it brilliantly by included the DEX interface where ability of running apps as floating around. iPad also had floating apps feature but it is limit to left or right only and cannot change the apps size. This part I hope Apple can implement similar in future.

Weight 5/10

• No denied the weight is big cons of iPad Pro. It is well solid build where this probably is an issue also as the too good material actually increase the weight here. This is also the reason I not choosing Magic Keyboard as with both attached make it over 1.3kg which is even heavy than 13" MacBook.

Loud Speaker 10/10

• I am shock when I first heard the loud speaker output quality, The sound is clear, no pitching issue with good bass. This 4 speakers arrangement make it very awesome listening to music or even watching movie. It will be nice if Mobile phone also came with such quality loud speaker.

Sound Output 9/10

• All my speaker or headset is wireless, I don't have any issue for sound output. If you still using traditional 3.5mm jack output, strongly suggest you change to Bluetooth wireless device instead of digging around to find a solution.
• I put 9 out of 10 as the connection is extra one step for none Apple design device where you need using System Bluetooth menu to connect before can use the bundle apps to connect for extra feature, beside this Apple only support AAC and not others format. Even though it still sound fantastic but this make my Sony WH-1000XM3 cannot use the highest quality format - LDAC.

Camera 9/10

• The bundle camera was very good and first time I seen manufacturer take care on tablet camera.

Replace Laptop 7/10

• It is very powerful with a lot features apps, with Apple Magic Keyboard it is like 90% laptop but I didn't buy it simply because it is too heavy and current design cannot fold over. Not much alternative for 3rd party currently as the rest all using Bluetooth where this make the scrolling lagging. The only 2nd alternative is from Logitech, but from review, it is even heavy and freaking bulky, also don't have 12.9" size version yet.
• At the end I choose only Apple Smart Keyboard Folio but this missing the touchpad and the keyboard itself even though is usable but not as great as magic keyboard.

High Possible and I believe the 1st ARM based macOS will be awesome.
