QUOTE(attw @ Mar 19 2020, 08:46 AM) Valid points. But I think that's just where the trend is headed. A 8/128 Surface Pro X with the keyboard and pen will also cost RM5.3k. For that amount of money, I'd get a MBP too Haha that depends if you really need a laptop or not. More most occasions, iPads are enough. The versatility is what makes it unique. |

QUOTE(attw @ Mar 19 2020, 02:37 PM) Ya, it can be argued that with iPadOS, the iPad is now more versatile, but I'm not sure if it is a complete replacement for a laptop just yet. Either way, as JerryRig would say, it's definitely a step in the right direction. Different need state versus a laptop - but yes I agree that its almost there. Ironically its leaning more towards a laptop now than a phoneA good 3rd party keyboard case will probably costs about RM300-RM400, a non-keyboard one probably RM150 or so. Asking RM1000 and above for a keyboard case is pushing it for me Ya, so true. Looks like we might get 128GB base storage iPhones come end of the year. |

QUOTE(attw @ Mar 19 2020, 09:06 PM) It’s never meant to be a large screen phone, although arguably when it was first launched it did feel like just a big a$$ iPhone back then. But with iPadOS and the USB C adoption, it’s clear that Apple now wants this shift to a laptop replacement. We’ll see how it pans out. Are you getting one bro? Very tempted to get one, now cannot decide between the Wifi or Cellular version Usually we’ll be in the second or third wave launch countries, but now the only “wave” to be concerned with is that to do with Covid19 True, and the old one supports the magic keyboard too. I’m not opposed to getting the older one if it is discounted significantly by maxis in the upcoming days or weeks. |

QUOTE(attw @ Mar 20 2020, 06:20 PM) Ya, I had the 11" Pro for a bit and I was worried about bending it everytime I place it in and take it out from my case Haha I already have cellular on my watch and phone. Imagine paying for another plan Cellular bro, having connectivity on the fly is really a convenience! |

QUOTE(asamalikum @ Mar 20 2020, 10:13 PM) Is cellular on Apple Watch worthwhile? I decide to go with non-cellular version just to conserve battery. Depends on you actually.I use it for outdoor runs and gym. Literally tossed my phone aside and just rely on my watch for music and workout tracking. Battery life enough to survive until end of the day with <10% left. QUOTE(attw @ Mar 21 2020, 08:34 AM) Yeah, that's why I've been eyeing maxis' iPad plans - RM18 for 5GB per month...but to sign up for that must buy iPad from them! Actually I dont understand why our local telcos cannot just link to our existing plan instead of a new plan for your iDevices. |

QUOTE(stargazhe @ Mar 23 2020, 12:27 PM) It has been an ongoing rumour that Apple will release new iPads and MacBooks with mini-LED display starting from end of this year. iPad Pro Max I guess they won’t be replacing the current LCD models, but to be sold at a higher price (similar to iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro). So... iPad Super Pro incoming? Actually don't understand why Apple didn't change the panel for the 2020 iPad Pros - could've gone with Mini LEDs so they don't have to clutter their product lineup with so many different variant. |

QUOTE(Seng_Kiat @ Apr 12 2020, 08:53 AM) Oh i see. Seems that my ipad arrives first before the case .. This Baseus TG is quite good, had it on my iPad Pro 2018 - doesn't feel like there's another layer on the glass at all.Btw, I bought this for the sp: https://s.lazada.com.my/s.0gi3d ... shipment is very fast. Ordered on friday, arrived on sat. Very fast... the good is nicely packed. |

So what cases are you guys going to rock with your iPad Pro?
I’m not sure if the Magic Keyboard is going to be enough, if you’re gonna chuck it to a bag after use etc. |

QUOTE(zack.gap @ Apr 13 2020, 12:04 PM) Congrats bro! So it went straight from processing to shipped? Are they using DHL as carrier? That's because most of the stocks are stored in the China warehouse, not Singapore.I'm surpised it's shipping from China and not from SG. Supply must be super low I prefer Logitech's keyboard over Apple but that's mainly personal preference since I'm used to the one on iPad Air 2 logitech keyboard. And I prefer mouse over trackpad tbh haha. More precise and can control pointer better Singapore's warehouse is managed by DB Schenker - mainly smaller items only due to storage space constrains. Hmm do you feel that the Logitech keyboard folio is a little bulky? Also, does it feel heavy? |

QUOTE(zack.gap @ Apr 13 2020, 04:34 PM) So I just got off a call from Apple CS. It seems those who engraved their iPad Pros will get their stock from China whereas the non-engraved ones from Singapore which explains the differences in shipping times. Thanks for your feedback - will probably stray away since I'm looking at the 12.9, imagine + added weight Yup, its called Logitech Slim Folio but ironically its rather bulky + heavy! I honestly don't mind because it has bumpers on the corners for protection but those who are sensitive to weight might not like it QUOTE(Seng_Kiat @ Apr 13 2020, 05:33 PM) Ahh.. same like me. Mine also silver, 12.9.. too much of space grey since iphone 7 or so.. and silver looks attractive more like a white.. 👍🏻 Silver is a good color. Might get this color too |

QUOTE(Seng_Kiat @ Apr 14 2020, 01:03 AM) You going to get magic keyboard case for the ipad? I am thinking to get it. The floating is so cool. With trackpad too. But some say the protection is not that great while have to wait a little longer. Not too mention the price itself can get another ipad or half the price is ipad pro. 😂 I guess the protection is more or less similar with the current keyboard folio, just covers the front and back when closed. The only thing you should always remember when handling the device - don't bloody drop it! Even with the keyboard folio - I bet it will fly off the case due to the impact.Me too, I was thinking to get 11 but since I want to replace my laptop which is 12.3inch, taking 12.9inch is perfect replacement. |

QUOTE(asamalikum @ Apr 14 2020, 09:05 AM) since u are coming from 9.7' form factor, my suggestion is to upgrade to ipad pro now. first of all, rumors had it that microled will initially launched on the bigger size 12.1 ipad only. which means, the smaller, more portable ipad won't get an update at least until the next generation which is mid-2021. in my case, i prefer portability over technology. thus, it won't matter much to me. Yup and doubt Apple will release another iPad Pro this year just < 6 months of the launch of the iPad Pro. Its like shooting yourself in the foot - especially in the current economic situation globally as well. |

QUOTE(Seng_Kiat @ Apr 14 2020, 10:07 AM) I treat this ipad as laptop as it is my laptop replacement anyway. You wouldn't drop a laptop right. don't you? Yeah that's true - but iPads are slightly more mobile than a laptop due to the thickness so most people will still carry it around to places due to its form factor and accidents can happen at any time of the day.I use my iPads at in the office, brought it for meetings due to its form factor vs conventional laptop but guess accidents do happen and I dropped mine in the lift while reaching out to press the floor buttons. But thankfully I had a bumper case on instead of the keyboard case. This post has been edited by andrewtho: Apr 14 2020, 11:41 AM |

QUOTE(Seng_Kiat @ Apr 16 2020, 05:15 PM) Lol .. 5 years old mac .. what do you expect? Haha .. use this keyboard and mouse for a while, while waiting for the keyboard ... Actually the Magic Mouse is not very comfortable for long use - especially if you have large hands like I do. I am not sure should i get apple mouse or just settle for logitech mouse ... I have cramps after under 1 hour of usage - some logitech mouse are still decent. |

QUOTE(Seng_Kiat @ Apr 16 2020, 06:29 PM) Hmmm .. i have big hand too but no issue with magic mouse .. been using since 6-7 years ago .. so far ok .. 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 By the wat, if we using bluetooth mouse with normal or logitech mouse, can we swipe between the panel of display? Using scroller? |

But mostly office work.. multiple excel.. actually i worry about this. I think office apps cant multitask right? As in i cant open 2 excel files at once? I never used Numbers.. is it any good? Or alternatively use Google Sheets via browser. The Excel on iPad is really limited - I get frustrated because I can't work as the same speed as I do on a computer / laptop. So basically work laptop for work, iPad for personal use. Don't need alot of formulas and macros for personal use on Excel QUOTE(akaneikegami @ Apr 17 2020, 09:17 AM) Poor design, same as the first gen Apple Pencil. Cucuk bawah |

QUOTE(asamalikum @ Apr 17 2020, 11:31 AM) 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. I think the cannibalization is very minimal. Both products has its own need states and placement within the product mix.It's normal for consumers to feel conflicted to choose either products - MacBook Air vs iPad Pro because there is a norm of a traditional laptop will always be more convenient / function vs a tablet. If you deep dive into what you really want, ie: your need states, then you can differentiate the roles of each devices. I had both, a Macbook and an iPad Pro - figured I spent most of my time on my iPad and my Mac was just sitting there collecting dust because the iPad is functional for me. I can watch my media anywhere at any setting (bed / chair / outdoors / standing / working out) while I can't do that with my Mac - just sitting on the table and thats it because its too uncomfortable to place it on your lap. My 2 cents. |
