For anyone who still wondering which iPad to buy

1) IPad Air 4 basically does everything you need except 120hz which i really cant tell the difference. For a cheaper price.

2) Magic Keyboard is a must have accessories because it changes everything. It changes how you use portably. Technically it can replace a laptop. Before I get the Magic Keyboard, I use Logitech K380 keyboard and Pebble mouse. But it is not portable for work, mostly use tablet mode. After MK, I use it in laptop mode more.

My work use case,
1) Excel / Free Apple Numbers
2) Jump Desktop (remote pc) for Windows 10 accounting software
3) Plenty of creative apps for marketing purpose

Personal
1) PC remote gaming
2) PS4 Remote gaming
3) Dekstop web browser using Safari
4) YouTube and other apps like Discord
5) Social media and messenger

4G is a must for worse case scenario (barely touched my Digi 100GB quota) because mostly connected to Home WiFi or Work WiFi. Covid, go figure.

A very good read to those who is considering to get the latest ipad air or the ipad pro 2018/2020. It is different in my case. I used to have the 11pro and MK and I thought they could replace my mac but they couldn't. My work uses MS word, excel, pp, and adobe acrobat most of the time but ipad os is not as friendly as mac os, at least to me and my work. On ipad os i feel i work slower than mac, made me feel less efficient. Now that i replaced the combo with a larger 12.9 without MK and use it as my secondary display with my mac.

Anyone here uses charging brick other than Apple’s and higher wattage? Any concerns about it?

Am thinking of using just one for ipad and iphone which might be higher than either one.

I'm using the 61W macbook charger adapter with a cheap USB-C to C 1.2m cable bought from ninjaz to charge both my macbook and ipad at home. No issue whatsoever.

Feel bad for u. Always practice COD and make sure all ID are signed out before making payment. As of now, your ipad is as good as spare parts only.

I bought ipad pro thinking of substituting it with a laptop.  But, i find out it is not as user friendly as a laptop.

1.  I use words quite a bit and synology.  Realised i can never open a file from words.  need to use synology own app which isnt universal at all.

2.  i then use words + dropbox.  but the file cannot be "saved" on the dropbox directly.  Need to either "replace" or save it on my ipad which i cannot retrieve thereafter.

any sifu can guide me?

i feel like my pad pro is a trash.  regretted much. T.T

I was in the same shoe as u last time but I was using MS one drive and google drive. IIRC, file can be saved directly onto file -> onedrive folder. Give it a try.
