Enjoy the new toy, I can’t do the two tablet lifestyle lol… I think adding the Ultra would make that three for you if I’m not mistaken.
You have the Mini 7?

Yeah, I’m not big on keeping old gadgets… if they work I’m better off giving it to someone who has use for it. And if the device is no longer functional then I’m definitely getting rid of it.Didn't mention the 6 old Android tablets I still have somewhere ...
I am the same. As soon as I replace a device, the old one is gifted or recycled. Fortunately I have moved house and country many times, so through desire and partial necessity I have adopted a minimalist way of living. Having to deal with my parent's house full of stuff after they died was another lesson that one should not burden family members with massive decluttering and disposal tasks that you should have taken care of in your lifetime.Yeah, I’m not big on keeping old gadgets… if they work I’m better off giving it to someone who has use for it.

OK, I'm going back down the Android rabbit hole after a few years not using it. I saw that they fixed what was my biggest gripe with the Tab - they finally put on a good non-reflective coating. So I took the plunge and picked up an S10 Ultra. I must say, the 14.6" display is quite nice. I'll play with it a while to see if I'll keep it or not. I don't plan on doing any custom ROMing again, I'll use it stock. (I'm a retired h/w & s/w engineer - these things are my pricey toys. I would like a Vette like one of my other retired buddies has ... ain't gonna happen).

Well, that didn't last long. Since you focused on the negatives... any positives?TL;DR: I returned the Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra as it did not meet my expectations for its primary usage, media consumption.
Wasn't aware we can watch movies through Fandango... just checked they have a separate app called Fandango at Home.Fandango – where I have a number of digital copies – would not play video at all. In the end, that were just too many frustrations in my primary intended usage.

I'm considering an iPad Pro 13" to replace my intel 13" MBP. I'll be using it for general browsing, watching videos, and small Word/Excel files. Anything I should consider?
Thanks.
I started a thread called "Things You Can Do With Your iPad" a fews years ago. Lots of great stuff there.😊I'm considering an iPad Pro 13" to replace my intel 13" MBP. I'll be using it for general browsing, watching videos, and small Word/Excel files. Anything I should consider?

Yeah, that's real helpful to someone who's looking to do, "general browsing, watching videos, and small Word/Excel files". They don't need another MBP for their needs. I see you're trying out comedy...don't give up your day job.yes a 14" mbp
Or their time reading useless replies. Maybe their needs have changed since they bought the MBP.Guess they shouldn’t of wasted their money on a 13” mbp then lol
yeah maybe , its simple usage exactly what iPads are forOr their time reading useless replies. Maybe their needs have changed since they bought the MBP.
Well, several of us here use our iPads for so much more....like running our businesses, or teaching classes. The post I directed him to also shows the many uses people have found for their iPads. Depending on your use case, an iPad Pro is so much more flexible than a MBP, and does many things that a MBP just can't do. Like I said, comedy just isn't your forte. I'm thinking the circus would be a better fit.🤡yeah maybe , its simple usage exactly what iPads are for

I understand. Fortunately, I have had a smooth experience since I replaced my MBP with my M1 iPad Pro for my real estate business 3 years ago. There are things I can do with the iPad Pro for my business that a MBP can't do or just isn't as good at. I didn't quite like the Magic Keyboard at the time because it had a small trackpad and no shortcut/function keys. I went with the Logitech combo touch for those reasons and also the extra protection it gives over the MKB. I hear that the new Magic Keyboards now have a better experience with the addition of a row of function keys and a larger trackpad. Logitech has also updated the LCT for the new M4 iPad Pros.I'm still very much on the fence about it however. Most of my apprehension comes from going from "open" software like macOS to something rather "closed off" like iPad OS, and not having a proper file system. While my usage is 99% what I do above, there are often times where I need some desktop only software that the mac app store doesn't have. Additionally I have used iPads in the past with the magic keyboard and found the experience much less polished than Macbooks. I just have to decide wether the abiliity to use it both as a tablet and laptop, and the nice OLED screen is a worth it.
Anyway I've just discovered the "iPad as a laptop replacement" thread. I'll have a browse of that.

Only you know what best fits your needs for sure. Please let us know what you decide.😊
Several things. Communications...including texting...video meetings, Photographs on the go for posting to MLS, Video presentation walkthroughs, PDF's on the fly, creating...filling, and signing documents and contracts, scanning documents, jotting down notes with the Apple pencil(no separate pad of paper required), etc...I am in the same business coincidently. What are the things that iPad does better than MBP for running a real estate business?
I will second what @bondr006 is saying here. My 11” M1 iPad Pro has been my primary computer for the past almost 4 years. I am not in real-estate, but I am a writer and freelance graphic designer, and the iPad is a much better fit for my use-case than a MacBook would be. Don’t listen to the “just buy a MacBook” people who dismiss the iPad out of hand. Only you know what will work best for you, but I think the iPad is definitely worth giving serious consideration. 👍🏻. Also, I have noticed, at least with the apps that I use, there are often great alternatives to some pretty niche Mac desktop apps available for the iPad, even if there isn’t an iPad version of a Mac app, often there’s a great alternative to it that offers the same or better functionality. At least that’s been my experience. 👍🏻I'm still very much on the fence about it however.

Wow, so many helpful suggestions… 🙄. Come on, many people actually really like the Logitech keyboard case, and would not call it “rubbish”…. I personally use the Magic Keyboard Case from Apple, but the Logitech is a solid option.Don’t get the Logitech keyboard it’s rubbish
