I go to Starbucks all the time and yes I bring the 12.9 IPP. And an Apple magic keyboard (not Smart Keyboard cover) so it looks like I've set up a mini desktop. Ive gotten some wows from people wishing they had one, but nobody thought it was weird.

And if they do, we do not let that control us

I don't bring my 9'7 Pro anywhere, it stays at home. My 7+ made up for my need of a bigger screen on the go.

For me, it was mostly because AppleCare doesn't cover theft.

this thread is hilarious

So there I was at Starbucks today minding my own business when some guy had the audacity to pull out a 12.9 inch iPad Pro! We immediately began throwing tomatoes at him and pointed while laughing hysterically.

Why? Was he watching Gravity Falls?

Honestly I have never seen a ridiculous 12.9 iPad Pro at Starbucks the only time I ever saw one in Public was a medical student or MD in scrubs holding one at a Mall Foodcourt and he looked ridiculous and he looked uncomfortable.

You are injecting your bias in to your description of him, it's roughly the size of a 13 MBP,it's what he WANTS, and HAS, APPARENTLY SO DO YOU! You are aware the medical community uses them A LOT! Grow up Son

No but most home insurance does (you have to have it added).

I have renters but the deductible is about $100 less than the price I still owe on the device. Not a risk I'd like to take.

I agree. The ridicule and shame that I experience every time I lug mine into the local Starbucks has really had an effect on my self-esteem. OK, so carrying a 12.9 iPad Pro is like walking with a windshield from a Mini Cooper under my arm. Does that mean that I'm less of a person? Is that a license to point at me and snicker with derision?

(the above is obviously sarcasm)


My 12.9 iPad Pro, clear skin covering the back, and ASK is thinner and lighter than an MBP. When I need access to macOS, I can use my Citrix X1 mouse with my iPP to connect to my iMac... or use the touch interface. Jump Desktop does a terrific job with implementing touch to control the mouse. It has been the most portable and flexible notebook-like device that I've owned so far.

As usual, a good source of IPP functional add one, have it in touch, (mouse on order) TYSVM SR

OP is correct. You're not supposed to bring the 12.9 iPad Pro to Starbucks unless your want to look weird.

PULEESE! What do you people care so much about what people think?
Once you get to the ripe old age of Fartness of 69 in February, like me, you won't give a rats patoot, about what the world thinks of you, it all comes with age, That said, that is ME in the raft White Water Rafting in my Avatar in 2015, the wacko is still alive

I was going through my Dropbox photos and I stumbled across the old photo of the guy with a full desktop setup including a modem and landline phone. At least he didn't have an iPad Pro.

 

[BigMcGuire]

I'm sitting in a starbucks right now using one!

Wait, if your phone is on the table... and your iPad Pro is there.... what are you taking the picture with?

Having seen people with full blown monitors at my local starbucks (connected to laptops) I wouldn't have a problem bringing my iPad Air 2 to a Starbucks. I see plenty of 17' old Windows laptops that look like they're ready to fall apart - I can't imagine lugging those around in a backpack all day. Makes my back ache to think about it.

Is that you in the picture? I asked because this dude doesn't care about the picture was taken.

I would argue that most people don't care if their picture is being taken. Of course every now and then somebody will try to sue the photographer, in case they use that picture without proper release for professional reasons.

WHO BRINGS FULL BLOWN MONITORS TO STARBUCKS?!

It is not me in the picture. The persons face is not visible so I don't really think it's a big deal.

 

[midwestfisherma]

I don't go to Starbucks so yeah...

But outside of that why would anyone worry about taking an iPad Pro anywhere????

 

[magicschoolbus]

I can't bring my new MacBook Pro to Starbucks because the amount of adapters it needs to connect my devices takes up the whole table!! GASP.

LOL! Right... where can you ultimately put your coffee??

That isn't an iPad Pro in your attached picture. No iPad bezels are the same width on all sides anymore. Symmetrical bezel widths went away with the iPad Air.

But he wasn't talking about his iPad.

Excuse me I really like Jony Ives's new hairstyle.

 

[Cheffy Dave]

Just don't take it into the Starbucks commode; that'll seem a bit awkward

I don't leave mine out there, it rests on the sink, leaving it unattended not an option

Yea it is. I see what you mean from the angle of the photo, but it definitely was.
