iPad Pro for work. (Update)

[mikzn]

Thanks for the update! I am waiting to purchase the new iPad pro 12.9" (hopefully) and will try to install Duet again after Sierra is released.

Returned my iPad Pro 9.7 today for a 12.9 one. :didn't feel he 9.7 was a big upgrade from my Air 2. New one is great. Love the larger size. True tone is not a deal breaker at all.

I have had my 12.9 cents December but I used my grandmas 9.7 for a day I did not like the claustrophobic physical keyboard and I agree to tell him it's not a dealbreaker I still feel my 12.9 is a better iPad for me it would be hard to downgrade to a 9.7 ever again

For sure. I am what you would probably call a power user at this point. I'm even recording, editing, and publishing a podcast from the Pro. At this point, there is only one piece of software I use that is keeping me from being able to do 100% of everything on the iPad, and that is a piece of proprietary conference call software that my company uses--it's still Flash based.

Even after about 5 years of owning iPads, I'm still blown away that I can use it for all these "productivity tasks" during the day, and then have it act as my book, magazine, TV, newspaper, etc. when I'm in relax mode at night and on weekends. It's gotten to the point where I barely touch my iPhone when I'm at home or when I'm out and about with my iPad Pro. I even added a non-keyboard Smart Cover to my arsenal so I can remove some weight if I know I won't need to be typing for awhile.

The next step in your journey is the "all three" club (the small minority who one at least one model of each size).

Seriously though - glad you're enjoying it! =)

I am tempted by the 9.7", but my current 12.9" does the job so well that I really have no excuse to buy the smaller form.
My only complaint is the keyboard and it's bad design, but other than that the iPP changed my habits.

Are you talking about the on-screen keyboard or the physical accessory?

Physical.

 

[bensisko]

Physical.

Is it the single angle?

No, the fact that the surface that touches the other surface (ex a table) is what touches the screen once the keyboard is folded.
I didn't notice that there was some sugar on a Starbucks table I put the keyboard on. I closed the keyboard and when I went home and unfolded the keyboard there was enough sugar on the screen to panic. Thankfully there was no scratch.

I agree this is a drawback of the Smart Cover / Smart Keyboard design. Also why I always put on screen protectors on my iPads, even when using a Smart Cover with them.

Same thing I realised for my iPad Air 2 olive brown case, that the microfibre side is the side that gets to eat the dust from the table and s*it it out on the screen when you fold it back.

Logitech Any Angle case is 1/3 the price and does not have this folly. Yet, I love the leather case because of its 100g weight.. far better than the weight of the any angle case.
