Just got my iPad Pro M1 11’

Wi-Fi and 5G! So far I’m impressed! I love this thing! And I’ve been playing COD Mobile with a PS4 controller! So much fun! I’m glad I didn’t go with the 12’

As a fellow owner of that exact same iPad bar the 5G, I agree 😄 although the size is a personal choice.

I haven’t played COD Mobile on it though, I should give that a go really, and I have a PS4 controller I don’t use anymore.

why are you glad you didnt went for the 13" for gaming with controller and mini-Led would be a far better choice
Probably a money thing.

I wanted more portable iPad! 12 was a little too big for me personally

Debating on the m1 iPad Air, 11 inch iPad Pro, or 12.9 iPad Pro all with the Magic Keyboard and pencil thingy… my only concern about the 12.9 is it is too big
You should try it at the store. I have 11” due to 12.9” is closed to 13” MBA which I already had.

Me too, I looked at the new iPad Mini and the 13" Pro but I settled on the one in the middle, it was just right for me. Since I got it in February I haven't gone a day without using it.
I’m the same. Use it all the time. The 11 inch hits the sweet spot for me. I put a skin on it for a bit of scratch protection and also have the pencil and Magic Keyboard. I rarely ever use my laptop.

possibly may be getting an 11 inch generation 3 iPad Pro this morning, was talking to a friend of mine who said he upgraded to the 12.9 inch, and too late to return this one, plus it supposedly has cellular as well which will be good. Supposedly only a month old, so if that's the case and its as nice as he says I will have 2 awesome iPads, my air 3 and then the pro.

Well bought the 11 inch iPad Pro 3rd gen from my friend. Has cellular and the magic keyboard with a screen protector as well, so now I have 2 very nice iPads to play with and likely very future proof as well. It also had the smart folio cover also with it so it was an awesome deal.

I got a Steam Deck yesterday, I really like it and it gives me access to games I can’t play otherwise, I have a Kindle Paperwhite I love to use for reading and I also have a Xbox Series X I really enjoy.

But my most favourite gadget is STILL my iPad Pro. It just does everything really. All my devices have a purpose and a few of them were gifts, I used birthday money i got to put towards my iPad, but I still am enjoying my iPad Pro the most.

I even had a bash at COD Mobile with my PS4 controller the other day and blitzed everyone else lol, but then it wanted to out me into ranked games.
I think the speed and power the iOad has is part of the attraction for me. It’s just so flipping fast and smooth.

I’ve got Wreckfest pre-ordered for my iPad that I’m looking forward to.

I got an 11" 5g M1 pro as well. Definitely a beast of a tablet, can't wait for Warzone mobile to come out next year

I’ve been tempted to get the Steam Deck or Ayaneo Air. However, I keep thinking that I should wait for faster RDNA 2 or 3 integrated graphics.

They have RDNA 2 now I think in the Steam Deck and the new GPD Win 4 (which looks like a PSP!) or Aya Neo 2. Its been really cool playing Steam games on the Deck, I’ve got StarCraft 2 on it even!

I don’t think they have Aya Neo 2 available for sale/crowdfunding yet.

Did you have to install Windows for that? How’s the battery life?

No, you have to go into the Linux desktop and you install the Blizzard app into Steam, then you can install your games.
Battery life isn't the best really, but I've not really looked into changing the graphics and refresh rate, FOS etc ti improve it.
And yea they just announced the Neo 2 I think? So not sure when it can be crowd funded.

What did it set you back for? Curious.
