the Apple store staff teach me, register for the Free MBS member, then buy apple product. i buy Ipad Pro first, then use the rebate to buy Logitech Combo Touch.

with this purchase, MBS upgrade my member to Prestige which entitled monthly complimentary of Skypark.

Blooming is common in LED panel, just like any LED TV. Of cos, if the algorithm is well controlled, blooming will be minimized but not eliminated.

iPad Pro blooming is more apparent if used at the low brightness and a dark background.

Blooming is not that obvious with auto-brightness.

Not that noticeable in day time unless you're really looking for it.

At night time, brightness automatically lower so there's no high contrast to show the blooming more obviously.

I've both 2018 and 2021 models. Yeah Mini LED you can get darker blacks. But it's not worth the upgrade (my opinion) from 2018/2020 models.

If I'm not wrong still need to book appointment. It's the same as when we were in P3.

Walk-ins might be entertained but subjected to timing and the number of people in the store.

If both products are first hand at the same price which one will be a better choice for media consumption and light illustration work with Procreate?

iPad Pro 2018 11” 64GB vs iPad Air 2020 10.9” 64GB

For procreate, go with iPad Pro 2018 for the 120Hz display and lower latency with Apple
Pencil.

Does anyone know where I can buy paperlike screen protector?
I saw Mobyshop is carrying Paperlike but Paperlike brand is very expensive (almost $70). I would suggest u to get Spigen Paper touch (can't remember the exact name), similar to Paperlike but half the price. Else, if u can wait, get from here better.

Buy online

For the 11', Can the normal iPad Pro 2020 case fit the new iPad Pro 2021?
Most shops do not sell the 2021 version. My understand is that there is slight blocking of the speakers, thats all.

Looking for simple case (non-keyboard) for my iPad Pro 2021 11'.

Why should it be blocking? The 2021 model has less speaker holes and are slightly larger.

Hi iPad Gurus, I have nv own an iPad and seeking advice if I shld get an iPad Pro (2021) 11” over a M/S SP8

I am looking for a personal laptop having gone without one for the past 8 years. My key usage are:
  1. Content consumption: Web browsing, news, media, e-book
  2. Productivity: MS suite (.doc, .xls, .ppt), On-screen content snipping
  3. Communication: Emailing, VC, web messaging (Whatsapp/Wechat)
  4. Organisation: File management
Hardware requirement: Portability, monitor extension.

While I prefer the versatility of a tablet to facilitate content consumption and working on the go and around home, I also wanted a tablet that is powerful enough in the form of a laptop replacement. I identified the upcoming M/S SP8 and IPP 2021 11” as my only 2 choices. While the SP8 will potentially fit the bill, it is yet to be launched and is likely to be more exp than IPP Pro. I am waiting for WWDC in June to discover wat improvement will come to the M1 IPP esp on the iPadOS for screen extension and producvity. I would like to ask for your opinion as follow:
  • Is iPadOS user friendly for MS suite, I need a fully functional MS suite.
  • Ease of file management like M/S File Explorer
  • Do U think Cellular is unnecessary when we have wifi at home and can hot-spot to our mobile outside home?
  • Is Apple Pencil unnecessary for normal user like me and more like something fancy for user who draw or make notes on their tablet?
  • Is AppleCare+ necessary?
Choiced IPP 2021: 11”, Space Gray, 512GB, Wi-Fi ($1,649)
Accessories: Logitech Combo Touch Keyboard Case ($289), Power Support Matte Film

Hv a good weekend n TIA!
