iPad Pro (2022)

do u think 12.9" can replace a macbook pro ?

i am lazy to lug my mbp 16" during travelling.

For typical travels, an iPad will suffice. I leave my MBP at home for home use only.

yeah i also use ipad pro 11 with magic keyboard when travelling.

I still can't justify getting the Magic Keyboard for my usage type as I usually like to read news and articles on the go, and having to remove the iPad and use it naked is not 'safe' for me. Hence I got the Logitech Combo Touch.

I don't deny that I'm still a bit swayed for the Magic Keyboard.

The Magic Keyboard is super good albeit being freaking expensive. For the last 3 years or so I have been using it extensively so I think it’s more than paid it’s worth.

I got AppleCare plus for the iPad Pro so I’m just using it naked as it is. I’m going to utilise the AppleCare plus anyway when it’s near the end of coverage.

If you find the Magic Keyboard too expensive, the Smart Folio Keyboard is much cheaper and does the job well.

I don’t remove the keyboard at all when I use it to read news and articles.
Can easily rotate the IPad into a vertical reading position if required.

I also pair my IPad Pro with a Bluetooth mouse.

This setup turns my IPad Pro into an ultra portable laptop-like device for travels.

Hi all,

Have anyone tried the latest M1/M2 ipad pro 12.9" with the 1st generation magic keyboard and with a TG screen protector. Apple says its not compatible size wise but have seen some youtube videos showing otherwise. However, none of them are using a tempered glass screen protector. Does it work well with no issues or should i just get the latest magic keyboard?

TIA.

It's almost as heavy as my 13" M1 MBP. That's why I don't buy 12.9" because I bring out my iPad regularly, even on travels as it's not that portable.

Depends on your use case for the iPad Pro. It’ll still be relatively more portable computing device than the 16” MBP, so hopefully it works for you.

do u mean the ipad magic keyboard ?

if yes, i think this one by apple is good except that it is heavy.

for typing feel , no other keyboard comes close. i tried my friend‘s logitech which is not as good.

ESR keyboard folio , reviews not as good.

i think most likely i will keep the ipad magic keyboard at home when i go overseas.

really is too heavy to bring along.

Just be careful when storing the 12.9 ipad, a lot of bendgate stories.

I got the 16” mbp as my main unit but when I travel, it is still iPad Pro. Lighter

 

[elvintay07]

Anyone got any case recommendations?
