Review on Apple IPad Pro 11 Inches (Late 2018) 256GB by Ada Wado ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I am happy with everything, the product matches the description.

I use a tablet to create presentations, mount videos, analyze excel files. I also draw in procreate! Often it is easier and faster to do something on it than on a computer. But it is not yet possible to fully replace the mac MS office is stripped down, but google spreadsheets are awesome iPadOS is not yet fully adapted to working with files - the file manager does not have an adequate indicator of the copying process, it often freezes Applications sometimes work incorrectly with files on a flash drive. They need to be copied to internal memory or to an appropriate program Until recently, it was difficult to select, copy text, especially when working with multiple applications. Software version 13.4 finally introduced full mouse support. Works like in macOS. True, so far only in the whole system and in safari. Productivity will noticeably increase when developers ate their applications for this (Currently even pages do not have full support) The PS4 joystick is supported and works in many games. The truth is not always complete, for some actions you have to tap on the screen and the meaning is lost. In addition, screen sharing to TV does not work perfectly at the moment Heroes 3 HD does not go full screen, but not critical) Everything I wrote is relevant for iPadOS 13.4 In general, I am very satisfied with the tablet, it can definitely be recommended for purchase.

Pros
  • 1. It's an iPad 2. Modern design (Slightly bigger after Air 2, but better for pro use) 3. Face ID (For me it turned out to be more convenient than Touch ID) 4. Great sound (Apple TV+ shows are immersive!) 5. USB Type C (Finally) 6. iPad as a wireless secondary monitor (Sidecar) for mac (Perfectly implemented and integrated) 7. Apple Pencil 2 is very handy for drawing or editing videos 8. Software and device integration (Procreate, Lumafusion, Keynotes) is very nice and convenient to work with
Cons
  • 1. Little battery life 2. On the current software version 13.4, it sometimes slows down and is buggy 3. There is not enough RAM for such a device, programs are periodically unloaded 4. Not the best front camera, for such a device it is much more important than the back 5. Screen sharing (AirPlay) at the moment there is no way to adapt the extension to the TV screen (as done on mac), which is why the TV shows stripes on the right and left 6. Apparently there is not enough power from the USB-C port, you can’t connect a gopro to it like a USB flash drive, you have to remove the mircoSD from the camera and insert it into a separate card reader 7. SmartFolio case made of some not very pleasant material to the touch, before that there was an ipad Air 2 and there the case was clearly more pleasant. Regarding the open edges of the device - it doesn’t matter, but it seems to be less protection, but for me, for example, nothing happened to the device for six months of use, although I wear it everywhere 8. Expensive. Costs like a good laptop!
