Revainrating 5 out of 5

A wonderful product, its nice to use.

I purchased a tablet for business tasks - taking notes at meetings / negotiations (and nothing will be lost even after years and can be conveniently sorted, and you can also quickly turn on recording from a voice recorder in 1 click on a note . I use Notability), work with electronic by mail, with documents (moreover, they are included almost in full size). From entertainment - YouTube / movies / TV shows on such a diagonal are simply gorgeous. Sites open in the desktop version, which is understandable - the diagonal is comparable to full-fledged laptops. When buying, I came across a version with LTE (PCT, stale in a small store) at a regular price . Before that, there were other tablets (iPad of various versions up to pro 10.5 / 12.9 (2nd), Samsung tab) - all only wi-fi, Internet distributed from the phone. On the one hand, it is very convenient to get a tablet anywhere with prepared documents from the cloud, without dancing with connecting to networks / distributing from the phone. On the other hand, it seems that autonomy sank because of this. iPad 12.9 (2nd - the last one with a button) lived with me for about 3-4 days, right there - 2 days even with a very moderate load. Of course, automatic synchronization between Apple devices is very pleasing. I took a photo on an iPhone, it is already in the cloud and is available on the iPad in the stock application. I copied the text on the tablet, pasted it on the working mac. etc. Could I do without a tablet? Definitely yes. But this device makes my life a little easier, my work more productive, and my trips/flights less boring. If you feel sorry for the money (which is not surprising with such a large price tag), I recommend taking the 11 inch version, or even the old pro 10.5. ipad pro 12.9 2nd (with thick frames) - just huge, I could not get used to it and sold it. The previous generation (with thin frames) is almost no different (you can safely take it), but also at a price. ipad pro 2022 on m1 is a little more difficult - the main problem is that it costs an order of magnitude more expensive (in my case, 50% more expensive, both versions are from the store), and there are not so many resource-intensive applications.

Pros
  • Large and high quality screen. Excellent performance Great sound. Thin frames (probably optimal between their thickness and ease of use). face id Apple ecosystem.
Cons
  • Personally, I lack autonomy a little (almost every day on charging). ipadOs is still far from full-fledged work like on a laptop - working with files is zero, many operations can be done only with strong crutches and it's easier to get to a laptop. Marked glass (without oleophobic), but in fairness - it is anti-reflective. Probably, both of these qualities cannot be combined at once. Of the minuses of the current situation - there is not enough fingerprint scanner (it cannot be unlocked in the mask). No 3.5 jack (although not too relevant now) And, of course, the exchange rate of the against the dollar .
