Review on πŸ’» Renewed Apple iPad Pro (12.9-inch, 256GB, Wi-Fi) - Silver (4th Gen, 2020) by Wiktor Redziski ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I am satisfied, the purchase is quite successful.

Owned a perfect and wonderful ipad pro 12.9 2022 for about three years, but when they announced support for working with an external monitor, I just swam. I was frustrated by the lack of such an opportunity before. Since the generation 12.9 of 2022 was simply thrown away, there was nowhere to go (I'm sure the 2022 version, perhaps even 18 years old, would have pulled this mode of operation in the same way and without a single lag, had it been the will of the manufacturer). As a tablet, this ipad is as good as all models before it, there is no difference in interaction between them. I would sit with my past for another three years, until the battery there completely degraded. But the additional functionality with the monitor really seduced me. Apart from my smartphone, the ipad is always my only computer device. Starting something extra only for personal needs and because of the viewing behind the monitor was redundant and somehow stupid. But the monitor itself, one way or another, there will always be. And even if my dilapidated monitor is only fhd, but the available display area of ​​27 inches seriously changes the perception of information. Now, in addition to the convenience of having an ipad on the go, in a car, in bed, I got a cannon-like opportunity with it to turn around almost completely at the table, with a connected monitor and peripherals. I appreciated it very much, it really was not enough for a long time. In short, if you definitely connect an external monitor - definitely take 21 or 22 years old, if not, stay with your current ones, they are all incredibly good. I did not find any other reason to ate.

Pros
  • Whole, like all 12.9 inch iPads since 2022. Ideal computer for the humanities)
Cons
  • Specific backlight MiniLED display, creating halos. But this phenomenon is only noticeable when you view something very light on the ipad on a black background and in the darkness surrounding you, without external light sources. Only in this case, the ideal uniformity of black will be absent. Actually, it's not that critical. During the day, in any light, this screen is barely distinguishable from OLED. One usb-c is not enough, I want at least another 3.5 mm jack and, ideally, magsafe. After all, seemingly forgotten HDMI and a card reader were returned to macbook (pro). Stage Manager - I expected more, but I'm already high. I just hope that the jambs will be corrected.
