iPad Pro, reviewed: Has the iPad become my main computer now?

The design, from the excellent-but-not-OLED LCD “Liquid Retina” display to the Face ID camera to the USB-C port to the magnetically attaching Pencil, is the same. The rear camera is the lone change, with a camera-squircle similar to the iPhone 11 family that also means you’ll need a new case to fit the different camera hole.

Adding more storage to the base model (128GB instead of 64GB), at least, means the $800 (or $1,000) base price is a real option to consider. Still, anyone editing video or working on graphics or 카지노사이트먹튀 art may consider the 256GB version instead.

There are other tweaks (Wi-Fi 6, which is nice for faster networking and better on-board microphones, for what it’s worth), but in many ways the 2020 iPad Pro proposition is similar to what it was in late 2018.

But consider a less expensive iPad for a trackpad update, too

The best news is that trackpad support is coming to tons of other iPads. In these chaotic times, you could easily stay with what you have and add trackpad support for free in an update.

This is a review in progress. I want to see more updated apps that finesse the trackpad (Apple’s suite of apps, including Pages and Numbers already show promise), and apps that use the new functions of AR. And I want to try a keyboard case that integrates the trackpad and see how that works, too.

This is the best iPad, but for its price it better be. It’s also closer to being my One Machine. But at this moment, based on what I’ve experienced, I love working on it… but I’ll still be using a laptop, too.
