[Closed] I tested Apple & won!

While the thought of a Pro is very appealing, I can't justify that sort of expense. My iPad 3 really is getting a bit slow and cranky, it just doesn't have the RAM to cope with many web pages these days, so I'll be looking at an Air, but I want to be able to use the Pencil as well; there's a new photo-editing app coming with very powerful capabilities for masking, etc, so being able to use the Pencil for painting masks and other fine work would be very useful.
3Gb of RAM and 128Gb of storage would suffice.
Unless the Lottery coughs up tonight, in which case all options are open! 😀

What did you win? A new ipad? Or just a warm fluffy feeling of superiority?

Where's that Colin Firth GIF when you need it

The real answer is you don't need a Pro for emailing, googling, STW or Notes. Its really a device with the power of a fully fledged PC in tablet form. Some people in our organisation are testing Pro's as a PC replacement. All our files and docs are on our LANs so RAM isn't an issue. No reason why they wont work perfectly well.

Sticking it to the Man, huh? Go you! 🙂

I had a pot noodle for lunch.

I use my Pro all the time at work, now, for sketching, note taking and annotations, all using the Pencil. I can then send sketches round immediately without having to digitise them, and I can keep them for ever instead of having to leaf back through months' worth of notebook looking for the one sketch I need …

And my point is? Don't know, don't care 🙂

Is an iPad Pro better for slither.io than a standard iPad Air? tempted...

pro is nice - i'm certain i don't use more than 10% of its capability but it is very good at what i use it for.

and slitherio is just crack.

Mate of mine bought an Apple laptop for £1850. As far as I can tell he uses it to browse the web, and erm....not a lot else.

Bargain. He reckons I should get one too.

I was ignorant and had never heard of slither.io until 5 minutes ago 😐

Thanks bails, Alan is an acceptable substitute

I'm testing Gboard what do I win?

You're all welcome. It was an attempt to calm the forum after the football and euro threads had got a bit exciting, and on that note, I think I've achieved my goal a little.

Sent from my iPad mini 2 wifi only with Logitech keyboard case.

I don't get the Pro either - it's powerful but runs iOS so you're locked into apps, right? It seems a lot like that crazy beautiful Chromebook which looks stunning but runs everything in Chrome.

I use a Surface, it can run all my CAD software, Lightroom, I can test run PHP scripts in a virtual machine on it, etc. I hankered after a new iPad recently so had a serious look at the Pro, but really couldn't see the point so bought an Air. the Air is great for what I bought it for - playing games and the like.

I'd quite like an 8gb transformer chi as it looks like nigh on laptop power with half the bulk

I tested Bugatti and won.

I walked into the showroom "I use this van for delivering stuff to people, and going to the shops and stuff" I said
"Convince me to buy a Veyron"

They couldn't find adequate justification. yay!

Little victories eh.

Little Victory's

I find my iPad 3 fine for reading pdf etc as that's all I use it for.
