#TEXTASTIC BLUETOOTH KEYBOARD PRO#
I spent about 15 minutes using the new Apple iPad Pro Keyboard, and a bit less using the Logitech Create keyboard. But initial impressions are very positive, and if you do find a store with a Pencil in stock, seriously consider picking one up.

When I finally do pick one up, my girlfriend will put together a full review of it for the site, from an artist and illustrator's perspective. IPad Pro fits in my 13-inch laptop backpack And I was ready to buy one, except the Apple Stores don't have them in stock, and might not for the next month. After a half hour of use, my girlfriend was ready to switch to using the Pencil for all her sketches and game concept art illustrations. Closer to putting ink on paper than any other digital illustration method I've tried. In our (admittedly brief) use of the Pencil, it worked great. It refreshes at a much faster rate than other iOS styluses, and uses guesswork to feel even more responsive. In compatible apps, it supports pressure sensitivity and angles. It feels different than any stylus I've ever used – much closer in design to a physical pencil than to other styluses. I don't own an Apple Pencil yet, but I spent some time using it at the Apple Store, as did my artist girlfriend. When I'm getting ready to go to sleep, I don't want to fumble with plugging in speakers or untangling headphones, so I've been using the tinny mono speaker on the old iPad Air 2.
For the vast majority of situations – gaming, background TV, background music, FaceTime – the iPad Air 2's speakers are excellent.
I was skeptical that small speakers, angled away from the user's ears, would be capable of generating good stereo sound. The iPad Pro doubles as a better-than-HD TV The speakers themselves are larger and louder than those of other iOS devices, creating more sound in addition to better sound. Regardless of how you're holding the iPad, the system is smart enough to route sound through each speaker in such a way as to create a full stereo sound field. The iPad Pro is the first iOS device to feature discreet, separated speakers – 4 of them actually – for true stereo sound at any orientation. Thanks to the 2X faster GPU, games run better on the iPad Pro than they do on the cutting-edge iPad Air 2. Thanks to the dual-core 2.2GHz A9X processor, opening apps side-by-side doesn't degrade performance. Thanks to improved RAM and storage bandwidth, apps download and open faster than ever before. Thanks to the 4 gigs of RAM, applications stay open for hours in the background and Safari allows many tabs open without requiring random refreshes.

Updating to the latest beta of iOS 9.2 makes both of these devices run as smooth as butter it will surprise me if Apple doesn't push out this update very soon.Īside from that, the iPad Pro is a powerhouse. There is one caveat: the version of iOS 9.1 that shipped with the iPad Pro suffers a few areas – multitasking, spotlight search, folder management – with choppy animations. IPad Pro plays games just as well as iPad Air 2

The fact that it doesn't feel like an upgrade from the previous model should not be taken as a negative – the Pro has twice as much work to do, pushing a vastly larger screen. Which is to say, it feels really, really fast. The iPad Pro feels almost identical to the iPad Air 2. The larger size does make it more difficult to use in bed – the iPad Pro is the first iPad that feels designed for use on a desk. The iPad Pro fits right into my iPad carrying bag of choice, along with my SteelSeries Stratus and keyboard. Neither fit in a pocket, so you'll already be carrying a small bag. The larger size doesn't make the Pro significantly more difficult to transport than the Air. The iPad Pro is far larger than the Air and Mini

I can use a code editor on the left and a preview on the right, with a video playing in picture-in-picture, and not feel the slightest bit cramped. For working with documents, it's amazing. It's effectively the size of two standard iPads next to each other. I've been using it steadily for the past 2 days, and while that is not enough time for a good review, it is enough for me to have some initial impressions. So after waiting in line at the Apple Store yesterday, I went home the proud owner of a fully-stocked gold iPad Pro. As such, the prospect of a large-screen, multitasking-optimized iOS device is compelling to me. I've used the iPad as my primary computer for every aspect of AfterPad for the past 6 months, only breaking out the laptop for advanced photo editing.
