He is right though. They are about the same on single core. Surface is much faster at multi core tasks. Windows programs also have more room for optimization. Plus, graphic benchmark on iOS runs as low precision, so pro GPU is not actually faster than SP4 i5 GPU.
It weighs the same as the OG iPad. How did we ever manage with that monolith?
(Although the SP3 is basically the same weight and that does feel heavy)

Six Colors rounded up a few reviews of the iPad Pro and these three in particular stuck out to me: https://sixcolors.com/post/2015/11/a-few-more-ipad-pro-reviews-to-read/
Ben Bajarin's in particular was really eye opening. He talks about going to his daughters school, which is a 1:1 iPad school, and his impression of what he sees. It's clear that for a lot of us we're viewing these devices in now, but Ben is quick to point out they're for the future and the current mobile generation.

This is so true. Unless you're a content creator, traditional computers are becoming less and less important. It's sad, but it is the reality. I only use my desktop when using 3D software, some gaming or photoshop. Rest of the time I'm on a phone, iPad or console.

Baby boomers, too.
Hell, my roommate uses a phone for everything. Terrible experience, but he does.
I'm completely okay with all of this, too. I just would like a way to easily (not side load, etc.) install apps from places other than the App Store when we come to that point. I'm not comfortable with Apple, and in effect, the government, having control of what software I can access or not.
waiting for mine to be delivered, should be within the next 2-3 hours. I need to find a good case/screen protector. The case on my air was the best ever, so I hope I find a similar one.
Also I want to see the breakdown cost of the pencil, that thing cant cost more than $5 to manufacture

Again, that's true when you're comparing A5. I know Microsoft has the A3 for price point consideration, but it's almost criminal if folks get the $100 cheaper A3 vs A5 given the performance differences.

Any impressions regarding drawing? Saw a couple of video reviews, but they didn't do much with the pen.
This video that Doc Holliday linked to yesterday shows how accurate the tracking is on the pen. Scroll down to see the 240 FPS video of iPad Pro vs Surface.

Well one thing to consider is that it's not just the total mass but also how the mass is distributed. That greatly effects how we perceive weight.
In the case of the iPad 1 vs iPad pro. Assume if we were to hold both in the same orientation, one handed, from a single edge (no resting on the forearm). Even though they are both about the same mass because the Pro is longer, it will generate more torque on our wrist and thus feel heavier.
Thank you. Will take a look right now.

Sketchbot aka Steve Talkowski was able to record a periscope at an apple store. It's pretty short, seems he got cut off while recording. He is a huge apple fan but he also uses a cintiq for his work so he would know if the pencil is any good.

Hopefully Shog will get his hands on one soon. I'll try and find a store with a demo pencil sometime this week.
Jesus Periscope video quality is taking me back to VHS days.
Best video I have seen of an artist using the Pencil with Procreate

It's the trucks vs cars analogy Jobs made when first discussing the "Post PC" era. He was absolutely right.
The only PC I use at home is for gaming. I have a PC at work for work. My casual computing is all done on an iOS device.
I do have a Mac Mini but I haven't turned it on in months. It's completely neglected.

Thanks! Haven't seen this one yet.

The standard answer is to check completed auctions on Ebay. Not that hard to check.
Personally, I bought a Silver iPad Air 2, 64GB, Cellular for $450 last week from someone on Craigslist. It was in mint condition with original box and materials.
That looks fantastic.
Best Buy next to me has a bunch of gold in stick but nothing else.
I sold my air 1 -32gb for 250. I would think upwards of 400?

Is Apple seriously keeping the 5 by 4 icon layout on a tablet this big?
Tap the white divider between the two apps, and it will go into proper Split View, and you can drag the divider to change the size of the apps. what you are looking at right now is just Slide Over.
holy shit....I love you
5 minutes with this thing, its so fun. Its been a little buggy though. my apple store is showing 5 notification icon, because of the 5 apple apps. cant get it to go away even after reboot. But this screen. WOW

The "one time apple decided not to do something and now they decided to do something vaguely related to the thing they once decided not to do - GOT 'EM!" thing doesn't really work that well imo

Comics are a huge reason why I'm interested in one of these. Also because I am using an iPad 2 and really need to upgrade, ha.

I've used Wacom tablets for a long time, but this is really impressive. The low-latency, fluidity, and subtlety of gradations are really nice. If only I didn't have to wait another freakin week for my Pencil to arrive. The only negatives I see on the Pencil are the lack of eraser tip and the constant tap-tap-tap sounds when drawing. But not major drawbacks.

I wish it had an extra button. I guess apps could use finger touch as an eraser or color picker.

Comics are a driving force for me as well. Plus the wife is using an iPad 3, so she'd love my retired Air.
Magic, it looks perfect.

It's nice but you can do this with an iPad Air 2...
This is what I hated about The Verge's review. She talks about "multitasking" like it's a feature only available on the iPad Pro.
News flash: it's not.
Ooook I know that but it's still new to me and handy. That's all I was saying.
Why do you use mobile GAF. Is it better?
