martineverest: if they power PCs( ARM based) were OK for professionals, Y did Apple switch to Intel?
A10 is more powerful than x86 Where are u getting this lie from?
ARM processors aren't powering WoA directly but Microsoft is using emulation(software) to achieve the that feature... This is what Apple can't do due to Intel ownership of X86 patent
Oga, lightroom and Co aren't pro softwares but sub par pro apps.... Professional designers use full photoshop
The first Microsoft surface pro failed cos it was based on Arm processor usage, which couldn't run powerful softwares.... As a result Microsoft lost 90 million dollars. Not until Microsoft ⚅ released sp3 with Intel core I series did surface become successful
Oga, IOS isn't a full OS....... Know the difference btw RISC and CISC .it will give an insight about ios/androis and Mac OS/windows differences.... A diesel truck is totally incomparable with bugatti in terms of heavy usage
timilehin007: animal u belong to the Bush blood sucking pest. please spell out the errors for me..I will correct it. The day we stop learning is the day we die..so professor point out the errors..
worthless mothèrfucking piece of shìt
If you can't see them, you're already beyond help.
ikp120: Who told you that she didn't mention the True Tone?
I watched the video and she mentioned that feature.
A cursory mention of a flagship feature while she spends ages gushing about speakers in a product that's marketed more for visual artists than audiophiles?
MissTechy: Normally, I shouldn't respond to this, but...
First off - THIS IS AN UNBOXING & FIRST IMPRESSION!
Second, if you listened closely you'd realize that I did mention the true tone display.
I — Oluwatobi Dorcas Ayeni, A digital strategist not a creative — would not replace my Macbook 2016 (Which is also a powerhorse) for the iPad 10.5 because I LOVE MY TRACKPAD,so come and beat me. Lastly, the Samsung Galaxy S3 tab, which is an iPad Pro 10.5 inch competitor ships with the "Stylus" or "Pen" — Yes, I love calling it Pen instead of Pencil — So what is Apple's excuse for not adding something similar?
Your last comment? Well, that is your opinion!
No one asked you to replace your Macbook, so stop making it seem as if Apple is marketing their product that way. They still make the damn Macbooks to satisfy the mass market.
And as for you not normally replying to comments that point out the flaws of your "impressions", well that makes you a terrible "reviewer" who's close-minded to criticisms, valid or not, to make you improve. For now you'll remain a shallow tech reviewer with the followership of a gang of know-no-better pitchfork-wielding salad tossers who feel compelled to rise against criticisms of your ludicrously poor content.
martineverest: totally wrong comment.. IPad pro is never and can never be a pro product......... Hardwarewise, iPad pro can never be a pro product without x86 processor,track pad, mouse etc..... Don't forget how cook laughed at Microsoft surface with ''gorilla arm' mockery. Y is Apple now practicing gorrilla arm philosophy. Criticizing the OP for mentioning lack of trackpad is the most appalling part of ur comment.... How do u expect professionals sitting on the chairs to use tablet positioned on desk to keep stretch their hands for 8hrs.
Softwarewise, Apple iPad pro can never be a professional device without full operating system. This is where surface pro have an upper hand...... Can iPad run professional softwares like CAD, photoshop, Ms office, Swift, visual studio etc?
Surface pro isn't successful because of its pen or interface but cos of its form factor, versatility and hardware.. Imagine a desktop hardware reduced to the a 12 inch tablet and and its as light as an ipadUr research on surface pro success shows u don't know much about gadgets
IPad pro True tone isn't its killer feature but it's screen refresh rate of 120hz and ios11
Make research B4 spewing trash. U are just one of apple's numerous nut huggers
Misstechy, ur review might not be the best like that of MKBHD or Theverge, but Thumbs up for u
You obviously have no idea what pro means if you think productivity is strictly tied to x86. Remember all those old Apple computers used by virtually every professional including Pixar and Disney?
Guess what? They were PowerPC based, not x86.
The Apple A10 Fusion and A11, fabbed in the 10nm, are more powerful than the 4th grn Intel chips, and are fast approaching the single and multi thread power of current desktop class CPUs.
CPU makers are now concerned less with pure power, and more with thermals. And when it comes to thermals, nothing beats ARM-type CPUs. Hope you know a version of Windows 10 will soon run on ARM CPUs and will run full desktop apps on a hypervisor.
Let that sink in for a minute: ARM chips will emulate x86 chips!!
So rid yourself of the misconception that modern ARM architectures cannot run poweful desktop class apps. They already do.
As for professionals using trackpads....well, Surface Studio, Wacoms, Surface Pro, and iPad Pro are designed for visual creativity and content, not coders. Designers, artists, photo editors etc use a direct touch interface such as a pressure sensitive pen and the Surface Dial to manipulate pixels. Ever seen a graphics artist using a trackpad to draw on his digital canvas?
And i honestly have no idea what you mean that Surface can never be a Pro device without a full OS. You think iOS, which shares the same kernel and frameworks layer with OS X, is not a full OS? Just because Apple uses it on a mobile device?
Photoshop Fix / Mix and Adobe Lightroom run on the iPad.
And visual studio is for an entirely different market segment.
There's Swift Playgrounds available for the Ipad.
So to recap:
Pro means a device or app for professional or productivity users. It's not tied to a single CPU architecture only. The iPad Pro is a powerful tablet designed for visual artists, not visual studio programmers.
Try to keep up before making long-winded comments founded on shaky knowledge.
JeffreyJamez: You obviously do not understand the meaning of UNBOXING.
No, you don't.
If it was just unboxing, she wouldn't mention refresh rates, resolutions, camera specs and whatnot. Is true tone any harder to talk about that screen refresh rates?
MissTechy: So, I got my review unit of Apple's new iPad Pro — the iPad Pro 10.5-inch which was launched in June. Do check out my unboxing and first impressions.
No mention at all about the ipad's killer feature: True Tone display?
Also you shouldn't review an iPad Pro without the Apple Pencil (yeah, not Apple Pen, as you call it)
Instead you're gushing about speakers.
The ipad Pro (Pro!) is aimed at creative types, not just mass market consumers.
So the true tone display and apple pencil are the killer features. Especially the tilt shading feature of the pencil.
But you reviewed (ahem) this product like it's the average ipad.
Also damn.....you like trackpads? That's your number one reason for preferring a normal pc vs ipad?
Horsepower don't matter to you? Only trackpads?
Sorry, but a trackpad will conflict with the interface philosophy of ios.
I mean, the whole essence of tablet computing is touch interface and a stylus-type input device. The sole reason ios devices exist is for touch HID.
Microsoft surface is successful cos of the Microsoft pen and the touch interface, else it'd not sell better than the ultrabooks out there. The keyboard is an optional accessory and that's why it's not natively bundled.
timilehin007: animal u belong to the Bush blood sucking pest. please spell out the errors for me..I will correct it. The day we stop learning is the day we die..so professor point out the errors..
timilehin007: U are not smart at all..the other tribes are probably and obviously more civic on like u people that could kill ur family member to be in position..ur lives are worthless to ya'll no wonder u cherish ur cow than ur lives. the east and south values there lives. Your thirst for blood is absolutely outta this world..too barbaric to be among the learned culture like the yorubas and igbos. Mali would have been a perfect place for you to belong to..
blood sucking p3sts you think it is a coincidence that Boko haram and fulani herdsman operates from the north? no, it's due to u people thirst for blood and not valuing ur lives
Your rage and anger excites me.
More, you fukking loser, more!
Scream your heart out! Feed me with your frustration!
Vent, motherfukker. Vent your hopelessness out!
Yes!!!
PS: Are you gonna blame all your spelling and grammar errors on autocorrect again?
Or are you too demented to realize you're just dumb?
timilehin007: may God punish and curse ur generation..those are obvious mistakes caused by auto correct and auto spell fool. olori buruku from the north..with everything shifted to ur dirty stinking north you still the most underdeveloped and less educated in nigeria... at times I wonder what my offence was to make God create me among u animals
If we're animals and you're superior to us.....how come we got everything shifted to the north and you're left with nothing but your tepid rage and the desperation to flee to Kenya and Tanzania?
timilehin007: after only those with burn to rule mentality will remain in their cursed and fùcked up hell-hole called Nigeria...the only thing still holding me down is my daughter I swear I wouldn't mind nationalism from Tanzania or Kenya...(kibiwot and Tiah are helping me to relocate to Kenya in kusumu ) am not rolling the possibility out yet though... Nigeria is finished i pity those who still have hope in this malfunctione system headed by greedy set of politifians..
as far as Nigeria I'd concern..all hope is lost
am in my house come an beat me daura secret service DSS and Buhari media center BMC
please I use God beg u don't quote to abuse me unless u are on my side..I begged u oooooooo. .before calamity befall ur genetations
With your atrocious spelling we'll gladly want you to migrate away before you keep embarrassing us too much.
Hernyolar: Good day familylanders. I come here to air my current dilemma and ask for a way out. I'm married with a kid, got separated with my husband last year Jan due to some little issues that weren't managed properly and got escalated.. We stayed in touch for A year cos of child welfare and the rest. He obviously had a relationship with another lady in his base, while I remain single Sometimes this year, we started talking about reconciliation and the talks went well, we've seen our mistakes and accepted to work on the marriage. He confessed to me he had a relationship with a lady but he told he was married with a child and he wasn't going to divorce his wife neither marry her (the lady) so twas a deal sort of and he has broken up with her ( which she confirmed)
He's come to see me in my place and I got posted for an official assignment to his state..He told me the girl has refused to leave even after he told her he has reconciled with his wife and the rest.
I got in yesterday and all hell was let loose, the lady was so violent and was saying all manner of trash,threatening fire and hailstone.. I simply asked her, do you know he was married? Did he tell you we were divorced?? Did you see my things in the house? She answered "yes". She said she has no place to go..I was even willing to give her something to take care of herself but she said " no", she wanted my husband and I should start realising she will become a second wife..
My husband in all this have been calling people to talk to her and go without violence..She's called my in-laws to curse(dunno how she got their numbers)... calling friends to tell them she isn't moving out of the house
It's really messy here and I don't want to create a scene..someone advised me I should involve the Civil defence authority.
helpee: lol. You are such an slowpoke. You are the one that decides which law Senate evoked that is valid and which one is not valid. Coincidentally all the laws they invoked against your Apc led govt is invalid while all the ones against the former regime is valid. Professor of law....you are insane
Niggah i just rekt you!
You got pwned bigly.
I went war wolf up your ass baby.
You got so rekt you can't ever respawn.
If i was you, I'd hang my head in shame and walk away from this disaster you brought upon yourself.
But then, fools have always been suckers for punishment.
helpee: i just have a little time for a slowpoke today. So the same saraki led Senate that you never believed could lay a golden egg for restructuring nigeria because they insisted on magu sack is the same you are now hailing as the law because they summoned a past president. When they said the executive should remove magu, they are lawless but when they summoned former president it is the law. Confirmed you are stupid. And for your information, there is no past American president that don't have enough scandals following their presidency to warrant a summon. Just that you are stupid not to know is not enough. Afterall, you are a only a rabbid fool. Idiot
It really saddens me to see how glaringly stupid you're. You're so full of crap you're painfully incoherent.
Magu's issue is a legal gray area, hence the meeting between osinbajo and some SANs.
GEJ's apparent complicity in the malabu scam is one that beggars questions and probes.
The past US presidents you mention as having scandals have not broken any laws.
Nixon, who for a long while obfuscated his complicity in the watergate break-in, was guilty of questionable conduct unbecoming of his office, and was thus to be impeached before he resigned. His accomplices, the ones who sanctioned the break-in, were jailed.
Reagan had iran contra, questionable yes, but no US law was broken.
Bush had nothing illegal, nor clinton besides the perjury case, Bush Jr had nothing besides bankrupting America in foolhardy wars authorized by capitol hill, obama had nothing, so far Trump is under investigation for possible collusion with Russia and probable obstruction of justice.
So what do you have? Know of any past US president who broke the law, was supposed to be summoned to senate, but wasn't?
I've given you examples where presidents from Ford to Clinton were deposed under oath. But you've given me nothing besides the vacuity of your ill-informed opinions.
As for my post you quoted, i was basically referring to assholes such as your humble self, who delusionally believe the current crop of leaders would want to restructure nigeria and give up their profligate lifestyle.
Where the context eludes you is in this: the lawlessness and incompetence of saraki and co is not synonymous with the sanctity of the law.
If saraki breaks the law or acts in a manner that questions his powers, it does not mean the same senate he leads cannot invoke valid portions of the law to investigate GEJ and crew.
Get that point into your thick useless skull, you demented halfwit.
Your entire worldview is predicated upon a few US tv shows and a flimsy grasp of world affairs, yet that somehow validates your misinformation in the wedge-shaped core of darkness that constitutes your feeble, pathetic, ignorant life.
You're less than the yellow pus of a squished zit. Now go hug your scabrous mother for comfort. Because your miseducation is leaking.
helpee: I don't discuss with fools. I was asking you normal questions like a gentleman. Most of you guys on nairaland have empty brains. Once you see somebody calls you out, you resort to insult. I asked you, have you ever seen any former American president faced a committe following a summon before . Capital no. Sitting presidents face congress at different times so it is nothing. They face congress to defend budgets etc . And if you are to be impeached, it is left for you to honour invitation wether you like it or not. If the Senate decide to say Buhari must come out and face them today to prove he is medically fit or get impeached, the cabal will organise a kangaroo show. It is different from summoning else president. And next time don't argue with me again if you know you have no other sense that to start throwing insults. Baboon
There it is!
The gross exhibit of your metal incapacity hewned by the bigotry of your background.
You keep braying like a constipated donkey about former US presidents. Tell me what scandal trailed one that would warrant a summon, and where the US congress/senate waived it off on account of "respect".
You can't provide any instance. Instead, being a bush boy, you keep carping on about it.
From your very first comment i suspected you were an utter fool.
But i indulged you thinking perhaps you were just naive.
Thank you for removing all doubts and confirming my suspicions.
Now fukk off, you dolt.
Go read a book or two and learn something, you stupid clod.
helpee: you have said nothing. Bill Clinton was not an ex president that time. He was a president facing impeachment proceedings. Just name a single former president of America that has been summoned by a house committee before? The office of the president is the highest office. Ex president are respected out of courtesy. It has nothing to do with being above the law like you were insinuating. And my trip to Scandinavian countries will tell me exactly what?
You've betrayed your ignorance by your statement:
"Bill Clinton was not an ex president that time. He was a president facing impeachment proceedings."
A sitting president facing impeachment charges because he supposedly denigrated the office of the President and was guilty of perjury.
A sitting president was made to face the law.
And you're here spouting nonsense about an ex-president.
In any sane society no one is above the law. Whether ex-president or sitring president, you contravene the law and you face its wrath, respect or not.
If Obama or any past president has any case, congress will summon him in his capacity as a private citizen.
That's how a sane society functions.
But you're too clouded by your stupidity to see that.
