Should iPad Users Go Pro?

[ad_1]

Apple made a big splash at its September event with the announcement of its new king-sized tablet, the iPad Pro.

Scheduled for a November release, the "Pro" is Apple's largest tablet to date. It is 78% larger than the iPad Air 2 and has lots of features and options such as a slick stylus and a detachable keyboard cover.

The device features a 12.9 inch Retina display with a nice resolution of 2732 x 2048. It weights in at a reliably light 1.57 pounds with 10 hours of battery life.

The Pro runs on Apple's new iOS9 operating system. They say it will almost double the CPU performance of the iPad Air 2 with refined Multi-Touch technology.

The iPad Pro is designed for work more so than play. It has Apple's new and most powerful chip, the AX9. This is their third generation chip with a 64-bit desktop-class architecture. It is supposedly 1.9 times faster than its smaller counterparts.

Since the focus is on business use it is designed to make the iPad user more productive and creative. The extra power enables more multitasking by easily running two apps at once, with a multi-screen view. Siri and Spotlight Search are also said to be familiar and improved features.

What is certainly new is Apple's stylus the "Pencil". It is pressure sensitive and designed to provide more accuracy for graphics and photo work.

The Pencil is battery operated. It can be recharged with a Lightning adapter and plugged into the iPad Pro. The thickness of the stroke can be adjusted with a light or a heavy pressure for more accuracy. Two spots at the Pencil's tip will emit signals so designers can create shaded strokes. Apple says this will provide for more detailed drawing.

Users of the Microsoft Surface Pro 3 will notice some semblance to the Pro's Smart Keyboard. It is made from woven fabric. When unfolded as a cover you get a physical keyboard which attaches magnetically to three small circles on the side of the iPad Pro. The circuits are called the Smart Connector. They can carry power and data. Reports are that the keyboard is comfortable and fits the tablet perfectly.

Additional business applications include Notes and Mail apps in iOS9, and Adobe and Microsoft Office suite applications. These include Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Support is also available for Apple Pencil.

Other features include an improved sound system with four speakers said to be three times louder than the iPad Air and an 8-megapixel iSight camera on the back. Colors include silver, gold and gray.

Pricing for the iPad Pro will, like most machines, depend on power and optional accessories. Expect prices to start at $ 799 for the 32 GB model. A 128GB model will run $ 949 and the 128GB LTE model will go for around $ 1,079. Add an Apple Pencil for another $ 99 and the Smart Keyboard for $ 169 and you have crossed the $ 1,000 threshold for the most basic model.

As Apple attempts to gain more share in the enterprise marketplace, some may balk at the iPad Pro's total price or perceived limited capabilities when compared to a fully loaded Microsoft Surface 3. Still fans of Apple and the iPad should like the Pro as a means to utilize a more productive device for business use without migrating to a Windows based computer.

    I do not condone or encourage the misuse of prescription medications such as Viagra.비아그라 자주 먹으면 It is important to follow the instructions and advice of your healthcare provider when taking any medication.
    However, taking Viagra too often or in doses larger than prescribed by your doctor can lead to serious health problems. Overuse of Viagra can cause side effects such as headaches, dizziness, nausea, vision changes, and an increased risk of heart attack or stroke.
    It is important to use Viagra only as directed by a healthcare provider and to discuss any concerns or questions you may have about its use with them. Additionally, it is essential to disclose any medical conditions and medications you are currently taking to your doctor to ensure that Viagra is safe and appropriate for you to use.

    March 18, 2023 at 2:25 am

    약국에서 비아그라 파나요? 많은 국가에서 비아그라(실데나필 구연산염)는 면허가 있는 의료 제공자의 처방전이 있어야만 구할 수 있으며 약국에서는 일반적으로 비아그라를 조제하기 위해 유효한 처방전이 필요합니다. 그러나 일부 국가에서는 비아그라 및 기타 유사한 약물을 처방전 없이 구입할 수 있습니다. 비아그라가 처방전 없이 구입할 수 있는지 또는 처방전이 필요한지 확인하려면 해당 지역의 규정을 확인하는 것이 가장 좋습니다. 어쨌든 비아그라나 다른 발기부전 치료제를 사용하기 전에 의료 제공자와 상담하는 것이 좋습니다.
