>shit keyboard without touchpad is 40 dollars extra


No this thing looks like a useless piece of shit, so everything still feels right

Serious question, what do people use these things for?

I can't find any real use for these ipad things.

I honestly wouldn't use one even if they paid me to have it. iOS is a joke.

>iPad
What's the purpose of even making those when you can just use a smartphone?

90% of the time I use mine for reading manga or shitposting away from my pc. Expensive way to do so, but it's pretty much replaced my laptop for portable web browsing around the house. I'd probably get a Galaxy Tab if I got a tablet now though.

Browsing the net from the comfort of one's own sofa... is nicer on a bigger screen.

manga

Why would you care about 4g on a tablet?
Just hotspot your phone when necessary and avoid paying an extra data bill.

Yes, we already know you're an idiot.

>, but it's pretty much replaced my laptop for portable web browsing around the house.
why would you do this?

>Yes, we already know you're an idiot.
Says the dumbfuck who thinks a tablet without 4G is okay.

>ipad
>can't do anything interesting with it
Why would I want to buy it?

It's always on, and very lightweight.
Am I being baited?

It doesn't respect your freedoms, you sheeple pleb.

Why not? It's much lighter and I can hold it with one hand lying down. If I have to do anything extravagant I get my laptop out or go to my desktop.

No, we know that you're an idiot so far.

interneting

It's a tool.
I bought it knowing it's limitations.
It does the things I ask of it.

Put your trip back on faggot.

Why would you buy an iPad mini now that they're more expensive than the 9.7"?

>
>Put your trip back on faggot.
hahaha, even anons here think you're the dumbest motherfucker alive

I have the IPad Air 2 and it's comfy as fuck to use in bed/on couch as a web browser or pdf reader. I'm not a big fan of iOS but the build quality and how thin and light makes up for it.

notes and browsing Sup Forums when taking a shit.

cheap macbook when?

and it still doesn't support webm natively

You can just use an external monitor.

Apple was always cheap shit, now they're just finally forced to sell at cheap prices due to competition.

Neck yourself for posting a Waifusona picture.

introducing the Macbook V.3 for 800 dollars.

Never, I think.
Cheapest Macbook is the Air and it's looking like it's going to get the axe, leaving the Macbook and the Macbook Pro lines.

That's nowhere near as comfy as a tablet

that's nowhere near as comfy as a book

That's nowhere near as comfy as a kindle

Not got web browsing, messaging, and the like.

>page turn speed
I'd get one if I could flick though a pdf quickly.

Pass, I will go for the upcoming Nvidia tablet.

the only macbook left with a usable keyboard and ports

I wish they'd just put in an IPS panel, maybe a usb-c and a newer processor and left it alone

Yeah I only use my kindle for reading books. PDFs is best on a tablet or computer.

>Low res
>Ips

I hate this retina meme.
Apple displays are shit compared to any decent OLED phone.
They should call this crap glaucoma

Hey there again ;^)

lmao this, watching movies on my touchgate 6+ was an overall terrible experience.

>watching movies on your phone in the first place

Can't beat contrast and color of OLED.
Also nice 2k display 551ppi

This.
However his point still can apply better to youtube videos and social media trash (most of it at least).

>messaging
>tablet
Just use a phone, dummy.

>59517060
friendly but firm reminder to filter this faggot and stop replying

Filtered. Thanks.

It would be a pretty big fuck you to customers if they lower the price the time the iPad pre-orders go live.

Yeah same here. I can't wait for a tablet with 2 hours battery life and a fan to cool it down on a OS with no tablet optimized software.

There's going to be a new Nvidia tablet?

Thats what the mac mini's entry price should be. Bring back 1st gen mac mini sized boxes but without optical drives and with the current design scheme for the higher end quad core ddr4 models. Leave the smaller dual core mac minis with ddr3

And make them upgradable, just where you can add a 3.5" ssd drive on a higher end mac mini. Standard pcie ssd on higher end models.

>329 dollar
>cheap

not bad but i wouldn't spend $329 on a tablet with no expandable memory
>2048×1536 on a 10 inch screen
>low res
you are like a little baby

>solder + socket + socketable
vs
>solder + solderable

Fewer steps = cheaper product.

Though I'd love for the Mac Mini to go back to the upgradability it had in 2012, I don't think it'll happen.
Their upgradable line is just going to be the Mac Pro.

Just copped an iphone7 plus buy 1 get 1 free

Just the ability to throw in a 3.5" ssd

2.5" ssd shit

2 bombs for the price of 1! Use them wisely mohamud asad.

ipad pro is honestly the best for drawing with the apple pencil. seriously nothing else compares. however its too expensive so i just use pen and pencil when out

>ipad pro is honestly the best for drawing
I had one for a couple of days before I returned it, my Surface 3 was way superior for drawing. But then again, I'm not some deviantard piece of shit that buys everything Apple to show everybody what a good artist I am.

is the surface as big as an ipad? i haven't tried it out yet, maybe i will. how well does it run drawing software like photoshop

The Surface is a tad smaller than the large iPad Pro.
I had the 9.7 Pro, that was seriously cramped for drawing.

Dont forget the iPhone SE which is the best budget phones.

iOS isn't all that bad when it's jailbroken

But jailbreaking in it's current state is fucked and there's no sign it will get better. Obviously because the main JB hub is on reddit and all they are all fucking idiots.

tfw I have an jailbroken iPad 4 stuck on iOS 8.4.1 and I won't upgrade it because why lose
>torrenting
>pirating tons of apps from iphonecake
>free IAPs
>file browser
>f.lux

I'd get an ipad but I can't put my doujins on it

So you literally have to hack ios devices to make them remotely useful as android devices that haven't been rooted? lmao

This is not trying to be a computer replacement. It doesn't have any of the pro features -- no pogo pin dock connector, no Apple pencil support, no dedicated smart cases (because the dimensions of this one has changed so it's slightly thicker so all of the old cases no longer work).

It doesn't need 4G. And all other tablets that have 4G would require the exact same $100+ USD price premium to get that antenna in it.

lmao just sftu dude, you clearly have the apple cock so far up your ass it comes out of your mouth.

>affordable
>$329

who the fuck would pay more than $150 for a tablet? Fucking idiots.

What an idiotic answer.

Really good porn device, i can take it to the bathroom to masturbate with the high quality screen, tits look great.

Im serious, i cant masturbate without my ipad

Really every tablet is a joke, just that Android tablet is a sad joke

I can't wait for Apple to crash. King faggot Tim cuck is gonna drive Applel into the fucking ground.

KEK

Tablets are 200% more enjoyable for media consumption. better screen size, resolution and battery.

An idiotic question. Rethink your life

Exactly.

I got it as a gift and I didn't feel like selling it. So at least I made some use of it.

but iOS without jailbreak? utter shit

however aosp android on tablets post-kitkat is even a bigger nonsense so iPads still kinda werk if you want to do normie shit.

but if you want to do productive shit and you really need the tablet form then surface/similar is the way to go

great for youtube and netflix

I use an iPad Mini 1 I won in a Paddlepops Ice Cream (when I still fell for the dairy meme) competition as a remove for my home theatre and to control my automation stuff.

>drawing on ipad pro
Tell me more.

Ok my Gripes about the iPad Pro
Palm rejection is a shitty hack. Your palm will draw on the screen, but on Apps like Procreate, it will automatically undo your palm drawing as soon as the pen touches the screen, also it is very easy to accidentally change the brush opacity or size.

The screen is slick as fuck, so it's very slippery and tilt is nowhere near as responsive as it is on a Cintiq or even a Galaxy Note 4 (or later).

There are some spots where the accuracy isn't dead on under the stylus, unacceptable on something that doesn't and cannot display a floating cursor.


The only good thing I've encountered is that it has very minimal input lag (very slightly better than Surface, noticeably better than Wacom) and the pencil is comfortable to hold.

I seriously don't get all the praise it has been getting other than the fact that it's an Apple product. A lot of artists that have tried a Cintiq or Surface prefer those over the iPad Pro in the majority of the cases.

Guess I have 14 days to thing about it.
Thanks. I'll look to see whether these things affect me.

iPad Air first gen owner here, this thing is 3 years old already, and still kicking ass, running the latest ios. The A7 chip is really impressive, still performing very nicely, no lags at all, battery still reaching 10 hours, I can't even imagine how the A9X Pro's does perform. I just wish I could multitask though, apple jewed this feature on the A7 models.

I will probably literally keep this thing fof more 2 years, then I will probably get a pro with the keyboard

Definitely take advantage of their return period.
You get to experience the joy of having a new product without the eventual regret.
>t. poorfag that returned $15k worth of Apple products

Same , original ipad air still going strong. The perfect tablet for watching movies/ netflix in bed or browsing the internet. The battery still lasts forever and it's always on and ready to be used. It's been worth every penny.

How long does iPad take to charge?

Currently on an iconiatab a500, love it so far but it's stuck on jellybean so I need to update soon. What I love most though is the propriety charger that gets it to 100% in roughly an hour and a half.

Hour and a half charge time, ~8 hours SoT over 3 days.
Can any modern tablet provide a similar experience?

>Kenshiro uses an iPad.webm

You can use the ipad for a dash board screen in a car.

Just received my iPad today and have plugged it in to charge.
The charger is a 12W USB wall wart.
Guess it doesn't have any quick charging technology.

Tablets containing Snapdragon processors and supporting quick charge technology can handle upto 18W of power with the appropriate charger.
So recharge in 2/3 of the time, I guess.

I have never owned a tablet or a apple device

Looking to play hearthstone, watch porn/youtube and chat on messenger.

Should i w8 for the new ipad or get some chink tablet

If you have money and don't want to thing about it, get the entry-level iPad.
You know it's going to be decent all-round.
Battery-life, security updates, etc.
It will be locked-down though, so treat it as an appliance instead of a computer.

kek

shill

first gen ipad charges fine overnight with stock charger and cable

He's not wrong. It pretty much is an appliance instead of a computer.

People aren't upgrading old ipads and they're having competition from chromebooks, shitty android tabs and win 10 notebooks and tablets

Why _wouldn't_ they make a cheap one

who the fuck treats phone/tablet as a computer lmao

Android can make a decent desktop experience with some hackiness

You can even install desktop Linux apps

but you don't use phone/tablet as a main computer so why would you want to make it act like one?
