When I get the Pencil (Apple, hurry up!), more on that then… On another plus side, it's possible to open it up and fold it out so you can use the iPad as an iPad without removing the keyboard - and the fact that it is powered by the new connector is nice - no more charging the keyboard battery… As a result, it's a little disappointing, but the feel of it is so much nicer to me than the Apple keyboard for the Pro I am willing to put up with it. More problematical is that sometimes, the keyboard misses letters when I type - I may be typing too fast, but I don't think I am that fast! LogiTech, I think you can do a little better. On the less positive side, firstly (and understandably) it makes the device much larger and heavier, but still I think less than my MacBook. I particularly like that it (a) lights up - nice on planes and such… And (b) forms a very nice case for the machine itself. On screen keyboard is much improved and the number row is a nice addition. Split screen works really well with this size, but it's annoying that I can't run the same app side by side (I imagine there are some technical reasons for this, but I think we can safely assume they are not insurmountable). Music, movies, gaming, very immersive (I had trouble understanding the various reviews that talk about its immersive properties, but now I get it). It's big! I can see the screen even with my aging eyes! And the sound is, to put it simply, superb. I will cover the successes and failures, frustrations and rewards, and, since very few people will ever see it, it's written for me, to remember the things I've done and remind me if I forget some of the tricks. This set of pages is about how I migrated from the Mac, to the iPad exclusively.

A pencil (on back order, still waiting!).A Logitech light up keyboard (liked its feel much better than the Apple one, and when I attach it, it makes a nice case too).I'll be using both) I walked out of the store with: A short time after playing with it, and the Pencil (now I have a Pencil by 53 and it's a work of art, but the sheer accuracy of the Apple device won me over. On my return I was all hung ho for the MacBook until I stopped to think… Why would I want to replace my (aging but souped up) Pro for a smaller, slower device, except for size? I wanted those interaction modes, you'll recall (as an aside, sitting on a plane on the way home trying to type on the MacBook with the person in front fully reclined was a nightmare, and again the iPad shown through - stick it on your tray and type away on the screen, no fuss and lots less room).Ī luck would have it, the iPad Pro was also available at the Apple Store. On a recent trip to Dagstuhl I tried using the Air as exclusively as possible - note taking, recording thoughts, browsing, searches, presentations… A colleague also had a new MacBook and I played a little with it too (I love the size!). I started using Apple devices many years ago (in around 1987/88 actually, with a wonderful Mac Plus!) and I'm uncomfortable with Windows - don't get me wrong, I am quite appreciative of the strides made in that OS, but it's just not something I want to spend time figuring out (yes, I did just say that… sigh). So, I needed a solution - something thin, light, good battery, powerful, allowing for a multitude of interaction styles, you know… Oh, and for my sins, or whatever, I'm kind of locked in to this ecosystem. Sadly no longer (and honestly, my eyes are not up to the wee screen any more, but it seems to me a shade ridiculous to be so loaded down. It's odd because not that long ago I travelled exclusively with the Nokia N900, a truly unique tool that allowed me to do much more with so much less. The iPad I use for note taking whilst I work on the MacBook. I travel, to conferences and such, and usually take my MacBook Pro, the iPad Air, the iPhone, dongles and all kinds of chargers and such. I have really enjoyed using the devices for media consumption, and there are now many tools for media creation, development, sharing and creating ideas. I started with a 3, moved quickly to an Air. Figure \ref dividedīy Morocco and the southern country of Mauritania.For a while I've had an iPad. The typesetting began being stuck when I added this paragraph The Gross Enrolment Ratio is the \``number of students enrolled in a given level of education, regardless of age, expressed as a percentage of the official school-age population corresponding to the same level of education''(``Gross enrolment ratio - UNESCO UIS", 2017). Could you please help me because my typesetting is stuck.
