Problem is that there are too many whiners who just whine with no knowledge of
what they're whining for <smile>.

Problem is with backpack I cannot record something on a website together with
cards, and a microphone. If those things cannot be done with more control ipad
pro is kind of a waste I think.

No, you can't record from a chosen input source from Native IOS Apps
as far as I know but you can from third-party Apps, Backpack Studio
itself for example, plug a microphone into the USB-C port, select it and away
you go.
The iPhone's lightning port doesn't have the power to support a lot of
accessories either.

Regarding your second point? Its horses for courses.
One of the lower end iPads would be a device that many would be
dreaming of.
The iPad Pro is a multi tasking dynamo without a doubt, that's
exactly what it was designed for, to bridge the gap between Tablet
and Notebook which it does very well.
As for an iPad doing things a Mac can't do? The gap is narrowing all
the time as I'm finding out.
There is another machine that doesn't seem to get the credit it
deserves and that's the iPod Touch 7th Generation, oh so small and
yet oh so powerful whether it be your music machine or your game playing pal.

Isn't shortcuts available when connecting a keyboard? I never heard
that you have to enable any shortcuts.
Each to there own, but if I think how much the pro cost, and that it
cannot do so much more than other ipads, and considering that there
are stil things you can do with a mac wich you cannot with ios, a
macbook air seems quite werth it to me.

A very general statement saying its not worth the money, as I said************
in my notes its all about what you want and what you expect from
your equipment.
Don’t forget that a MacBook Air isn’t getting up to the same amount
of money and a lot of the powerful Windows Notebooks are around the
cost of an iPad Pro, actually an iPad Pro may work out cheaper and
better value for money.
I’m somewhat disappointed with the MacBook Air in that it doesn’t
offer a touch screen as do many Windows Desktop machines for the
same price and even an iPad Pro, I use both Touch Screen and
Keyboard depending on the situation at hand.
Now speaking of the iPad Pro, does anyone know how to enable
keyboard shortcut controls for Apps such as Mail etc? I have this
facility available on my iPad mini and Air but not on the Pro.

Intresting, but honestly I don't see any reason for most voiceover
users how they can appreciate ipad pro. It is not worth the money
mostly. Nice device though.

Hi.************
I've had one of these for nearly a week now and would like to
share my first impressions.
Should you purchase an iPad Pro? Well that very much depends on
what you're interested in doing with your technology.
I would say that for most people the smaller iPad Air would be an
incredibly powerful tool that would suffice for most tasks.
The iPad Pro does however have a considerably better sound through
4 speakers and it is wonderful to fully emerse yourself in the
sound from the spekaers if you're watching a film, no doubt about
that.
The iPad Air has touch ID and the iPad Pro does not but - given I
use the magic Keyboard with the iPad pro for 99% of the time - no
touch ID is of little importance as I just type in my password.
I'm sure that - if I spared the time - I could adjust the angle of
the iPad Pro and get the Face ID working, that's something I'll
try at some stage.
Can you tell a difference in the performance of iPad Models? Say
iPad Mini, iPad Air and iPad Pro.
With Voiceover no, not a lot but there are some tasks I've noticed
that are dealt with in what seems a bolt of lightning with the
iPad Pro as compared to the other 2 models of iPad I mentioned and
they're mainly to do with searching or looking up databases, iPad
Pro seems to have a fondness for performing such operations <smile>.
I mentioned audio on the iPad Pro but I didn't mention the
supposedly studio quality microphones that come as part of the
iPad Pro package? I have to admit they sound - to me at any rate -
absolutely brilliant.
I've not tried any of my external microphones with the iPad Pro
yet and even if I do I don't think I'm going to be in for any big
surprises.
The next question I have is about what Apple may plan to do in the
future, whether the Macbook Air may be faized out in favour of the
Macbook Air?
There are some mighty good reasons to go down that path and I have
to admit to preferring the iPad Pro over the Macbook Air - I have
both machines - so will be interesting to see what happens down
the line.
