Hands-on: iPad Pro – Telegraaf.nl

San Francisco –

Trends in the tech industry are cyclical. We first wanted a smaller and smaller phone, now it seems that bigger equals better. The same seems to apply in the tablet world, especially now that Apple’s new iPad Pro, with a screen of up to nearly 13 inches tall, has unveiled

The first acquaintance with the iPad Pro is a shock:! this thing is really big . With 12.9-inch device is as big as the screen of an average laptop. However, Apple’s clever that he 6.4mm and 713 grams yet is quite handy. It is lighter than the first iPad, which does time already quite cumbersome thing was called. He is probably still a bit too heavy to hold long in one hand, but he’s not really made for.

No, the iPad Pro is really meant for people who want to do something productive on their tablet . The large screen is exactly two iPad Air Displays wide, giving you thanks to the new multitasking features of iOS operating nine two full applications can run side by side. Think for example of a word processor left and right browser. As someone who works so for a while on the iPad Air 2 with a beta version of iOS nine I can say that the large screen of the Pro it is a relief in this.

For the rest behaves device literally as a great iPad, which of course should come as no surprise. Tablet really comes into its own with two accessories:. Apple Pencil, and Smart Keyboard

Apple Pencil

The optional stylus is primarily intended for people who want to do a lot of graphic work on an iPad. The device is connected to the tablet via Bluetooth and then it is possible to sketch, draw and Photo Shop. Of course it is also possible to use the Pencil as a species of mouse, but a finger is sufficient in these cases, of course, also simply.

The gadget is pressure-sensitive, so harder pressures during drawing, for example, yields thicker lines on. He can also see how you hold it diagonally, allowing you to make broad sweeping. During the short test period I was able to determine that the Pencil works very smoothly and accurately. Graphic designers who are using a tablet, for example, Wacom several hundreds or thousands of euros, there will be the nose to pick up, but it works fine.

Smart Keyboard

Like an iPad Stylus Pro still not enough on the Surface tablets from Microsoft makes it seem, Apple has also developed a special pouch containing a built-in keyboard. This can be confirmed by means of a special magnetic connector, which allows data to and current is fed to the keyboard. The cover can be folded so that the iPad Pro neatly upright, though it is not possible to adjust it, as it can at the Surface

will Typing -. To the extent that in a few sentences can be tested – ok. The texture of the keyboard feels a bit soft and is getting used to. The keys themselves do not go very deep and reminiscent of the new Macbook. Not an ultimate keyboard so, but the move will do comply.

Other gadgets

Finally, still striking about the iPad Pro is how rapidly it is . You can also stay in iMovie without problems three videos in 4K resolution can fit in one movie. Multitasking also went very smoothly and without hitches. Without any problems I could play video and with the kaartenapp some play.

Conclusion

Apple iPad Pro clearly envisioning a niche market. The device is simply too large to be of interest to “normal” consumers. However, people who want to be productive can have on their tablet much to this new iPad. Especially the fact that you two apps in iPad Air-size can run side by side, will be very convenient for many people
