before I ever sit down to film a review a TechnoBuffalo we've already spent hours fiddling with lighting post-production making sure the sets in the shots look absolutely beautiful for the iPad pro we want to take a different approach this past week I had a very cool opportunity to travel to Munich to test drive some of the latest BMWs and what better chance to test apples Pro device and actually use it on the road so for this trip or nearly I would have brought a laptop with me respond to emails and run the business instead the iPad pro became my only computing the majority of my gave whether I'm travelling or not is just replying emails so I to make sure that the iPad pro got handle that for the trip I brought with me the optional smart keyboard so I just sat there and reply to emails typing at first felt very unnatural on the keyboard the keither was fine but felt a little bit cramped and I could not figure out why there isn't a home button on the keyboard I would've loved something like the BlackBerry pretty I'll scrolling on the keys but it worked didn't works well enough will do a ton more coverage o on the keyboard accessories ever since Steve Jobs passing it's become commonplace to wave the flag and say Steve Jobs would have never done this and to the best of my knowledge I have never said that until I saw what the keyboard case looked like will fold it back I can say unequivocally and with almost no doubt at all Steve Jobs would have never put out a product that looks like that from LA to Munich it's about a 12-hour flight so I loaded up the iPad pro with TV shows and movies everything that I've been wanting to watch but haven't had a chance to just sitting back relaxing and watching a movie on that beautiful twelve point nine inches blaze where the iPad pro shined it was a great way to just catch up on everything I've wanted to see that is until a food came and then try to find a place to store a twelve point nine inch tablet somewhere what you've got a tray in front of you I end up having to do so balancing tablet on my lap while leaning back on the table I was able to work but it was not a comfortable experience just imagine try to catch up on agents of shield while you're eating a pretzel roll it's not easy or slowly enjoying an airline salad this is kind of the general experience the iPad pro screen looks great but it's so big it becomes unwieldy when you're out in public spaces for the entire 12 hour flight the iPad pro was the only entertainment device I brought with me I was a bit worried about battery life I charged it up a hundred percent before I got on that plane my time I got off the plane after watching for TV episodes in two and a half movies sold over 60 percent left so you're lying on this device to give you great battery life it worked pretty well and I had to brightness it up about 70 percent as soon as Ron and I landed we were filming an hour to half so after a long day this wanted to relax and then catch up on some videos to finish the movie I started on airplane warning though excessive chest hair head the iPad pro is a bit too big to watch in bed it's a little bit too heavy to hold over your head like you put an iPad Mini or an iPad air and when you're using the smart Keyboard there is actually a comfortable way to stand the thing up without having it sort of rock and roll I ended up swapping the smart Keyboard for the additional Smart Cover please find another way to prop it up and watch my movie when you are watching a movie or TV show or maybe a video on TechnoBuffalo the new speakers sound great there's four of them so demo sound twice is good the next day was our only full day of filming so Ron and I got up early heading on over to BMW world which looks like a museum to the cars and is located right next to their headquarters so figure is a good time to make our shot list so we busted out the pencil which there's no convenient place to put it but it did work really well we're able to create our shot list we would highlight the pressure sensitivity worked really well which for $1000 plus and worked like a pen and paper so again not sure why you wouldn't just use a pen and paper of course it's digital so you can email a lot easier but I guess you could save a couple bucks and just take a picture of the pad that you just wrote on but if you do want to splurge for the Apple pencil it does work well so apples positioning this is kind of a pro device a device that can sort of replace a laptop so that's what I tried to do in my hotel room replying to emails and running the site it was okay but a bit cumbersome and sort of highlights I think the shortcomings of iOS the iPad / also highlights the best parts of iOS multitasking worked as advertised I was able to edit a Word document while checking some articles on TechnoBuffalo without any issue at all Apple packed a ton of horsepower into the iPad pro the a9x was really fast I was able to multitask much better than I could on my retina MacBook even the iPad pro isn't a lot of ways limited by iOS I kind of get the feeling it wasn't made for iOS 9 so what's coming next in iOS 10 so yeah it would have been easier if I brought a laptop with me or maybe I brought a surface pro 4 but it wouldn't have been close to as much fun it was cool to take this device out in the field to use it to test it like you guys would if you wanted to drop close to $1,000 or more for a spa fully SPECT Pro device and speaking of that last word Pro I'm still not sure what's Pro here and the question that I always try to answer all my reviews would I buy this I don't think I would is it eventually going to mature into a pro device I don't know it could but I think your best bet is to wait till gen 2 and see what happens so let us know what you guys think did you pick up an iPad pro have you liked it if you not like did you return it I want to know what your experience have been with this device thank you guys for watching until next time I'm John R Ettinger from TechnoBuffalo I'll see you next video
