If anyone is coming back to this video, here are a couple things to note: 1. cmd + w now does in fact close apps with ease. 2. Taking notes and being in a Zoom call is now significantly easier with the new quick notes swiping up front the bottom right. Also multitasking in general is largely improved. 3. Fun fact, even though the trackpad is nice and clicky, if you’re like me and you just like to lightly tap on the trackpad to initiate a press, you can toggle that on in settings! Very useful. 4. The Magic Keyboard case feels amazing and makes it so much easier to carry your iPad around safely with style and a keyboard ready to go with trackpad any time you need it. It’s insanely strong and protects your iPad probably better than any other case would. Don’t forget iPad OS is always getting updates that makes the overall experience a lot more useable and enjoyable! Still not on laptop level but very good for most tasks people deal with.

“Have you ever tried to be on a zoom call and take notes at the same time on an iPad? Good luck. It doesn’t work.” Me after spending $1300 on an iPad for school online 👁👄👁
Hahah same, but there are ways to overcome this like Writing on a notebook, but if you like your notes to be on iPad you could record the lecture and take notes.
You can afford anything, it’s all about the path you take to get it. All legal, all about the mindset. Trust I understand what you mean but I believe it’s possible even on this scale. Oh, and not actually needing it is another story, just referring to things you need.
Every year, apple comes with an iPad that is supposed to be a laptop and advertised like a laptop and every year mkbhd reviews it and ends the video with the same line, “it’s great but I still need my laptop”
As someone who’s completed 40% of my master’s degree online utilizing only my iPad, I can tell you for probably 80%-90% of people, you can use an iPad as your dedicated machine. The 10%-20% of outliers would be heavy creative content, like significant video or audio production. I can work from it as well, and I do indeed have teams calls and take notes at the same time, or watch class lecture and take notes at the same time.
Ian Zelbo I was thinking the same thing. It was weird Ive never felt that way watching. MKBHD video. I was like Ummm thats not true. All the things he said you HAVE to touch the screen for is the very reason the trackpad is included. That’s before you get to the gestures.

Great review. I have switched over to this combo in lieu of getting a new laptop and I can tell you I much prefer it. Here are the main reasons why: number one, and I cannot stress enough how awesome this is, SIM card internet. I have internet wherever I am all the time. 2, I love the touch screen, even when using it in laptop mode (on the magic keyboard). 3, love to use it with apps, notable are PDF editors where you can edit PDFs and sign and send back using the Apple Pencil etc. For multi tasking: You didn’t use the split screen function! You can have your zoom call and spotify, works great :-) Yeah its a little heavier than a laptop, yeah it is a bit Top heavy and yeah I find myself looking for the missing escape button (although less and less as I figure out the hot keys etc) but the versatility is unbeatable. Lastly it just feels so premium from top to bottom.

Also, for those of you watching more recently, you can use music apps in slide over and quickly bring the app back onto the screen to change the song, volume etc. you can also use Picture in Picture to watch videos or use split screen or slide over. I’m not sure if zoom or MS teams supports Picture in Picture, but if you use split screen the windows can’t overlap like on a mac so the video tab will be smaller. Also there’s no way to use portrait split screen with one on top of the other to combat this as of yet.
I am not sure how come someone can earn a living to show the rest if the world how to us a piece of tech. I would like to understand if he is an engineer that can provide a true opinion on design and tech or a brownie/blackie that needs to be recognized somehow.
I think you may do a revisit for tech like this. Because there’s a lot that changed since this video, though some may watch this and think this is representative of the current experience. Well, assuming they don’t know that things can change quite rapidly like this.
As an iPad and Mac user I agree, you’ll always need your Mac for things and iPad simply can’t do. I use the iPad for other type of activities like playing games, editing photos or drawing/painting but for real work and multitasking features I’d always prefer my Mac.

Ricky Stafford they won't make it 100% replace the laptop, then they'll lose the laptop market share of their business. But eventually it will replace the some how replace the laptop just as the laptop replaced the desktop. I give 3-5 years and it will replace the laptop👍🏻
You know what would be a GREAT feature on a new Magic Keyboard for iPad? A battery inside the spine of the keyboard that can charge your iPad one the go, sort of like how the MagSafe battery pack worked for the iPhone.
Just an FYI about having to touch the screen for a few functions: you can in fact do all of this stuff from the trackpad itself. Swiping to the top right on the trackpad and swiping up a again will bring the drop down to adjust volume, screen brightness, skip tracks, etc... swiping to the far right of the screen and then swiping right once again will bring up the slide over apps. I usually dock Spotify as a slide over and then access things here as well. Works rather well actually. Cheers! Edit: I imagine Apple will add a control center shortcut at some point for adjusting/turning off keyboard brightness. 2nd Edit: Yeah this isn’t an ideal solution, but if having to touch the screen was a deal breaker for buying this keyboard, you don’t have to touch it and it’s not too bad. Not good, but not bad.
Infosmercial Interacting with menus in the screen even via the track pad is still not comparable to having a row of dedicated hardware buttons to quickly and directly do what you need to do.
As a surveyor this combo works nicely for me, I use the iPad with pencil out on site to take notes, pictures etc, and back at the office, back in the case to type up etc. Great for my use case, but 100% agreed it's not a laptop replacement.
Worth noting touchpad gestures can also be used to exit full screen video (pinch) or to go to the home screen (three finger swipe) if you prefer. Fast and fluid. No need to touch the screen.
Noah Schott Because it’s a tablet, and the point is to have the touchscreen. Tablets are more useful than laptops in that they function as touchscreen still, allowing you to do a lot of things a laptop doesn’t. When my Macbook fried, and it took a year to get it fixed and to save all the files, I used my 1st gen iPad Pro with the old school Apple keyboard, and it did an excellent job of functioning as my main computer. Certainly, using Keynotes was more difficult without a mouse/trackpad, but anything else worked perfectly and I found myself not needing my Macbook at all. The iPad can replace a keyboard easily, and not having an escape button isn’t an actual problem when you can achieve far more with the touchscreen, especially with the Apple pencil. In all honesty, you’d still be wise to have a Mac for your desk, to really use professionally, but an iPad is an even better replacement of Macbook for daily use, every day job situation, business trips, and vacations. It’s more useful to bring an iPad to work/school than to bring a Macbook.
More than a year later since I purchased the magic keyboard, it works really well and has also held up pretty well too. I had taken the ipad to multiple construction sites as well.
Louie Jacob yes and you can actually do it from the trackpad itself without touching the screen. Not ideal maybe, but I’m pretty sure that each instance he mentions needing to touch the screen actually has a way of doing it directly from the trackpad.
keanu sanches keanu sanches I agree with you all. I was thinking of other ways that he can do it. The same with the keyboard brightness setting. All you have to is ask Siri to go there and skip all those menus. He also can create his own Shortcut.
when a samsung phone from 2018 still acts as a proper PC replacement than apples latest attempt ,oh and has a proper mouse pointer FYI, its funny how its overpriced keyboard has no flex unlike the actual tablet it requires lmaooo, well done apple, giving us all a good laugh
IMHO: Even though iPadOS has been an improvement for a more robust “computing” experience on iPad, it still falls very short - specifically in terms of the iPad Pro being a monster of a device, plus now this amazing keyboard. It’s now time for Apple to either bring iPadOS a few steps closer to macOS, or just wrap up on a full merge between both systems. With the specs on the iPad Pro, you can more than ever feel the software staying significantly behind the hardware; iPad OS really feels like “iOS Office Edition”, rather than the “what’s a computer” concept that Apple it trying to push.
hate to tell you sunshine but the ipad pro's "pro specs" would choke on a real OS. It's why they haven't done it and honestly it's hilarious. Apple always touting "it's the most powerful hardware out there" but the software limits it to maybe 30% of all that power so.... ok.
TAGE FPV right, which is why he’s saying that the right software could really use the iPad to its fullest potential, and do it without sacrificing speed or reliability. Questionable whether battery would suffer, but at that point you have to ask if you’re a power user and should really be using a tablet/folio setup for whatever it is that you do.
@@TAGE_FPV No, It's not the fastest but it doesn't need to be as iPad OS doesn't need a i7 processor 2080 ti but even if you run windows on iPad it would be faster than a surface go. So don't provide false information just because you can't grade arm chips
TAGE FPV considering that when the 2018 iPad Pros came out they were more powerful than almost every MacBook Pro up until that point, I’m gonna say citation needed on that one
This is a criminally-UNDERRATED comment Baller-X! I feel the same way... I was totally set on getting this new ipad, but for the total price plus keyboard I will end up getting the macbook air most likely
>"We made your iPad float, it's... magic" Apple fanboys: "WOW take my money" Others: "lol what's the point" I would be lying if I say the engineering and design that went into this doesn't impress me, but the looks aside, I don't see why there's a need to make the tablet hover. Doesn't add that much of a height, does not give an advantage to viewing angles (in fact, worse viewing angles because of the cantilever design), and if your fingers keep hitting the tablet on other standard tablet+keyboard setups you have yourself to blame. Pretty sure they charge a premium just for that design choice alone because hey, it... _floats_.
I own a Magic Keyboard now with my iPad Air 5, I wish they’d add volume controls, maybe Vol down on the left and Vol up on the right. Put those near the edges so you can still reach them despite it being under the lip.
There’s a third type of person, those who flip the the case behind the iPad and use it like an iPad, then flip it back for some quick typing. this case cant do that.
Yeah I thought there should have been a deeper look at the short comings of the case than there was. No way to provide a tilt for drawing or anything like that, no way to flip the keyboard so it's underneath/behind the screen (Helpful when watching a movie on an airplane with a small tray table.. They're charging such a premium for this case that it should be able to do all that.
Bryan Morera That is correct: the Smart Keyboard only goes back as far as what is shown in the product marketing and in the reviews. Even with “magic” in the name, this thing can’t escape simple physics. Frankly, I’m on the fence about returning mine (provided that the UPS driver stops f’ing around and delivers it today like he’s supposed to ...). Either way, I’m holding onto my iPad Pro’s Smart Folio keyboard and I anticipate switching between the two based on context. I’m trying to wrap my head around this being more of a very capable keyboard/trackpad dock than a keyboard case.
I bought the now-M1 iPad Pro 11 inch recently and got one of these cases, since my previous 9.7 inch iPad Pro’s Logitech keyboard case broke in part of the frame which held the iPad in place. While functional, it was a pain to not bump the iPad lest it be dislodged. I was replacing my laptop at the same time. I used my old iPad Pro for drawing and as a lighter option for my day job, and the experience of Pencil in drawing apps made me go with the new Pro as the replacement for *both* my iPad and Laptop in one device. When art creation, size and weight matter, this is a pretty solid case. I’m still in my first week with it, but here are my thoughts. The case is, like Marques said, inflexible. The keyboard itself is resistant to bending under any normal use case. The case’s open-or-closed nature does remove the ability to use the screen at a more comfortable angle for drawing, however. It’s also somewhat awkward to use lying on a bed, (I am currently doing so to type this comment) as the top-heavy (although the keyboard part is quite heavy!) design does make it more awkward than a conventional laptop. With this case, you’re either in Laptop mode or Closed mode. On a flat level surface, this is fine, and the unit is not prone to tipping backward there. The keys are about as good as you’d hope they would be, and while the 11 inch version I use has to compress a few of the farthest keys a bit, its something you can get used to with time. The backlight is exactly as obtuse to control as the video showed, but since its using the ambient light sensor, it does a reasonable job of making it dim or bright appropriately with little need to intervene. The magnetic hold on the iPad is strong. No issues. Trackpad is small but precise and gets you across the iPad screen easily before your finger hits the opposite edge. My biggest complaints? Not able to flip to hold the iPad at a low angle, and the rubberized strip which covers the hinge might be vulnerable to wear. Also, the screen of the iPad contacts the keyboard when closed, and I have concerns about whether that would cause damage to the screen eventually. Speaking of screens, this case is *tight* when closed, leaving no room for a screen protector. It’s also heavy, like Marques said, since its built with a lot of stiff metal. I’m hoping that means the hinge won’t wear out. Worth the price tag? Well, it was a big hit to my bank account, but if it lasts me as long as the last iPad Pro case I used, I’ll be using it long enough to justify the price. Ideally, I’d like to have it endure for around 3-5 years.
2-weeks-later update: As replacements for both my old iPad and old MacBook go, this combined with an iPad Pro did a fine jobThe angle hinge rotates further than I expected! I almost get nervous when it goes back that far; it feels like I’m breaking the thing, but it seems to have no adverse effects. This thing is sturdy. Surprisingly so. My concerns about the iPad screen contacting the keyboard when the case is closed seem to have panned out to a small degree; there’s an obvious imprint on the smudges and fingerprints usually on the screen from the keyboard, mostly from the divide between the bottom key row and the wrist-rest/touchpad section.
I’m at ~2.5 years with the M1 iPad Pro now, and while much of the pros and cons I made back then hold up all this time later, one thing I am very impressed with has been durability of the case. The hinge cover I feared would lose pliability and crumble, or tear from an accidental catch or pull on something, has actually survived beautifully with no damage at all. The seams along the edge of the case have been slightly ripped in a few spots, but none of those have progressed into the material beyond. Damage to the screen has not materialized either; a few small scratches have emerged over the years on the screen, but no clear correlation between the scratches and the case exist and they’re likely from other basic wear and tear. Overall, I’d call this a good purchase. Maybe I’ll be back in another two years. The M4 iPad Pro is thinner than my M1, and as such has a thinner new Magic Keyboard, so my next iPad is unlikely to use my current case. I don’t expect that to happen for another 1-2 years, however the updates to the Apple Pencil might prompt that sooner…
Just a heads up, you can change brightness with trackpad. Also, you CAN leave a full screen with trackpad as well. It does everything. You use the double finger gesture.
@@pulkitrana590 Oh sorry, I didn't know that. I'll never use it again. Thanks for pointing me that out xD.

Sorry for spoiling the joke, but some idiots like you need the explanation.
@@stuff6181 People like me have to use pencil and keyboard alternatively while taking notes. It is impossible to take out the ipad and keep it back multiple times especially when we are sitting for long classes.
There is no doubt new keyboard is amazing piece of tech. I am an artist. I am skeptical about using this for my work where i will have to draw and type.
@@stuff6181 Raher than making a knee jerk comment, why dont you actually put yourself into the shoes of a college student who might use the pencil and keyboard for notes in a lecture? One second the professor is going through slides, then a math question comes up. Or a diagram comes up. Are you really gonna keep disconnecting and reconnecting your iPad to this case? Heres another scenario: Youre an art student in your dorm drawing up some pictures for an assignment until you have to leave for a lecture. With previous cases you could fold the keyboard back and use it like an iPad. With this case, you gotta disconnect it, then remember to grab it in your way out before class. If they made it so the hinge clicked into keyboard mode when opening the case, then with a little force clicked out of keyboard mode and kept folding backwards so you could fold the keyboard behind the iPad, this would be much more practical.

Every year, apple comes with an iPad that is supposed to be a laptop and advertised like a laptop and every year mkbhd reviews it and ends the video with the same line, “it’s great but I still need my laptop”

As someone who’s completed 40% of my master’s degree online utilizing only my iPad, I can tell you for probably 80%-90% of people, you can use an iPad as your dedicated machine. The 10%-20% of outliers would be heavy creative content, like significant video or audio production. I can work from it as well, and I do indeed have teams calls and take notes at the same time, or watch class lecture and take notes at the same time.

Great review. I have switched over to this combo in lieu of getting a new laptop and I can tell you I much prefer it. Here are the main reasons why: number one, and I cannot stress enough how awesome this is, SIM card internet. I have internet wherever I am all the time. 2, I love the touch screen, even when using it in laptop mode (on the magic keyboard). 3, love to use it with apps, notable are PDF editors where you can edit PDFs and sign and send back using the Apple Pencil etc. For multi tasking: You didn’t use the split screen function! You can have your zoom call and spotify, works great :-) Yeah its a little heavier than a laptop, yeah it is a bit Top heavy and yeah I find myself looking for the missing escape button (although less and less as I figure out the hot keys etc) but the versatility is unbeatable. Lastly it just feels so premium from top to bottom.
agree

Also, for those of you watching more recently, you can use music apps in slide over and quickly bring the app back onto the screen to change the song, volume etc.
you can also use Picture in Picture to watch videos or use split screen or slide over. I’m not sure if zoom or MS teams supports Picture in Picture, but if you use split screen the windows can’t overlap like on a mac so the video tab will be smaller. Also there’s no way to use portrait split screen with one on top of the other to combat this as of yet.
As a zoom user in Dec 2022, I can confirm you can use Zoom with PiP mode
For changing song, volume, etc. I'd suggest just using Control Center (swipe down from the top-right).

I laughed so hard when saw your comment.
You know what would be a GREAT feature on a new Magic Keyboard for iPad? A battery inside the spine of the keyboard that can charge your iPad one the go, sort of like how the MagSafe battery pack worked for the iPhone.
Just an FYI about having to touch the screen for a few functions: you can in fact do all of this stuff from the trackpad itself.
Swiping to the top right on the trackpad and swiping up a again will bring the drop down to adjust volume, screen brightness, skip tracks, etc... swiping to the far right of the screen and then swiping right once again will bring up the slide over apps. I usually dock Spotify as a slide over and then access things here as well. Works rather well actually.
Cheers!
Edit: I imagine Apple will add a control center shortcut at some point for adjusting/turning off keyboard brightness.
2nd Edit: Yeah this isn’t an ideal solution, but if having to touch the screen was a deal breaker for buying this keyboard, you don’t have to touch it and it’s not too bad. Not good, but not bad.
Infosmercial Interacting with menus in the screen even via the track pad is still not comparable to having a row of dedicated hardware buttons to quickly and directly do what you need to do.
@@webcomment8895 obviously! but he never said it was comparable and was just informing about a feature people might not know

You can set the globe key (bottom left) to function as ‘esc’ key. To access emoji or change keyboard language use ctrl-spacebar instead.
5:48
I use Command + . (full stop/period)
Worth noting touchpad gestures can also be used to exit full screen video (pinch) or to go to the home screen (three finger swipe) if you prefer. Fast and fluid. No need to touch the screen.
Noah Schott Because it’s a tablet, and the point is to have the touchscreen. Tablets are more useful than laptops in that they function as touchscreen still, allowing you to do a lot of things a laptop doesn’t. When my Macbook fried, and it took a year to get it fixed and to save all the files, I used my 1st gen iPad Pro with the old school Apple keyboard, and it did an excellent job of functioning as my main computer. Certainly, using Keynotes was more difficult without a mouse/trackpad, but anything else worked perfectly and I found myself not needing my Macbook at all. The iPad can replace a keyboard easily, and not having an escape button isn’t an actual problem when you can achieve far more with the touchscreen, especially with the Apple pencil. In all honesty, you’d still be wise to have a Mac for your desk, to really use professionally, but an iPad is an even better replacement of Macbook for daily use, every day job situation, business trips, and vacations. It’s more useful to bring an iPad to work/school than to bring a Macbook.

For $350, apple could have added a secondary battery in the case, it would have been worth the extra 100g
Indeed! I would be fine with the extra weight if it included a supplementary battery,,,,
Dude, Tim Cook is looking for you👌
Probably the extra weight adds protection and sturdiness? idk
Yes, would've been worth an extra 100 grand, because that's what they'd charge for that! 🙃
The keyboard would cost $500 for that
IMHO: Even though iPadOS has been an improvement for a more robust “computing” experience on iPad, it still falls very short - specifically in terms of the iPad Pro being a monster of a device, plus now this amazing keyboard. It’s now time for Apple to either bring iPadOS a few steps closer to macOS, or just wrap up on a full merge between both systems. With the specs on the iPad Pro, you can more than ever feel the software staying significantly behind the hardware; iPad OS really feels like “iOS Office Edition”, rather than the “what’s a computer” concept that Apple it trying to push.
hate to tell you sunshine but the ipad pro's "pro specs" would choke on a real OS. It's why they haven't done it and honestly it's hilarious.
Apple always touting "it's the most powerful hardware out there" but the software limits it to maybe 30% of all that power so.... ok.
TAGE FPV right, which is why he’s saying that the right software could really use the iPad to its fullest potential, and do it without sacrificing speed or reliability. Questionable whether battery would suffer, but at that point you have to ask if you’re a power user and should really be using a tablet/folio setup for whatever it is that you do.
@@TAGE_FPV No, It's not the fastest but it doesn't need to be as iPad OS doesn't need a i7 processor 2080 ti but even if you run windows on iPad it would be faster than a surface go. So don't provide false information just because you can't grade arm chips
@@TAGE_FPV Why do you think it would choke on a real OS? Explain to me like I'm five
TAGE FPV considering that when the 2018 iPad Pros came out they were more powerful than almost every MacBook Pro up until that point, I’m gonna say citation needed on that one
its a great laptop replacement for purely mobile away from home usage if you already have a desktop (or laptop as your main stationary desk computer)

I would be lying if I say the engineering and design that went into this doesn't impress me, but the looks aside, I don't see why there's a need to make the tablet hover. Doesn't add that much of a height, does not give an advantage to viewing angles (in fact, worse viewing angles because of the cantilever design), and if your fingers keep hitting the tablet on other standard tablet+keyboard setups you have yourself to blame. Pretty sure they charge a premium just for that design choice alone because hey, it... _floats_.
I own a Magic Keyboard now with my iPad Air 5, I wish they’d add volume controls, maybe Vol down on the left and Vol up on the right. Put those near the edges so you can still reach them despite it being under the lip.

There’s a third type of person, those who flip the the case behind the iPad and use it like an iPad, then flip it back for some quick typing. this case cant do that.
Yeah I thought there should have been a deeper look at the short comings of the case than there was. No way to provide a tilt for drawing or anything like that, no way to flip the keyboard so it's underneath/behind the screen (Helpful when watching a movie on an airplane with a small tray table..
They're charging such a premium for this case that it should be able to do all that.
That type of person should get the folio then. This isn't made for somebody that just needs to do some quick typing.
Wait are you serious? It doesn’t flip back all the way? I ordered mine already but I’ll return it if that’s the case.
Bryan Morera That is correct: the Smart Keyboard only goes back as far as what is shown in the product marketing and in the reviews. Even with “magic” in the name, this thing can’t escape simple physics.
Frankly, I’m on the fence about returning mine (provided that the UPS driver stops f’ing around and delivers it today like he’s supposed to ...). Either way, I’m holding onto my iPad Pro’s Smart Folio keyboard and I anticipate switching between the two based on context. I’m trying to wrap my head around this being more of a very capable keyboard/trackpad dock than a keyboard case.
You just take it out of the case
MKBHD: finally ipad can be used as laptop.
Apple: we have done it.
at the end of video,
MKBHD: but I still need a laptop
Apple: *
I bought the now-M1 iPad Pro 11 inch recently and got one of these cases, since my previous 9.7 inch iPad Pro’s Logitech keyboard case broke in part of the frame which held the iPad in place. While functional, it was a pain to not bump the iPad lest it be dislodged.
I was replacing my laptop at the same time. I used my old iPad Pro for drawing and as a lighter option for my day job, and the experience of Pencil in drawing apps made me go with the new Pro as the replacement for *both* my iPad and Laptop in one device. When art creation, size and weight matter, this is a pretty solid case. I’m still in my first week with it, but here are my thoughts.
The case is, like Marques said, inflexible. The keyboard itself is resistant to bending under any normal use case. The case’s open-or-closed nature does remove the ability to use the screen at a more comfortable angle for drawing, however. It’s also somewhat awkward to use lying on a bed, (I am currently doing so to type this comment) as the top-heavy (although the keyboard part is quite heavy!) design does make it more awkward than a conventional laptop. With this case, you’re either in Laptop mode or Closed mode. On a flat level surface, this is fine, and the unit is not prone to tipping backward there.
The keys are about as good as you’d hope they would be, and while the 11 inch version I use has to compress a few of the farthest keys a bit, its something you can get used to with time.
The backlight is exactly as obtuse to control as the video showed, but since its using the ambient light sensor, it does a reasonable job of making it dim or bright appropriately with little need to intervene.
The magnetic hold on the iPad is strong. No issues. Trackpad is small but precise and gets you across the iPad screen easily before your finger hits the opposite edge.
My biggest complaints? Not able to flip to hold the iPad at a low angle, and the rubberized strip which covers the hinge might be vulnerable to wear. Also, the screen of the iPad contacts the keyboard when closed, and I have concerns about whether that would cause damage to the screen eventually. Speaking of screens, this case is *tight* when closed, leaving no room for a screen protector. It’s also heavy, like Marques said, since its built with a lot of stiff metal. I’m hoping that means the hinge won’t wear out.
Worth the price tag? Well, it was a big hit to my bank account, but if it lasts me as long as the last iPad Pro case I used, I’ll be using it long enough to justify the price. Ideally, I’d like to have it endure for around 3-5 years.
2-weeks-later update: As replacements for both my old iPad and old MacBook go, this combined with an iPad Pro did a fine jobThe angle hinge rotates further than I expected! I almost get nervous when it goes back that far; it feels like I’m breaking the thing, but it seems to have no adverse effects. This thing is sturdy. Surprisingly so.
My concerns about the iPad screen contacting the keyboard when the case is closed seem to have panned out to a small degree; there’s an obvious imprint on the smudges and fingerprints usually on the screen from the keyboard, mostly from the divide between the bottom key row and the wrist-rest/touchpad section.
I’m at ~2.5 years with the M1 iPad Pro now, and while much of the pros and cons I made back then hold up all this time later, one thing I am very impressed with has been durability of the case.
The hinge cover I feared would lose pliability and crumble, or tear from an accidental catch or pull on something, has actually survived beautifully with no damage at all. The seams along the edge of the case have been slightly ripped in a few spots, but none of those have progressed into the material beyond.
Damage to the screen has not materialized either; a few small scratches have emerged over the years on the screen, but no clear correlation between the scratches and the case exist and they’re likely from other basic wear and tear.
Overall, I’d call this a good purchase. Maybe I’ll be back in another two years. The M4 iPad Pro is thinner than my M1, and as such has a thinner new Magic Keyboard, so my next iPad is unlikely to use my current case. I don’t expect that to happen for another 1-2 years, however the updates to the Apple Pencil might prompt that sooner…
8:02 almost cursed! 😂
Ha ha! I noticed it too
Let's be honest, which Tech Reviewer has actually cursed lmao

Nobody is going to talk about the Illuminati shirt he's wearing
Don't mind asking this. What is illuminati shirt? Everyone in the comment section are talking abt that
@@larine4459 Haha. That's a great explanation.
I don't think it matters nowadays
I was also surprised
He is one of them
Just a heads up, you can change brightness with trackpad. Also, you CAN leave a full screen with trackpad as well. It does everything. You use the double finger gesture.

Marques: So I've been in Illuminati for 2 weeks now, here are my thoughts

@@pulkitrana590 Oh sorry, I didn't know that. I'll never use it again. Thanks for pointing me that out xD. Anyway, I've tried to show that no one was talking about Illuminati before that shirt came out, and I guess there were no requests for that review (opposed to Magic Keyboard requests). Sorry for spoiling the joke, but some idiots like you need the explanation.
Marques : "I've been a member of the *Illumanti* for 2 years now & here is my review.."
KSW illuminati work with satan aka devil. Please do not let give your soul to devil. Tak baik bodoh
Well he is bill gates buddy!

At the end of the day he will realize he's playing for the wrong team. It's all good now but that time is coming.
Just 2 years?
Imagine if the iPad could run a version of MacOS with this keyboard. That would really tempt me away from wanting a Microsoft Surface.
Alex Oliver Apple certainly will do it some time in the future.
Like this comment when it happens.
it's coming for sure,
imagine if macbooks had a touchscreen
and run ios apps

Both are currently sitting in my Apple Store bag and I’m watching videos on whether it’s the right move or not...
You the spontaneous one eh?

same lol. Did you end up getting them?
Yeah I got them both and the Apple Pencil, definitely worth it.
It's interesting that none of the major youtubers (except a new youtuber with
that's when you would disconnect the iPad and use it... like an ipad
@@stuff6181 People like me have to use pencil and keyboard alternatively while taking notes. It is impossible to take out the ipad and keep it back multiple times especially when we are sitting for long classes.
There is no doubt new keyboard is amazing piece of tech. I am an artist. I am skeptical about using this for my work where i will have to draw and type.
@@stuff6181 Raher than making a knee jerk comment, why dont you actually put yourself into the shoes of a college student who might use the pencil and keyboard for notes in a lecture? One second the professor is going through slides, then a math question comes up. Or a diagram comes up. Are you really gonna keep disconnecting and reconnecting your iPad to this case?
Heres another scenario: Youre an art student in your dorm drawing up some pictures for an assignment until you have to leave for a lecture. With previous cases you could fold the keyboard back and use it like an iPad. With this case, you gotta disconnect it, then remember to grab it in your way out before class.
If they made it so the hinge clicked into keyboard mode when opening the case, then with a little force clicked out of keyboard mode and kept folding backwards so you could fold the keyboard behind the iPad, this would be much more practical.
Yeah it’s a deal breaker for me.
That little anger in his voice at 8:00 had me dying lmao
Marques: *but for me...I'm not getting rid of my laptop*
iPad: squeaks with sadness as it's put back on the table
😭😭🤣😂🤣😂
That was so sad...
rob heijkant should I feel ashamed though I recently bought an iPad Pro over the MacBook air 🤔
Clark Kent ll That was a good decision I bet you money he has a MacBook Pro not a MacBook Air

I have to admit I have never seen any UA-camr as smart as Marques.

I bet it's more "Lappable" than any laptop since it doesn't get hot
