That's crazy, I didn't think that was possible.. I have a PM on my project that uses a Surface Pro all day, every day and I can see that because it's running Windows 10. I was even shocked he was able to run Oracle Virtualbox on there...
As much as I love Apple's products, I could not see myself running only an iPad as my primary PC though..

Yea I couldn't either.
Unless it ran the desktop version of adobe Lightroom and can run 8x 4K streams of porn at once, I'll stick to a computer

I'm not looking for the iPad pro to replace my laptop. But be more of a central hub.
I want to see what Adobe does with the LR app....or I want to see if there is an even better app, like the company that demoed their PS like app during the keynote.

And I'm seriously becoming disenchanted with Adobe. They still don't take full advantage of Metal and all the other Mac software features to run smoother and faster and more reliable. And their App support seems to be a joke right now. Drives me nuts.

DDR4 will be good for servers and mobile devices because it can run at 1.1 volts

Very tempted to get last years 9.7" iPad Pro. Seen a few 32GB ones go for $325-350 used.
then again I'm in no rush. Maybe I'll wait for the 10.5" to get cheeper used.
also I just picked up a 5th generation iPad (2017 iPad) 128GB for my mom. Was on sale at B&H for $379.
her 16GB Air 1 ran out of space.

I've got one of those coming my way. Got a 64GB one off eBay.
yesterday there was a coupon for 20% off anything on eBay. Snagged one for $399
any recommended apps I should get. Keep in mind I'm coming from a 3rd gen 32GB iPad.
Already planning on getting Affinity Photo and Lumafusion.

wait to get affinity photo until it’s on sale. I’m finding I don’t love it for raw processing. Glad I got it for 50% off.

my gosh this thing flies!
Geekbench scores are significantly higher than my old iPad...
single-core = 3947 vs 329 on the 3rd gen
multi-core = 9404 vs 568

Finally in iOS 12 beta 2, when you open iPhone apps on the iPad, like Instagram, they're now displayed in a modern device size (iPhone 6) in both 1x and 2x mode.

Ohh good the bezel isn't that thin. Should still be ok to carry.
but why the rounded corners on the display? There's a reason why TVs stopped doing it
