You have now switched from a MacBook to an iPad Pro, don’t immediately buy Apple’s Smart Keyboard Folio until you have decided if you would like your iPad Pro to feel more like a laptop or like a tablet, if you prefer a more tactile keyboard, if you want your keyboard to be detachable and if you prefer to interact more with your iPad Pro from the touch screen or from the keyboard. Here are some options:

Apple’s Smart Keyboard Folio – Light weight keyboard and cover which makes your iPad Pro feel like a tablet, simple keyboard layout with no function keys, magnetically attaches to the back of the iPad Pro, keys are less tactile and designed for more touch screen interaction.
Logitec Slim Combo – Light weight detachable keyboard and cover which makes your iPad Pro feel like a tablet, simple keyboard layout with function keys, holder attaches to the back of the iPad Pro, keys are backlit and more tactile like a laptop and designed for less touch screen interaction due to the function keys.
Zagg Slim Book Go – Light weight Bluetooth detachable keyboard and cover which makes your iPad Pro feel like a tablet, laptop style keyboard layout with function keys, holder attaches to the back of the iPad Pro, keys are backlit and more tactile like a laptop and designed for less touch screen interaction due to the function keys.
Brydge 12.9 – Aluminum laptop style keyboard with no cover which makes your iPad Pro feel like a MacBook, laptop style keyboard layout with function keys, clips attach to the bottom of the iPad Pro, keys are backlit and more tactile like a laptop and designed for less touch screen interaction due to the function keys.

Our preference is Apple’s Smart Keyboard Folio due to its simplicity and being light weight. It’s a cover and keeps the iPad Pro true to its tablet roots.

The Changing World

Every part of our world is changing including where our data is stored, like the cloud, the applications we use to create documents and interact with each other and the devices we run applications. In 2006, Apple, created Intel based Macs. Many Windows users switched and had to get familiar with how to do the same tasks in macOS as on Windows. It’s 2019 and Apple has created a bigger iPad Pro to challenge the MacBook. Is it a laptop replacement? It can be but there are additional accessories and apps that are needed to make the switch seamless. Also we need to get familiar with how to do the same tasks in iOS as in macOS. It’s not always straight forward but if we stick with it there is a way.

This new site has been created to bring together a community of users using an iPad Pro and iOS where we can share ideas and interact with each other. Posts will be made up of how to’s and consist of YouTube videos or descriptive information or point to other articles we have found.
