Is the iPad Pro really more powerful than the retina MacBook

[lite426]

Ohh dear I don't know why I really bother, but to assist:

I certainly have not criticised your opinion on how you have found the typing experience on the 2 keyboards ,I have even said be happy, there is no conflict of opinions on this as I have not expressed one.

You said in your original posting "I have both a MacBook and a iPad Pro and the keyboards are identical accept one is plastic and one is cloth like material" please advise where "identical" means something different.

I don't know why you bother either Steve. Seriously, what's wrong with you? It was made clear by the sentence that followed that he was commenting on the feel of the keyboard. "I love them both because I don't like lots of key travel and the behave similarly". Anyone with sense can understand this. If that wasn't enough, he then clarified what he meant in a second post.

Allow me to shed some further light here: Your sentence "I think your trying to hard " followed by "just be happy" is simply patronising and stupid. The tone of your posts are unnecessarily patronising and passive aggressive. Stop trying to create a drama over nothing.

I'm sorry if you feel that we are only allowed to offer our opinion's on products we own, please ask for a change in forum rules to avoid future confusion.

Funny how the MacBook owners here get all upset when non-owners make complaints about the MacBook, suddenly that doesn't apply to them. I do feel that an actual owner of both products is more qualified to make comparisons.

I'm doubly sorry if you feel we are only allowed to stay a 100% within the contextual topic and it cannot be diversified in to other aspects whilst remaining on topic.

Wasn't it you who complained the thread was being derailed in the first place? This is what you wrote: "Still trying too hard and even further of your own subject"

I'm triply sorry if you feel we can only respond with agreeable postings/replies to yours

You seem not to understand the implied meaning direct or indirect when you add words like "troll" or "idiot" in to a conversation.

The tone of your post was patronising and passive aggressive, can hardly blame him for the use of those words in response.

Now if you want to make this conversation even more sillier than it has already become please feel free to get up extra early so you can post more erroneous replies, in one day

Funny that you took the time to write all that out, and then say that. Why not just leave it at a misunderstanding, apologise now and back off.

On MacBreak weekly they were doing just that and it wasn't doing anything.

I have the Apple Pencil you can use it to navigate through the OS. You can tap on icons and text. You can't swipe to move the side by side windows. You can use it to move the cursor.

Strong whiff of Apple Defense Force in this thread, or at least "product I've just bought" Defense Force.

I clearly stated I used one for a few days, gave clear considered reasons why, in my opinion, the keyboard is vastly different to the rMB keyboard. Nowhere was I aggressive or petulant. Cleared up any suggestion that I was calling anyone a moron - I wasn't.

Accused of not accepting others opinions hilariously. Pot kettle much?! XD

Amusingly, my opinion of the Keyboard is similar to lots of extremely pro (borderline fanboy) Apple tech journos, I suppose they ought not be allowed to express negative thoughts on it either? Good grief.

Thanks for your point of view

Of course my tone is not all flowers and honey so I should therefore equally be allowed the same grace or more you give the OP, being my responses are far more restrained than the OP implied accusations and wild assumptions.

I would equally respect your opinion more if you similarly asked the same to the OP who has far more to apologise for.

I say again I have not criticised the opinion on how the OP found the typing experience on the 2 keyboards, there is no conflict of opinions on this and I agree with you that the OP is far more experienced than I in this one respect having bought the 2 devices.

However this does not detract from the conversation on which I am able to express my opinion on other aspects of the KB and the level of response from the OP almost dictating who is allowed to express an opinions or simply have double standards in responses that is almost laughable

I'm sorry but it was the OP who was trying to button down the conversation to such tight limits and then 1st digressed, not me, which was the point I was making previously, maybe you miss read this or I was not clear enough.

Phew thanks for that I thought it would be very strange if you could not.

I always assumed it would act like a more refined/precise digit atleast

Ok, maybe they were swiping on the podcast that I was watching, they were complaining how you couldn't do everything they wanted with it.

The folks at MacBreak Weekly, were very critical of the keyboard, stating it was inferior to the SP4, and MacBook's keyboard. I've not played with it, so I'm only relying on others. I've read other people complain about it as well, though at this point I don't remember where.

In my opinion, the iPad Pro keyboard is NOT the same as the MacBook's. I like how clicky rMB keyboard is and how it feels. The iPad's keyboard takes more pressure to press with too little travel and the key spacing is different. I was actually surprised how much I disliked it.

I tried the IPP keyboard in the Apple Store this evening - it was very different and pretty clunky. The keys are far smaller; there is more travel; it's less responsive; and there are big gaps between them, which made it slow to adjust to. I'd probably get used to it but it wasn't as immediately impressive as the macbook keyboard, which I really love, and have since the first time I used it.
