I take it all back, the MovinkPad Pro 14, using Sunshine and Moonlight instead of the Instant Pen Display beta, becomes a perfectly usable, wireless, Cintiq-like device, even for 3D work
I'll link the stuff that you need if you're on Windows, there's this reddit post about setting up Sunshine and Virtual Display Driver (though I don't use MultiMonitor as VDD supports custom resolutions, it's a bit annoying to get the virtual screen to share to the tablet sometimes)If you want to use

Tab S11 Ultra or IPad Pro?
I have the s11 for notes and l think its pretty peak. The pen is free so l didn't have to spend extra on one. I had an ipad air5 as my past ipad and couldn't understand how one could take digital notes but now l do. The screen size is prefect, like a textbook. The spen is better over the Apple penci

Air M1 upgrade to Air M4 isn't worth it.
The iPad still cannot be used as a productivity device for me personally. Very limited Office package, as in no full Word, Excel, PowerPoint,… And for video editing, I have a powerful computer at home, which is definitely faster and easier to use. My iPad Air M1 was mostly for media consumption, gam

I have an IPad 8th gen in 2026. Do I upgrade to the A16? ?
Get a refurbished iPad Air instead. Look I know it sounds dumb, but I have used the a16 iPad for exactly 1 year for studying and I have traded it with m1 iPad Air 3 weeks ago. The a16 iPad was great, and pretty fast with everything I was trying to do, BUT the screen was horrible. A non-laminated dis

8th generation ipad (2020 / A2270) is it still useful for note taking?
I would not recommend replacing your laptop with an iPad as a university student. An iPad is a good replacement for notebooks, but most university students will need their laptops for more than taking notes in class, and that is where iOS falls short. I had a few students who decided to switch to iP

How much better is the M series Air screen to the A16 iPad?
What do you need the power for? As an artist the only difference I’ve seen with my M1 iPad Air is that I can have a lot more layers in Procreate. The thing is, I never even maxed out the layers on my old iPad (a base 6th or 7th gen!) if I was buying one today I would really think a lot about my need

Weekly 'What should I buy?' Thread
Hi everyone! I want to buy a tablet for digital drawing but I can't decide. I am mostly traditional, previously did a bit of digital art using Krita on my pc. I'm trying to decide between a Samsung Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra 12/512 GB and 13-inch iPad Air Wi‑Fi 512GB with Apple Pencil Pro. What’s making t

iPad fix
Don’t know how to break this to you but Fixing a broken digitizer on an iPad Air 4 requires replacing the entire screen assembly (fused LCD and digitizer) because the components are laminated together. This is a high-difficulty repair involving heat to remove adhesive and delicate ribbon cables. You

I am done, app crashes when I try to write
Tbh, I'm partially blaming the new iPadOS. It's made my M1 feel more sluggish than an older iPad Air with measley 3GB. Throwing glass effects and suddenly forcing apps into windowed mode behavior was obviously half-baked and now a lot of my apps are acting up. On the other hand, it's insane how both

How much storage?
It honestly depends on your use case. I regretted my base storage iPad Air because I do art and graphic design and some gaming. I have an M1 iPad Pro now, 512GB. If not for the art and design, the base model would’ve been fine for me. I’ve never gotten more than the base model for storage for my iPh
