    Mr. Norm, 18 Nov 2018Then how about not making it absurdly thin beyond what's ne... moreI would like it to be even thinner if possible. (for lightweight and portability reasons)

    If you are to keep it on a couch and sit on it, you would break it either way, even if it were 10mm thick, assuming you weigh more than 5kg. So if you can’t make it withstand the force of someones body weight on top of it, whats the point of keeping it thick? Take your 30mm laptop and sit on it - you will get the same result.

                        You cant have both thinness and resistance to bending/breaking.

                        This is normal behaviour for a device like this. Cant have it any other way, unless you make it thicker.

No way any other tablet will bend like that, it was literally no offert put and it bended like a peace if paper. I have original nexus 7, obviously it is not thin, but it is impossible to bend it for sure with your bear hands, unless you some kind of giant strongman.

                            To bend ipad pro 11 was so easy for him like to bend peace of paper, just pathetic from Apple

                              2. Older iPads wouldn't break as easily as this.

Instead I should of belonged to the PC master race and bought a $2000 laptop for the same performance, half the battery life and 5 times the weight (talking of sheep's).

                                  ...oh wait there is none . Ever since Google created their sh***y netbooks they do everything they can to sabotage android tablets. Their OS is basically the same no matter the platforms, in fact their last (pixel) tablet was purposefully bad so that people should opt for Intel and Chrome OS. Too bad (for Google) that he people merely exited the market or went the iPad route.

                                  Google slayed a cash cow because apparently their higher ups are as far sighted as my myopic cousin that can barely if what he sees is a tree or a car...

But this product is not made for either of those situations in mind though, there are better options for that.
                                    But if you want the best tablet when it comes to quality screen and performance, for example photo editing work which is something _it is_ made for, then no other table is even close.

                                      Quality of phones these days are so funny. Apple is old Chinese quality and Chinese phones are Apple quality, lucky Apple using their won os other than os it’s piece of sht
