It is huge and tough to handle without a stand.

        YUKI93, 07 Sep 2023Not with iPadOS anyway. Even Surface Go 3 still makes a lot... moreWhile I'd love to see macOS on iPad Pro, current macOS aren't optimized for touch screen use. Apple need to give such compatibility and capability for future generation of macOS. But then again, I doubt Apple will do that in the first place since it would disrupt the MacBook laptop sales.

          YUKI93, 07 Sep 2023Samsung really missed the opportunity by not putting Window... moreI used to own the M1 iPad Pro, and I can easily attest that it's not the "laptop replacement" Apple always touted in their ads. You know what iPadOS is? It's literally Apple's Windows RT and Windows 10/11 S Mode, and people hated both stripped-down Windows OS all along. That's why I sold it for a Microsoft Surface Pro 8 and I'm very happy with that decision all along. Since I went for 11th gen Intel Core i7, I won't be upgrading until the foreseeable future.

                    Hey can you check hdr in YouTube app and in a browser. It seems the YouTube app has the colors washed out. Thank you

                    Another thing I would like to see is the anti reflective screen protector, is it worth it?

                      Also I hate to see that Android and iPadOS can't unleash the performance of the two processors just because "you're stuck with most games from the store". Really hope that x64 emulation can become a thing one day (when I say a thing I mean like there's no hassle in using it anymore, just use the installation app and you're good to go!)

At last on the heaviest same task that both tablet capable of there's not much differences between them in terms of performances.

                                    Calling it now, the color calibration is trash. Everything looks pale and gray.

Even Surface Go 3 still makes a lot of sense despite only having a Pentium or Core i3 CPU option because of fully legit desktop-grade Windows OS. When the day comes where Apple finally put macOS on their iPad Pro tablets, then I have no hesitation on using an Apple product for the first time. For now, Windows is still my preferred choice for large screen tablets.

                                        P.S. I can understand the appeal of ChromeOS since I used to be a Linux user, but Android tablet is still worth considering if you don't really care much about using Linux full time and depends more on Google Play Store apps as ARM SoC still has wider compatibility than x86 CPU for it.
