Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “I’m quitting computers”.
That is an iPad pro. It’S the 11 inch iPad pro. I did a video on it recently I was like. Is this thing worth the money laptop money jeez? These are expensive. Obviously, this thing is very powerful performance, comparable to an actual laptop in something incredibly slim and like I’m kind of using it what I didn’t expect to be using this thing. I have so many laptops all the laptops in my house right now plugged in and charged. It’S every MacBook, there’s the Google pixel book. There’S the old iPad. There’S this iPad. It’S too many choices, it’s kind of crazy is this potential future reality in which people are just using iPads instead of last house. Is that thing is that a real possibility, see I’ve been been traveling around YouTube, taking a look around taking a little peek checking out the other channels, and so on and a lot of people who covered this product? Who did videos on this product? They had it directly in reference to laptops myself included, because it’s just in that price category now it seemed evident to me that that was a question that a lot of you guys had this question of.
Look I’m gon na walk into the store here. I’M gon na walk into an Apple store or the website I got $ 1,000 to spend. Am I really getting an iPad is that’s. What is that what’s happening? Is this the future? I feel you. I feel you on that Apple’s marketing.
Of course they went all out there like this is it. This is what you want. It’S crazy, fast, they’re right about that it is very fast. You have a pen, you have this case, you can prop it up. You know I’ve been doing it guys, I’m living. I started living this life.
Okay, look! Look I put it in there. Look at me. I started to live this life way. It hasn’t been very long, maybe like a 24-hour 48-hour period that I’ve been doing this this morning. I’M doing email – okay, I’m inside here I’m doing email two-handed, I’m swiping over here, I’m tapping over here, I’m like Who am I? What is this? There is something I like about this.
I was sitting there. It’S a tiny little footprint. I was having a moment all right with the pen and everything else – and I was like maybe just maybe Apple has a point here. I know I don’t say that very frequently, but it’s possible that they might maybe it is the future.
Maybe there’s some sort of indication. Maybe this is the start, and I still believe at this point right now that for most people, a laptop is generally going to be a better bet. But that said, I feel like I’m the right person with all of the various devices available to me, to do a bit of an experiment to see if this unit right here can replace a laptop for me over an extended period of time. So I’m gon na start that experiment right now. I am going to go laptop lists. Computer lists, with the exception of this right here.
If you want to call it a computer, I don’t know if it is yet I’m going to only use the iPad probe. The pen and the keyboard case, as my main, only computing device I’ll still carry smartphone as my main computing device for how long? How long should I do it guys? No stop at a year a dairy two weeks. Now I’m not gon na cheat. I will do it.
I want to see what happens to me as a human. Do I become Tim Cook? Is that what happens? I just transform into Tim Cook I’ll do two weeks, so we’re gon na do two weeks starting now. I am switching over to nothing but an iPad pro and a smartphone, no laptop, no computer. You got to realize this is this is a bigger deal than it sounds? I had so many setups downstairs here in this building. I had the with the lazy boy recliner and the giant monitors no can’t use it all.
The laptops laying around the house can’t use them. There’S something so appealing about this display that it kind of makes you want to try this experiment, because you do love looking at it and interacting with it. That said, I do have my hesitations.
I am going to find out so far so good, but it’s a short period. It’S been like 24 hours, immediate advantages, form-factor! Look at that thing. What are you you’re? A student? Are you in college? You carry this where’s, your backpack don’t need it. I mean you just seem like you got your stuff together, it’s a refined, little package.
It’S all happening right here. I will be touching this. The screen with the touch input cuz, that’s the only way you can input with the keyboard as well, but I will be touching this a lot. It’S the iPad pro 11 inch and it’s my new computing device for two weeks. I do this for you.
I told you before the experiment starts now is Tim Cook right. Is this the future of computing? Can it replace a laptop? What better way to find out? I’M quitting laptops two weeks: let’s do it? .
