      @@Kyru4712 NO! It says a lot about either Anker’s CFO that they would choose to accommodate cheaper iPad’s with no magnets when designing this product in that they’d rather sell more unit’s than accommodate their prime audience, those with the money to buy such a hub on top of the iPad Pro and a Magic Keyboard.
      This product could be almost Apple-esque, it isn’t sub par but I’m looking for an eagle, or at least a birdie, not par. Right now I may as well stick with the Magic Keyboard and separate dock.

    Cool, Thanks! I have good experiences with Anker. My hub for my M1 Air is an Anker and works perfectly. Only if it had 2 USB-c ports you could use it for tethering to the iPad with a camera.

  • @rickatkinson1000
    @rickatkinson1000 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    I really enjoyed your very high quality video. I have never seen so much gear on one desk - wow! Your explanation about Stage Manager is spot on. Trust Apple to do something more than just clamshell mirroring. Your comments about the Anker stand /dock convinced me to buy that product. I am very happy with the Anker dock save one complaint. The USB-C ports are slightly too big. As such the USB-C cables don’t seat tightly - wiggly. One other point, these manufactures need to make the stand rests bigger to fully accommodate a case on the iPads. I like to just grab my iPad and go. I certainly wont take iPad out of it’s case to place it in the stand. Fortunately the Anker accommodates my iPad and Logitech case barely.

    Michael, I've been hanging out for a few years to hear how the ipad pro works with Fusion 360 in the way you're doing Photoshop there with the pencil. Someone did do an inspiring piece with really fancy but expensive Wacom gear but surely the Apple pencil would have most of the functionality that was demonstrated.

  • @MittenOverlanding
    @MittenOverlanding ปีที่แล้ว +5

    It’s wild that the IPad Pro uses USB-C and this dock doesn’t even allow for one USB-C port for external use. The only two USB-C ports are for pass-through charging and connecting the iPad to this dock. This was a large oversight to the future use of the iPad accessory and other USB-C applications.

    • @UrbaneVisions
      @UrbaneVisions ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I've been thinking the same thing. I understand having one USB-A port but come on. Two USB-A ports is redundant and archaic on such a modern design. The worst part is that they'll update it to be how it should but by then you'll be forced to by this version. The only thing that I can think of to justify this is trying to avoid a power overload/overheating of some sort. Other than that, they have room to grow.

I want to be able to charge my ipad and use wired gaming headphones at the same time. I’ve found nothing that states it does what I want on Amazon. And some even say “ not compatible with m1 iPad pro “ some even state they don’t work specifically with the 12.9” version even though it’s just a plug in hub and not a stand. Hope you can help.

    It’s base angle is perfect for artists to lean on but with how thin the stand width is atm, leaning on it slightly is not practical. It pops out the stand.
    It wouldn’t impact its current market or how it’s used either, just adds the stability required for digital artists to also buy it, win win, Pleeeaase

    Hi Michael,
    Thanks for the video. I’m a dj and I want to know if it’s possible to hook up a Nuc mini pc through the hdmi port of the anker and then from the anker to an IPad 6th generation. I do not want to buy a 12 inch portable monitor just for that. I think that I can take davantage of my ipad when I do not DJ as a main work station to go on internet, use Word, work on Canva. I do not run any softwares on my Ipad. I just wanna run Reckorbox from my Nuc and display It on my ipad.
    Thanks

    Honestly iPad is a great computer for most people. I wouldn’t recommend a PC or Mac to anyone really just because of how complicated computers are. You need to understand the finder system. You need to tell the computer where to install your apps and where to install the content of the apps. You need to install an uninstaller app to help you remove apps if you simply want to free space. Not every feature is inside of an app. Like if you simply want to refresh your Mail, there’s no refresh button in the Apple mail app for mac. You have to right mouse click the Mail app icon and click on “Get new Mail” ughghhgghghghghgh. iPad is very simple. I hate computers. iPad is great.
