[@justinquinn7995]

@@Ghost-jy9hk I really appreciate Apple added versions of these to the iPad… but there’s just way too much missing for them to be proper replacements for the desktop version. Final Cut on iPad is more like an iMovie Pro at the moment. And I say that as someone who likes using Final Cut on iPad and wants it to get better. But right now… it’s missing way too much. Logic Pro on iPad is actually interesting, I’d consider using it for the basic voiceover work I end up doing

Better? Seriously dude. iPad pro uses desktop-class chip.

[@wheely4405]

@RickyAustin78 yes but you need to transfer files from phone to ipad , on Samsung Dex its all in the phone , and what about the ipad cpu the difference is small compared to 8gen2 8gen3, what will really make a difference is ram and if you don't got the money for 16gb ipad it's better to go with s23u s24u 12gb instead of 8gb ipad.. Also Dex ui is more versatile, the Multitasking is way easier And after all its also a phone , better than iphone on every category except video recording and messaging ( only for u.s people )

@@jbivphotography but I mean like can you use it on the extended screen

[@Tellurdogisayhello]

Can you turn your ipad off and still use the monitor? The use case I’m imagining is say, running a youtube video in the background. How does that work?

[@jbivphotography]

You can't turn off the iPad monitor however it's going to act like a second monitor. So if you wanted to you could run a KZbin video on the main monitor and then just have the iPad monitor like a normal iPad screen. Or you could run a KZbin video on the iPad screen and then check your emails on the external monitor.
