On slide over, you can use a three finger swipe to go between apps :-)

[@saradietschy]

Oh snap!!!!!!!!!!

[@arlogodfrey1508]

Surface: Completely configurable trackpad gestures, will do just about anything you want.

[@milkshakeplease4696]

Jesus is the Christ

[@Ghost-jy9hk]

How do you make slide over go away with just the trackpad? I cant figure it out

[@giggle9987]

@Ghost227 Move cursor toward the far right of the screen to have slide over appear and the same to go away.

[@rykann7591]

Cant lie. Kinda needed the happy energy vibe, and this video had just that (plus I like tech so is a win-win). Thank you Sara. 🙌👏👏

[@ayellowpapercrown6750]

Definitely getting this. I’ve switched from my macbook air to my iPad about a year ago and it’s honestly been the best decision I’ve ever made for my electronics. The iPad is so much more accessible and easy to use as a visually impaired person. For the ways I use it, it is infinitely superior to any laptop or mac I’ve ever had. I’ve never owned an iPad keyboard tho, so I am excited to give it a try and get the full laptop experience with the accessibility of an iPad. If it works like expected, I migjt get rid of my macbook air altogether.

[@dougcull8644]

Probably one of the best reviews I've watched for a while, ESPECIALLY showing how the magic keyboard is on a lap... for a laptop replacement!! Subscribed!

[@DashDonivan]

Finally a real review on this product.. earned my sub.. Nice job!

[@jorgemonzon7550]

I didn't know I could fell in love with a keyboard until I watched this video omg!

[@israa9263]

Thanks Sara!! I hope you’re doing alright, staying safe and healthy ❤️☺️

[@multibrainbagel]

Love the way you communicate in your review, subscribed!

[@amitpatange311]

One of the first reviews! Good going!

[@maazhmd_]

Your way of demonstrating new gadgets is just the way the audience wants to see gadget reviews Keep up the good work!

[@alscarpa6177]

Excellent review Sara! I like how you reviewed the iPad mouse experience and integrated that into the keyboard review. Also like the comparison to industry 2 in 1 landscape. Getting my keyboard later today hopefully.

[@faisfauzi196]

Such a great video Sara. I feel you because I have surface pro 4. Now I am thinking to have iPad Pro 2020 with magic keyboard.

[@aliciah7888]

Best review honestly

[@barryvenditti614]

Excellent video. I truly enjoyed your most informative demonstrations. Thank you..

[@DanEscapes]

Great review Sara, I'm looking into getting the keyboard for my 11inch. Was also wondering what app are you using on your phone as an external monitor for your camera?

[@keithryon23]

I’m glad you mentioned the lap thingy with kickstands. Also it takes up more surface area on any given surface to use a kickstand.

[@imthateddie]

Great vid, keep them coming. Thanks!

[@keithmeline7485]

Great video! I'm in between getting the smart or magic keyboard.. but the mouse tips were the best part of the video

[@Archivist42]

When you go to close it lid down laptop style, I wish it didn't fire down so fast. That's definitely gonna make me paranoid. Looks great overall though - already ordered one for my 11 inch just gotta wait for it to get here now...

[@ayellowpapercrown6750]

Yesss just watching people close it in reviews makes me scared haha

[@Jamielimyinyin]

Thanks Sara, the tips REALLY helped especially in setting up my MX master 3, i just got My Magic keyboard today, so excited to enjoy it. Keep up the great videos, have been a long time fan and absolutely love your content :)

[@one42chrisp]

Your frankness is refreshing, thank you.

[@ChadChristian]

Terrific video Sara and answered all my questions; thank you!

[@ghouling1111]

Thank you for saying the case works with the 2018 model

[@ginagrey5287]

Thanks, lovely! Needed this!

[@kinfilmdiaries]

IT LOOKS SO COOL

[@kinfilmdiaries]

Also Sara is right, touch on the iPad and every other 2-in-1 are from different perspectives.

[@ygtiuygh]

Very good and clear explanation. I always like ur video. Please go on...

[@igibbs2000utube]

Nice review. Definitely considering upgrading my old iPad Air (still usable, but definitely showing its age and slowing down) for a new 11" iPad Pro. The keyboard/trackpad (and pencil) seems like a really neat way to make the iPad more functional. My one concern/hesitation about it is the case's durability. I've currently got an Otterbox case around my iPad and I'm reasonably confident that case has saved my iPad the couple of times I've dropped it. Would this case be similarly protective? Is there a way to add a protective case to this?

[@mrcat3493]

I pulled the trigger on the iPad Pro 11” and magic keyboard. I love it, I use it as a second device. I’m an educator, so it fits my needs for a second device while in an eLearning environment.

[@dapip03]

Thanks Sara for the video

[@adrianmh]

Your videos are very enjoyable and provide excellent insight!

[@eli.parker]

😳 🤩 This video was more helpful in me making my decision than every single online reviewer PERIOD! The visuals and how thorough you were cannot be overstated. I had a gift card and a family member’s employee discount, so I got the iPad 12.9”, magic keyboard, and Apple Pencil for $1,056 with tax included, but was thinking that I could save some money and just get a regular keyboard with mouse, but I believe this video helped me understand why what I ordered was the best option. Thanks again! SUBSCRIBE!!!!!

[@yaaashin]

Loved your presentation 👌🏻👌🏻

[@Craylor]

Sara going all LTT on us with the kitchen background. Love it lol!

[@baoduong2203]

I just purchased the iPad Pro 12.9 inch with the magic keyboard. I still have my 10.5 inch iPad Pro, and I will say this 12.9 inch iPad has been the weirdest iPad for me. I am treating it more of a laptop rather than an iPad. I am usually carrying my iPad around. Guess my old iPad Pro will be the iPad that I will read books

[@g33k_Tech]

yeah the magic keyboard change it all..the only problem is it's not flexible

[@SecdumSociety]

Idk how I found your channel but I’m in Love ! Literally watch 23 back to back videos of your channel. Lol .. now I’m on amazon buying everything 😂

[@xplmr1]

I've been waiting for this review! Thanks.

[@qamarmood1157]

Just got mine good gawd is this trying sweet and boy does it transform my iPad

[@BlairSlavin]

I am getting it for the light up keyboard. Touch typist that I am, I still find it challenging to type in the dark as I dont know all the keys. So looking forward to that and a keyboard that doesn't feel like I am typing on cardboard.

[@stuartbuffery2553]

Great video Sara. Hope you and John are both safe and well

[@allenshegog]

nice kitchen love the color scheme

[@cim8097]

I can't wait to get mines! Should be around May 1st-ish!

[@Brandon-iu4ot]

Very nice production quality.

[@ZeroGhostVR]

thank you for this review!

[@LegallyBriana]

This is the best review I’ve ever seen. 👏🏽

[@DoubleO7-11]

1:59 my anxiety level immediately dialed to 11...😅

[@buganvilstudio]

Jacques what about 4:44 when she pushes the Surface and the other thing towards the edge of the table. My God! 😅

[@josh9158]

Great review, thanks.

[@fantasticfermentations5637]

Great review! I think I may go the iPad Pro route for film editing for my channel.

[@ryanching12]

Great vid! TYVM!

[@trhall7406]

Terrific review!!!! 😀😀😀😀

[@ravindracute]

Just love you analysis ......

[@leec136]

Love the video and live that kitchen!

[@BrandonLee_7123]

Not going to lie you answered more questions than mkbhd and other popular KZbinrs have. Thank you for an excellent review.

[@garyp432]

Very comprehensive video.

[@mazdaram226]

Great review , well done

[@KeithBattista]

Great rundown 👍

[@ongwech]

Nice kitchen in the background👌

[@zeb_jynx]

You are the best Sara...so much energy :)

[@mgn2083]

Waking up at 6 am cuz my schedule is a mess, checking KZbin, looking at my feed and there is a Sara Dietschy rhymes with peachy video. Happiness.

[@r6TrdSlow]

Had no idea that you could use a cursor on an ipad.. that makes it much more competitive of an option for my surface now. Great to see

[@laurab4570]

Wish they made this for other iPads. So cool!

[@lakshminarasimmanv]

You are the only KZbinr I hit the like button before I start watching it.

[@joepro5915]

Great video, Sara. Just subscribed. thank you.

[@EMKWANREVIEWS]

Interesting. I guess it depends on individual case use but I’ve ordered a magic keyboard but I’m not sure it’s going to be right for the way I use my iPad Pro.

[@flamingkillermc2806]

*Bruh*

[@NicholasYg]

Weird flex but ok

[@EMKWANREVIEWS]

FlamingKillerMC What?

[@randomrazr]

is she single

[@kazirasostudio9660]

Hi, i was wondering did the magic keyboard significantly drains your ipad battery? Mine the 12.9 2020 using the magic keyboard drains 32% for 1 hour of usage of Notion apps..

[@sanjaypradeep5371]

Nice review

[@j.j.8159]

Great review!

[@lensofmike]

Great review of the magic keyboard. The trackpad looks interesting. I’m going to have to get one.

[@Tugennov]

Thanks for the great overview. Do you miss not being able to fold the keyboard behind the screen to quickly and easily switch back-and-forth between keyboard mode and tablet mode?

[@MadMaxx.1977]

I have the 2018 11" iPad Pro + Magic Keyboard. I'm surprised at how well it works as a laptop replacement. I'll be upgrading to the 2021 12.9" Pro + MK in a few weeks. Still might get the 14" MBP later this year, tho. Great video! You've got a new subscriber!!

[@CheeseOnEverything]

Congrats on 600k!!! WOOOO!! Keep on peachin. PS: Film more of John's videos cuz your commentary is hilarious! 😂🎉🎁🎊

[@AlexPerrucci]

Dang the mx master functionality with the iPad is actually pretty nice!

[@Keese26]

I think this would be great for movies and KZbin, and good to take off for different types of games.

[@danielkim8287]

Well done.

[@michaelfedorsha8147]

I love redheads!!! Great review

[@abunadia5506]

Excellent review! I appreciate you being assiduous in your presentation. Just smashed the like button and subscribed to your channel! 👍🏾👍🏾🇦🇺

[@allenschneider1847]

Great video. I kind of miss the "return" button found on both my android phone and on programs in mac OS.

[@b3nsu]

2:29 "It almost seems like magic" *Roll credits*

[@pilitaale85]

I have an iPad Air 3 and I love it!! iPadOS is amazing... Stay peach ❤️❤️

[@QippysChannel]

Man I so want a 2020 ipad! I do hope all this lockdown ends soon and the jobs gets rolling in, things to buy 😆😆 , Greatstuff Sara👍

[@gerri2651]

Really great video did a beautiful job thank you. By the way I’m not a professional I’m just old and like up to date stuff and definitely easy to handle and read, so yes i bought the iPad 12.9 and the Magic keyboard. Of course when I received my first keyboard it was DOA had to send it back talk about being pissed.. yes I was, had to wait again finally received it thought it wasn’t working right either but I just had to make some adjustments and now I think it’s okay. I now only wish that Apple would open up there class schedule for this iPad because I definetly want to take some classes..

[@kenlee247]

Thanks for reviewing the new magic keyboard. I not sure if Apple will shipped to overseas soonest since there is a lockdown everywhere but I will going to order it anyway to replace my smart folio. Looks really nice floating. Also your home is very beautiful and clean.

[@galenlong3745]

Best review I have seen so far. I can see the purpose of this if I'm say researching a project and using OneNote or even Microsoft word with 1 tb iPad pro. I'm not sure if I would put it on a smaller iPad as it seems a bit Overkill. As far as weight goes, I'm not a gram weenie like alot of people are. If I'm going to use this as an on the go solution, I'm carrying it in some kind of shoulder bag with everything I need including a multitude of dongles and a few Anker batteries to keep me working as long as I need to. I hope you do a long form vid on the movements for using the trackpad, I barely caught what you said. I haven't got my iPad yet and I know doggone well I will need some help with it. I have only had one Apple device and that was an iPhone 3 back in the day........

[@zecanard]

In laptops, all the weight is already in the base, so they’re stable on your lap by default. In tablets, all the weight is in the screen. If you want to achieve any stability with that floating design where the tablet is pushing on the top of the case rather than on the base, the base will need to be heavy, probably at least matching the weight of the screen. Otherwise the whole contraption would tip over all the time and people would complain about the terrible experience.

[@JackMihoff6969]

MKBHD weighed it and it seems that the case is heavier than the iPad (12.9)

[@winnermatt1180]

Did you watch MKBHD’s video?

[@coralreef909]

thegeorgezila why are you here if you’re not an Apple fan?

[@a29patel]

Have you tried this on your lap? That is my deciding factor..thanks for the help

[@BeaTetteh]

Suddenly I need the ipad pro, also side note could you go through your podcast setup etc

[@IneffableRama]

Always technology is give and take.

[@Bazlightyear007]

Give it to me or I’ll take it from you?

[@amizhdhinisn3881]

Yup it is and no it is not give it to me and I’ll take it from you

[@Annette_Hons]

After 2 years I finally broke down and bought the Magic Keyboard and man, why didn’t I do it sooner?? I freaking love this thing. Ordered from target and picked up at the store and saved $50. It’s still pricy for a keyboard, but I love it. I love how easily you can take the ipad off when needed. Previously I had the Logitech Smart Folio and I loved it because you charge it separate from the ipad and one charge lasts 3 months, however it not nearly as easy to take the ipad out of the Smart Folio.

[@charlesm.9858]

I’m a new subscriber! Great Video and looking forward to getting this keyboard!! Mahalo!!

[@pkfrank775]

Hey Sarah, if you are asked to choose between the macbook air and the dell xps, which will you grab forever?

[@mark012498]

Very peachy review! I've been using the logitech "slim" folio on my 2018 12.9" Pro for a while but this seems like a great upgrade for me to make in a few months time. The weight is pretty much the same as the logitech so it seems like a logical next step for me to take.

[@haramizuki09]

mark012498 I’m thinking the same, but I’m really having a hard time to decide due to the missing function keys on the magic keyboard.. hnnggghhh

[@genefactor007]

@@haramizuki09 I have this feeling that there will be an update on this. Perhaps hold down the command button and a little selection bar will pop up on screen to let you now which number key to hit while holding down command? Only time will tell. Fingers crossed a workaround will be implemented.

[@Belgarath777]

Still very concerned about the durability of the material for that price since its the same material as the Folio that others have said ages horribly. If I have to have a case over a case to protect it longer term, then it's not really a protective case.

[@ayellowpapercrown6750]

I doubt that case would protect anything on it’s own. If you drop the iPad, it’ll probably smash the keyboard or the hinge. That’s a shame really.

[@coralreef909]

No it’s not. It’s aluminum hence the weight with all the technology in the scissors switch keyboard that is backlit with the advanced trackpad and USB-C port for charging plus strong magnets in the upper portion to hold the iPad in place with smart connector pins. Very sturdy with good build quality. Your iPad floats above the keyboard.

[@jiveshvilbhumindraram4855]

Would you want it to have the option of flipping further backwards let's say maybe while you're using it on your lap or does it really not matter? Would you get away with it and not mind if you were to use it on your lap while sitting on a small bench for instance against a wall or would you wish for it just be able to extend just bit further backwards?

[@victororozco7637]

Hello Sara great video , quick question what kind of mouse its that one you are using in this video

[@Denvermorgan2000]

I wonder if i should have an folio case they use in addition to the magic keyboard case if im going to use it on the couch.

[@clararichardson3558]

I like your unbiasness about the magic track keyboard!

[@DGates-bb2mw]

Sara, you are incredibly fun to watch.

[@noahbattles]

What app are you using on your phone to preview your camera shot? That's really useful!

[@Anglihelcom]

Will the magnets hold the iPad Pro in portrait mode? I know it wouldn't charge in this position but it would be pretty cool if you could use it that way (especially for writing documents). :)

[@johnwebb7238]

This is cool it’s like new macbook

[@hazelto3163]

just wondering, how does the weight compare between: macbook air 2020 vs the ipad pro 11" with magic keyboard?

[@Hiiiiiiiiieeee]

My soul nearly left my body when you held the iPad by the case, upside down. I KNOW the normal folio for my iPad Pro 2018 would never hold on. Definitely gotta pick up the magic keyboard.

[@france4me117]

It's actually similar weight as the Apple MacBook Pro 13" which really is not heavy at all considering that you have such a quality backlit magic keyboard with a trackpad. Super nice Apple ... Also considering the versatility that you get from the iPad Pro 12.9"
