After seven years with my Apple iPad Pro 10.5″ (Space Grey 256GB) (Wi-Fi + Cellular), it is time to upgrade to the latest Apple iPad Pro 11″ M4.
Since my brother frequently flies for business trips, he helped me get it from Singapore Changi Airport to save on the 9% GST.
I wanted to see if the third generation iPad Pro 12.9″ can be a laptop replacement when I am traveling, act as an entertainment device when I am at home, and allow me to do blogging when I am in a cafe during weekends.
Bought an Apple Pencil (2nd Generation) so that Li Xiang can draw on it as well.
The Apple iPad Pro 10.5″ is my fourth iPad.
My first iPad was the iPad back in 2010, followed by iPad 2 in 2011 and finally iPad Air in 2013.
Both of my iPads are starting to show it’s age because it lags in everything it does. So it is time for an upgrade! I wanted to get the iPad Mini Retina but in the end I chose the iPad Air because of the bigger screen (easier for Li Xiang to do her sketching).
Sold my iPad 1 (16GB) (Wi-Fi + 3G) and iPad 2 (Black 32GB) (Wi-Fi + 3G) on Carousell in just one weekend for S$150 and S$310 respectively!
Got my iPad 2 32GB iPad 2 WiFi + 3G thanks to my friend/neighbour who went to queue up at 6am at Infinite at VivoCity and on the way got it for me! If you are reading this, Thanks Pei Jun!
Similar to iPad 1 launch, 1 person is entitled to buy 2 iPad 2 only. The stocks are extremely limited especially white! My friend was 5th in the queue and the white 32GB iPad 2 WiFi + 3G was already sold out. So I am guessing the previous 4 person got like 2x white each.
I want an Apple 16GB iPad WiFi + 3G version, tried ordering from comGateway, but my order got rejected the next day because of overwhelming response. I briefly mention about it to my colleague, Alon, and he said I could just order it online from Apple Store and ship it to his house and he will bring it to Singapore the next time he comes.
So I did just that! Ordered on 22nd April 2010, status change to “Prepared to Ship” on 1st May 2010 and was shipped on the 7th May 2010.
