Just purchased an 11 inch iPad pro and magic keyboard. After reading how capable this setup is, I believed all the bragging and spend $1400. Now, I'm not new to Apple products and have just about every one of their iPhone and iPad products. This combo is unique and therefore useless for my needs. (my old 2nd gen iPad Pro 12.6 inch works fine) (and no there is nothing wrong with my new unit, my wife's similar unit does the exact same thing)
I am always pressed for time and I expect to be able to do real work with my computers. Imagine my frustration when the iPad/keyboard combo simply refused to properly fill out forms. I could type at 1 character per second, any faster and the intermediate characters would not be there. Then trying to edit required using a combo of arrows, deletions, addition of other (useless place-filler text) text then adding the character I wanted, then deleting the place holder characters. Holy mother of god, that was frustrating. When it finally started putting text under the "line" and 2 hours had gone by, I gave up, went to the business center at the hotel and got the job done on a regular PC.
To make matters worse, after all that work, I could not save the PDF with the changes, to then email it. And before you ask I do have a PDF app. Saving then emailing the edited form is virtually impossible, short of taking screen shots and sending it as a Jpg.
Word to the wise, the iPad Pro is not for Pro's. It's for kids.
