The Predator Helios 500 is large and in charge, measuring 15.7 x 12.56 x 1.38 inches and weighing in at 8.59 pounds. The RGB-encased touchpad seems rather small for this large deck but is responsive, and the two separate mechanical buttons beneath are clicky. When you’re done choosing your lighting preference, look down at the deck and you will find a massive full-sized keyboard with matte black chicklet style keys with white font and fully customizable RGB lighting. I would suggest keeping a wipe or cloth handy as the unit does pick up fingerprints quite easily. The bezel is not as slim as I would want but, they’re not large and do not take away from the experience.

Therefore, owners of the newer tablet may get the benefit of their minimum US$799 outlay if they protect it with a case and avoid pressure on it during use or storage.When you open the lid, your eyes are met by the Helios 500’s immersive 17.3-inch, 1080p at 360Hz display. On the other hand, Koroy also reported that he was also able to readily bend the 2017 iPad due to a weak point at its magnetic connector. It is also worrying as Apple has recently increased the cost of iPad Pro repair. These (admittedly less than scientific) findings appears to bode ill for the iPad Pro 2018 and its resilience - or rather total lack thereof. On the other hand, a concerted, high-impact final drop resulted in analogous results to that of EverythingApplePro's test by the 'bend' step. On the other hand, the device remained on, inadvertently activating Siri in the process.Ī second YouTube iPad Pro 2018 drop test, this time conducted by GizmoSlip, resulted in less severe damage, such as scratches, dents and dings to the aluminium, even though it was done via repeated drops from shoulder height. Finally, the YouTube host was able to bend the new iPad with ease, as its screen was shattered by this time.

Koroy also reported a "burning smell" at this point, which had poor implications for the tablet's battery integrity. The iPad Pro, however, exhibited mulitiple severe scratches to the screen, as well as a deformation in the aluminium backing near one corner.Ī fateful (and unnecessary) final drop from head height resulted in more cracking for the iPad Pro's screen.

By contrast, the iPad 10.5 only suffered damage to one corner of its metal unibody. However, progressing to waist height (on Koroy) resulted in increasing levels of damage to the screen and back of the iPad Pro. Koroy found that it fared more or less comparably with the 2017 iPad 10.5 when both were dropped from knee height. Despite this, the host of the YouTube channel EverythingApplePro, Filip Koroy, expressed confidence in the build quality of the 11-inch variant of the device prior to putting it through a drop test. It is only 5.9 inches in height thanks to its new USB type C port. The iPad Pro 2018 is a particularly well-spec'd - and thin - version of Apple's tablet line-up. 3D Printing, 5G, Accessory, AI, Alder Lake, AMD, Android, Apple, ARM, Audio, Benchmark, Biotech, Business, Camera, Cannon Lake, Cezanne (Zen 3), Charts, Chinese Tech, Chromebook, Coffee Lake, Comet Lake, Console, Convertible / 2-in-1, Cryptocurrency, Cyberlaw, Deal, Desktop, E-Mobility, Education, Exclusive, Fail, Foldable, Gadget, Galaxy Note, Galaxy S, Gamecheck, Gaming, Geforce, Google Pixel, GPU, How To, Ice Lake, Intel, Intel Evo, Internet of Things (IoT), iOS, iPad, iPad Pro, iPhone, Jasper Lake, Lakefield, Laptop, Launch, Leaks / Rumors, Linux / Unix, List, Lucienne (Zen 2), MacBook, Mini PC, Monitor, MSI, OnePlus, Opinion, Phablet, Radeon, Raptor Lake, Renoir, Review Snippet, Rocket Lake, Ryzen (Zen), Science, Security, Single-Board Computer (SBC), Smart Home, Smartphone, Smartwatch, Software, Storage, Tablet, ThinkPad, Thunderbolt, Tiger Lake, Touchscreen, Ultrabook, Virtual Reality (VR) / Augmented Reality (AR), Wearable, Wi-Fi 7, Windows, Workstation, XPS, Zen 3 (Vermeer), Zen 4
