Working more outside has been a huge goal for me for as long as I can remember. Today, I just might have realized that dream!
The iPad Pro 10.5, which was announced only a week ago, arrived at my door this morning.
There are a few noticeable features of this latest generation of iPad that quickly standout for me:
The A10X processor is so fast, web browsing seems on par with my desktop, making it the best device I have ever used for casual surfing.
The screen now refreshes up to 120 Hz, making scrolling, and every other motion on the screen, incredibly smooth. Touch responsiveness also feels improved (something I really struggle with on Android devices).
The screen brightness is now rated at 600 nits. This makes it surprisingly readable, even in direct sunlight. No, it won’t beat my Kindle Paperwhite quite yet. But it comes close enough that I’m going to leave the Kindle at home, unless I’m planning to read for hours.
So what kind of work did I get up to?
I read a bunch of Steemit blogs, commented, and upvoted as necessary.
If you told me two weeks ago -- before I joined Steemit -- that I could do all that for real income, I would compare it to one of those scammy work-from-home ads you see at the bottom of CNN articles.
What can I say? My world has radically changed!
The iPad Pro 10.5 just may be the best way to use Steemit at the beach, or anywhere else.
wow, great article, upvoted and resteeming it... followed you as well!

I might just get myself an iPad pro based off your posts. :D Working on the beach is an extremely enticing proposition! I'm still looking to get my Steem off the ground. Really looking forward to become a digital nomad!

It's not a bad idea. You can use Steemit fine on any smartphone, but it's nice to have more screen space. And I like to multitask!

its all good i just wanted to see if i could lifehack my way into a working pyramidscheme crypto currency lol i really do wonder how that whol emechanism works and how the alleged "trade bot"" even works, do u have any idea or know anyone who does? is it just supposed to be liek another store of value? what does BCC even do???
hey but ur upvotes are worth alot more, AND SInce I bought half a BCC, all i need is or BCC to keep going and hit $200 and i ccan do the loan thing with the half of BCC i have in there already lol is it still working tho? Should I put some bitcon in to" reinvest"? Or would that be like investing in a egold HYIP at the last inute just because they had like 20 good payouts in a row LOL
ya maybe u should get out of CC too! or did u already? anyway we dont even need BCC we have steemit! I just saw BCC on fuckin coinmarketcap tho and i was lie Damn WTF how is bitconnect price s high! its like BYTEbal
what do u know about byteball an? why is it like $800 now? its crazy! and fuckin firstblood and Internet of People antshares what are all these things hahah
theyre taking over bittrex!
anyway we should do a yotue video tomorro wjust a quick video explaining all the recent stuff incrypto world to talk about! an we can blast it out on steemit as a series and do a PODcast on STEEMIT but FOR stemit like NOT for youtube we reord it ON youtube but we make sure everyone on STEEMIt knows its for THEM

Do it for pure gambling, or the lulz, but definitely don't count on being repaid in 299 days!
I would assume the worst for BCC, but that applies to 99% of crypto, really.
Steemit is one of the only legit projects around. You'll be getting my support for the foreseeable future. Don't worry about that.

Nice! See how fast I responded??? and yeah steemit IS the best way t spend time ive seen, its where i go o make money out of othing to do a side hustel its the ultamite side hustle and u can profit off of other peoples actions, not even other peoples money i just mean otherpeoples upvites an comments and when a whale commeents onyour posts iits huge! when you as a dolphin go around getting attenton of ther dolphins and swim in a pack u can support a whole fuckinvillage in africa, thats my goal, to actually get steemit onbaoard inafrica and this guy @tj4real and his group of African (who i am ust lumping in together to ake it easier to remember all their nmes) and its better this way we just call it Steemit Africa or SteemAfrica like Team Africa an it will honestly triple Africans GDP I mean a country like Ghan where tj is it has like a 39 billion GDP we could tr iple that with crypto currency if we get africa a head start! I am talking camppaigns to buy cheap android smartphones and free months of Mobile Data like we pay for a monhth or two of free mobile data, and we get them steemit accounts an we get one person to share 1 smartphone between like 10 people give alll 10 people a few minutes a day to post a steemit post and make a few comments, we could really change lives! theres no reason we cant drag africca out f poverty yes a whole continent and their BEST BET is smartphones, mobile data, and just more internt! imagine hoe much more they will get ot of internt than ANy other industry or investment! its sad that they dont all have the ability to all just hop online like we do from our home laptops or desktops or ipads or talets or smartphonees haha we are starting to have so many devices we can affford to send old androids to africa with lots of cheap extra solar powered battery packs and i reallly believe we can do this man! i think we can finally afford to teach a whole contintt how to fish or rather give a man the keys to a fishing pole factory hahha

I hope you can find a way. It improves my day 100%.
The main problem has been screen brightness (and reflectiveness), as well as ergonomics.
The iPad, even with all its limitations, makes it finally possible.

Each time I took gadgets to the sand beach, I got a scratches on it , even with all this Gorilla Glass. For pebbles it's OK ;-)

You are exactly right!
I have sand scratched a bunch of things at the beach, and I've yet to put a case or screen protector on this iPad.
A case is coming tomorrow, but I'm unsure about putting a protector on top of the anti-reflective screen. It cuts glare so good, I don't want to diminish that effect, especially at the beach!

Honestly doing work on the iPad Pro is convenient, but at times frustrating. I've had the 12.9 model for a while now and I pretty much use it exclusively.
Okay that's a lie. I use it exclusively right now because I don't own a laptop (R.I.P.).
I'm going to follow you to see how you feel about it later.
I basically just want to know if I'm being a whiny bitch.

I've had a few iPads in the past. I probably know what you mean!
I should mention that I also own an Surface Pro, but I can't even unlock it in direct sunlight, and I found the top heavy/kickstand design pretty terrible unless I'm at the desk..
Work on the iPad will probably be Steemit (heh), trading crypto, and reading. The other, less fun stuff, will probably always need a mouse and keyboard.
I was so tempted by the 12.9, but I'm not sure about it leaving the house.
What are your thoughts on iOS 11? That's the real reason I got an iPad again.

I usually wait a couple weeks post hype to try a new version of iOS out.
I honestly just haven't had time to read about this one.
What are the features that made you buy it?
By the way, totally get the Apple Pencil and Smart Keyboard. It makes life a ton easier.

The changes in iPad iOS 11 are many, but the big ones allow for better multitasking.
You get a flick-up macOS style icon dock, and left side split screen windows are now width adjustable just like the right side (finally).
Also, drag'n drop files between windows, and a file explorer app.
These could be game changers for me, as I typically work with at least 2 things going at once.
Either way, I've just sort of given up on laptops. It's either large screens and seated at a desk, or something I can use even when walking on the beach.

Yeah I got you. I honestly need a more mobile solution to suit my nomadic lifestyle.
Whether that's an iPad or a laptop.
For casual web stuff I prefer the iPad any day. When it comes to editing not so much.
I'm glad they finally fixed the multi-tasking. They might as well have named the old way, "open a tiny useless box on the right side to look cooler than your friends with cheap android tablets mode".

It's frustrating when it takes an entire year or two to get any progress with software. They tie new features to hardware releases, which boggles my mind... until I realize why I've just bought a new iPad!
After all these years, though, Android tablet apps are still nonexistent. And Windows is utter garbage without a pointing device...
The MacBook 12 inch was also on my list. But after the Surface Pro experience (thankfully purchased used), I had to give this a shot. So far, I'm not disappointed. I'll consider the accessories next.
