How useful could this be ?

Crikey, if that is for real, then I'll probably order an iPad Air 2 tomorrow.

Been trying to do this with Airdisplay and Splashtop but they are just too laggy to be useful. I have several out of office scenarios where I really miss my dual screen docked setup.

I got a Venostechside car and have used that successfully to stick my iPad mini onto the side of me Macbook Air...

Finally a tiny issue on my series 1 Air (4.5 years old) - the home button is little sticky (tried everything that the mac lot suggested and no real help) and I mean its just a tiny bit sticky but works fine so its off to https://www.quickmobilefix.com/collecti ... ton-repair as I have a 10% off voucher from them - so 35 quid all in and I have used them before and they're



I want a new iPad (in black too as white is so distracting) so gotta get this one perfect as everything else about it is so top dollar on ebay, then about another 30 quid to get a new (well months old) iPad (gotta love residuals on mac stuff - how much would a 4 year old samsung tablet be worth now ?)

Had my iPad Air from day one release so its almost 4 and half years old and its only ever problem in that time is now it needs charging every other day so I booted up Coconut Battery on my Mac and connected the iPad and it says its lost over half its battery with a max capacity now of 3957mAH of originally 8827 in 772 charges which to be honest I dont think is that bad - again you get what you pay for (see my MacPro 2010 comments from elsewhere here). Only dilemma is now its 40 quid for a new iPad battery or I could flog it on ebay for 200 or so and get the latest iPad second-hand from there for around the same money......Any thoughts ?

Funny enough my iPhone 6 which apple themselves are replacing the battery in Bath next week has only lost 300mAH in 927 charges.

iPads are a pain to get into - a lot of hair drying glue softening and screen bending, and you'll have to get replacement glue too or it never quite fits back together again. Definitely go for the flog. iPhones have been easy to replace parts since 5 - they have just 2 screws holding the screen in place.

My iPad air's sole use is for Fable's educational games, and I have to say I'm also impressed by the way it's held up - I've always kept it up to date and it shows no signs of slowing down.
My first gen 12.9 Pro is still a champ tho. Nothing chugs on that. I don't even know why apple bother to do annual iterations. They should just wait 4 years.

Well I bagged a bargain today - one month old 2018 Ipad off gumtree for 230 as guy didn’t like iOS as a big android fan and he only lives 15 mins away. He renovates reel to reels so we spoke on the Phone for ages. Off to collect tomorrow only problem Is I should get about 175 for my white 64 gig iPad Air although the home button is slightly clicky - it works fine but it’s def off a little feel wise - do you think I should get it fixed for 30 quid before I sell it or just put that on the Ebay description Should get about 175 for my white 64 gig iPad Air although the home button is slightly clicky - it works fine but it’s def off a little feel wise - do you think I should get it fixed for 30 quid before I sell it or just put that on the Ebay description ?
