Hi Apple OT:
This is going to be sort of a ramble & some questions in the end, bare with me!
I've been very Anti Apple for pretty much all my life. The whole "Cult" like following, Steve jobs being a complete POS, and not to mention their premium pricing kinda shaped my opinions on the company and stuff. That said, over the passed few years my perception of things changed especially from privacy, personal work day optimization, and looking for something that is "secure, cohesive, and integrated." I started doing research on building an android setup that would meet these requirements. Safe to say the amount of effort, and cost just did not make any sense other than moving onto the Apple platform.
So, today after doing tons of research i made the conclusion that purchasing the 11 inch I pad pro makes the best sense for me. My next decision was do i want to wait for the new iteration, or just purchase what is currently on market. After tons of going back and forth I decided that waiting made no sense, and I purchased the 11 inch 512 GB Ipad pro off Amazon and it should be coming on Monday. I'm kinda nervous, ive only know MS OS (i'm 31 lol), and Android, so making this change is actually kinda scary ( this sounds ridiculous, but it does haha.)
As what i stated at the start the ramble part is done, and now to the questions:
1) This is subjective, but was getting the current offering the right call? ( what ive seen the next version might have a faster processor, but the current IPAD pros are complete beast, and should easily handle the stuff I want to do.)
2) From my research Notability is the go-to notes app? I'm planning on doing my MBA, and writing a book I can foresee lots of note taking. I'm sick and tired of writing notes via word and never looking back at them, or notebooks that get lost or just hard to discern.
3) I take pictures of my camera, but ive never edited, which is something i want to get into, what is the go-to software for this, and specifically for IPAD (if that makes a difference)
4) I'm starting to move off of anything Google, and I currently have a gmail account that i want to get rid of, does anyone actually use apple mail and is it worth it?
5) How the MS office tools behave on the IPAD especially Visio ( I build alot of flow charts)
I have alot of other questions, but I think this is a good start. I'm looking forward to your guys feedback!
