I've already nearly turned the iPad into a laptop with trackpad-equipped keyboard cases, but the StudioDock pushes toward the iPad-as-desktop-computer design.

Kensington’s StudioDock is a unique docking station many iPad Pro and iPad Air users will be delighted with, but is it a true desktop setup replacement or is it more inclined to be a handy second-screen? inch and 11-inch iPad Pro is the size of that mounting plate, Kensington says it won’t be user-replaceable. The problem is, you need to prop your iPad up to use a Bluetooth keyboard, and the height and angle provided by a regular folio case is rarely optimal.P10004K: Yea, I'm going to check with Kensington to see if they plan to tweak the design to fit the new M1 12. This time includes the initial thumbnail processing as well, so it's not just the pure off-load speed that I would see in something like the Files app, where I'd just be copying the images to a specific folder.

It worked with my 21:9 monitor, but doesn’t scale the iPad to fit the screen, and you need a mouse or trackpad to interact with the mirrored screen.

Let's better appreciate what we have, consider what gives us joy, and get out there to take some photos. to the elegantly designed StudioDock in portrait or landscape mode, and the possibilities are endless.

You won’t get the fastest speeds out of them, but the ability to charge a phone and AirPods throughout the day is useful and saves space on your desk compared to separate pads.

As I described in our original news coverage of the device, the StudioDock effectively turns your iPad into an iMac-like workstation, complete with built-in chargers for your phone, wireless headphones and other Qi-enabled devices. and AirPod charging (up to 5W), as well as optional charging for Apple Watch up to 5W (K34032WW, sold separately). However, drawing on the iPad and then being able to see your artwork on a bigger screen when hooked up to a monitor may suit artists well. One of the benefits of the StudioDock is how it elevates your iPad, bringing the screen closer to eye-level with its floating design.
