Having architecture as my background, I couldn't help but follow fellow friends and other architectural related accounts on social media as art is one of my interests. Nowadays these people started to venture into digital drawing, including my best friend. I once tried drawing on her iPad using the Procreate app and it sparked my interest to own one, to try digital drawing.
I initially wanted to buy a cheaper tablet option but since most of my friends recommended iPad and Procreate only available on Apple product, I decided to just buy it. I actually wanted to buy at a physical store but I lost my chance since RMO was implemented and I couldn't wait for RMO to end so I purchased it online.
I purchased the iPad and Apple pencil at two different stores, iTworld and Switch because iTworld didn't have Apple pencil in their stock while Switch didn't have an iPad. iTworld used GDex for their courier while Switch used DHL. I purchased both items on Sunday last week, and I got my iPad on Tuesday while my Apple pencil was delivered only today.
Before I decided to buy the iPad and Apple pencil online, I always have doubt and worried the items might get cracked or broken since they're electronic devices so they're fragile, I even did so much research reading people's experience on buying electronic devices through online. Upon receiving the items, I loved how meticulous iTworld and Switch did the packaging. I received the items in good condition.
Switch even included a thank you note, which I'm delighted of.
I tried my first writing on iPad today, looks like I need more practices!
I got myself an iPad 7th Generation, 128gb WiFi only in Rose Gold colour at RM1,779 while the Apple Pencil 1st Generation costs RM419. While browsing through iPad video reviews, I found that people love to do digital note-taking too. I immediately installed the Procreate and Goodnotes 5 app which costs me RM39.90 and RM34.90 respectively.
I will give a review on these items in the future, at least maybe after 6 months or a year using them. If you guys have any tips on iPad, do share with me!
Till then,
Lya.
WAAAAAAAH THIS IS SO COOL! Maybe next time we can see your digital drawing here hehe XD
ReplyDeleteWell, I hope so too! Haha. Hope I won't be lazy and ended up the iPad just to be a tool to collect dust!
DeleteI'd love to buy my own ipad and apple pencil but I doubt I'll use it haha. Plus it's very expensive too.
ReplyDeleteHonestly I doubt I will be using it too depending on my procrastination routine haha. But hope I will or it'll be a waste of my money
DeleteI hope so too. but it seems that you're using it well. so, that's good. ^^
DeleteYeah I've been using it well, for now! Haha. Thank you!
Deletei want an ipad too but im not sure what im going to use it for hehe.. saja sesuka but atm no budget. contemplating sama ada nak beli drone dlu or ipad. both are expensive..
ReplyDeleteI've read somewhere; iPad is a want when you don't have it, but it'll be an essential once you have it. So I guess you'll have a lot to do with iPad once you buy it, no worries!
Deletewahhh bestnyaaa, BV teringin nak ipad lepas selalu tengok youtube pasal goodnotes and procreate :D
ReplyDeletedah beli screen protector? sebab BV selalu tengok videos pasal unboxing ipad, dorang selalu recommend paper-like screen protector supaya smooth je bila guna apple pencil untuk digital note taking and drawing :3
congrats! happy for ya :)
Ada tengok review on paperlike screen protector juga, nanti kena beli. For now, guna plastic cover sedia ada dulu sementara nak top up poket semula hihi. Thanks for the tips though BV!
Deletecntiknya warna rose gold TT, hope sy pun dpt beli jugak apple pencil. skrg ni guna pen yang biasa2 saja so dia x de pressure pada lines.
ReplyDeleteLya pun ikat perut for months before beli both iPad and Apple pencil. You will buy it too!
Deletearghhh cantiknya rose gold!! :D nanti bolehlah lagi buat review after 6 month and a year tauu :)
ReplyDeleteMemang fell in love terus dengan colour Rose Gold ni! I will review after 6 months or one year. Stay tune!
DeleteThat rose gold colour is to die for! I hope you'll enjoy using your new ipad, it's so beautiful. And I totally understand about your initial worry buying an electronic gadget online. I was also a little skeptical if my item (I recently bought a new phone) would arrive damaged. But I trusted the reviews and YOLO my way through. Best decision I ever made!
ReplyDeleteI know the feeling! I was so worried looking at the tracking progress everyday before they arrived. But I was glad everything is in good condition. Indeed best decision ever!
Deletenice ni... tapi tu la if I buy I hope I know what to use it for...
ReplyDeleteYeah, for something that's expensive and unnecessary, we should think before buying it. So far, I love having an iPad, I have so much to do with it.
DeleteCantikkk. Tapi I doubt myself bila nak guna kalau beli nanti hehe. Bila balik rumah, phone pun tak larat nak handle hehehe 😂
ReplyDeleteHave fun with it yeahhh. Nnt share2 notes2 or drawing kay
I guess a doctor can't really relate having free time to explore new gadget haha. I will share everything, stay tuned!
DeleteBeen saving up for the new iPad Pro 2020 because I can use it with a sidecar app to create my own illustration.
ReplyDeleteThat is one sexy thing!
As I never own a tablet before so I thought just buy the cheapest ipad for now. If I ever love it, maybe I'll upgrade it one day, we'll see, haha. iPad pro is waay sexier!
Deletewahh ipad generasi baru nih., mantapppp ;p
ReplyDeleteThe latest but the cheapest one haha
Deletecan't wait to see your digital artworks here XD
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to be good at it too!
DeleteSeriau jgak nak beli phone online. Takut pecah :)
ReplyDeleteBetul tu memang sepanjang item shipping tu, tak tenang rasanya, risau pecah. Tapi alhamdulillah okay je semua.
DeleteSy ada 1 ipad tp jrang guna bila nk tgk cerita je puas skit sbb besar...slam ramadhan cikguzim follow sini ya
ReplyDeleteSaya baru beli je iPad ni so mungkin masih teruja hari-hari mengadap iPad ni. Lama-lama nanti mungkin saya pun akan jarang guna haha
DeleteLooks good! I have Procreate too and there's so many things you can do with the app x
ReplyDeleteThanks, I'm still exploring the apps I got hihi.
Deletelawa kaler rose gold! teringin nk ada ipad seketul tapi takut mcm takkan pkai je. haha kalau nak beli pun maybe cuba yg 2nd hand dulu kot :p
