Although the question "What to give on February 23" is not as popular in search engines, as "what to give on March 8," women are still suffering from shopping in search of a gift for their men. But if we are talking about the user Apple's techniques, everything becomes much easier. No, the new iPhone or Apple Watch, of course, to give too "fatty," but no one has yet refused from useful accessories for the same iPad or Mac. We also listened to conversations in the editorial board, where everyone has anything from Apple, and made a list that they would like to receive as a gift the authors of Appleinsider.ru.
I type tens of thousands of characters every day, and I use both MacBook Air and iPad. But on the tablet it does not work fully on the tablet: one thing, if you want to trim on social networks, but if you write an article, it is not very convenient to use the on-screen keyboard.
Last year, I heard Logitech Slim Folio Pro. Cool pieces, and cover, and bluetooth keyboard. Keyboard here with function keys, there are pictograms (open / close the virtual keyboard, start / stop playing audio or video content, volume control, etc.), the key of 1 mm keys, also the same mechanism is the same as my MacBook - " scissors". "Butterfly" in the Spirit I do not carry. And the backlight of the keys is adjustable. You can use in reading, drawing or entering text.
And most importantly - it will be suitable for my iPad Pro 11 inches of the first generation, but at all you can connect to newer "prospects". And it costs normally, in the area of 12 thousand rubles. I am not ready to give 30 thousand rubles for Magic Keyboard, and there is no point in this sense, Logitech Slim Folio Pro is no worse.
Airpods Max look beautiful, but, in my opinion, 63 thousand rubles are not worth it. Noise at the headphones Sony is no worse, WH-1000xm4 work 30 hours on one charge, plus Bluetooth 5.0 is already used there. On the remote, right what is needed. Moreover, I tested Airpods Max, and my taste, Sony gives a much more pleasant sound. Airpods Max seems to sound slightly more accurately in the middle and tops, but the possibility of manual adjustment that Sony offers, gives a more individualized sound.
Plus Sony is much more convenient - you literally forget that we carry them, then how to forget about the Airpods Max will not work. They are pretty heavy. It remains only to find who will give.
Artyom Sutyagin - Logitech CrayonI have an iPad, and I have looked at the Apple Pencil for a long time to make sketches for video or just occupy a child thus for a while. But somehow was not ready to give such money for a pencil. And in 2018, for the new at that time, the iPad of the 6th generation appeared an analogue of Apple Pencil gray color with a characteristic orange cap, combined with the on / off butt bow and insert under the removable tip. It was Logitech Crayon, and since then I caught fire the idea of buying it.
What is it so good? First, compatible with all iPad, released after 2018 and the IOS 12.2 operating system and the newer. Apple Pencil has a real confusion, each generation is compatible only with certain tablets. Here I can use a pencil and with iPad Pro, and from the iPad of the seventh generation. Secondly, Logitech Crayon is made of aluminum with a rubber cap, and not from plastic. I tried it in the store, in my hand lies perfectly. It is important that this pencil supports all applications on iPad designed to interact with Apple Pencil, therefore there should be no difficulty with compatibility. Thirdly, it does not need to be inserted into the iPad to charge, you can simply connect the Lightning cable into the plug on the pencil. It is not so convenient as charging with magnets, but better than to connect it into the tablet charging connector.
And it works 7.5 hours on one charge, in the case of a complete discharge, two minutes of connection to the power supply will ensure half an hour of operation. The only minus Logitech Crayon compared to Apple Pencil - no recognition of the pressing force. But considering that it costs 7,000 rubles, which is 2,000 rubles cheaper than Apple Pencil 1-generation and 4,500 rubles cheaper than Apple Pencil 2nd generation, you can forgive it.
Renat Grishin - HP printer, which does not need cartridgesI constantly work with documents and has already been tired of buying consumables for printers or cause tellers. I have long been looking at the laser printer without a cartridge with a continuous toner feed system - HP Neverstop Laser. He was generally the world's first printer, which does not need cartridges. The chip is that you can independently fill the toner directly into the printer. The starter set already includes a toner reserve for 5000 pages, and add to them another 2500 pages can be in just 15 seconds and 790 rubles.
Plus there is a print from an iPhone, you can make scan and create a copy of the files, so you do not need to turn on the computer. Such a printer will be extremely useful to those who are engaged in freelance or business and prints a lot. For example, I.
Alexander Bogdanov - Logitech MX Master 3 for Mac
Colleagues have long known that I want, all the ears are discovered after buying the Logitech MX Keys keyboard. Because when I found out that there is a mouse MX Master 3 for Mac, I really regretted that I bought only the keyboard. I tried this mouse from a friend, I did not want to give. Her chip is not only in ergonomic design, which is very important when you work at the computer all day, but also in tracking almost on any surface, even on the glass! Plus on MX Master 3 for Mac there are buttons that can be configured under a specific application. For example, quickly cut off a piece of video in Final Cut Pro or open a new tab in Safari. It's great to save time when all this is your hand, and you do not need to use the keyboard or cursor once again.
And MX Master 3 for Mac can be connected immediately to three devices and quickly switch between them. I have a personal MacBook Pro, an office iMac and another computer on Windows, so it is very important to me. Also works for more than two months on one charge. You can charge the USB-C cable - and work further. In my Magic Mouse, I'm already tired of changing batteries.
