**Apple iPad Pro with Dockgo Cover: A Comprehensive Review**

The Apple iPad Pro is a powerful and versatile device that has been gaining popularity among professionals and individuals alike. Recently, we had the opportunity to review the new iPad Pro with the Dockgo cover, which promises to take the user experience to the next level. In this article, we'll delve into the details of the Dockgo cover, its features, and how it compares to other solutions on the market.

**Design and Build Quality**

The Dockgo cover is a significant upgrade over Apple's own Smart Keyboard Folio. While the keyboard itself is functional, it lacks the premium feel and tactile typing experience that some users may be expecting. The build quality of the Dockgo cover is also somewhat lacking, as it feels squishy when typing on it. However, this is still a relatively minor complaint compared to the overall value proposition of the Dockgo cover.

The most notable aspect of the Dockgo cover's design is its ability to provide full protection around the iPad Pro, including the back and corners. This is particularly important for users who are concerned about scratch resistance and durability. The cover also features a robust build quality that will withstand regular use, making it an attractive option for those who want a reliable and protective solution.

**Hub and Connectivity**

One of the standout features of the Dockgo cover is its built-in hub, which provides a convenient way to connect multiple devices to the iPad Pro. This includes USB-C ports, HDMI, and even 12 watts of pass-through power, making it an ideal option for those who need to charge their devices on the go. The hub also allows users to easily access files, SD cards, and other accessories, making it a game-changer for productivity.

The Dockgo cover's connectivity options are also impressive, with support for USB-C, HDMI, and wireless charging. This makes it easy to connect your iPad Pro to external displays, projectors, or other devices, while still maintaining the convenience of a compact design.

**Trackpad and Accessibility Features**

The trackpad on the Dockgo cover is a major highlight of this device. It's incredibly responsive, smooth, and reliable, making it perfect for users who need to interact with their iPad Pro in a precise and accurate way. The trackpad also supports advanced accessibility features, including scrolling, tapping, and long-pressing, which makes it easy to navigate and interact with the device.

The Dockgo cover's trackpad is particularly noteworthy because of its wired design, which eliminates the need for Bluetooth connectivity. This makes it a more reliable option compared to some other trackpads on the market, which can sometimes suffer from connectivity issues or battery drain.

**Comparison to MacBook Air**

When compared to the MacBook Air, the iPad Pro with Dockgo cover is significantly larger and more feature-rich. While the MacBook Air is ideal for those who prioritize portability above all else, the iPad Pro offers a range of benefits that make it an attractive option for those who want the best of both worlds.

One major advantage of the iPad Pro is its versatility. With the Dockgo cover, you can easily transform your device into a productivity powerhouse or a tablet, depending on your needs. This flexibility is particularly appealing to professionals and individuals who need to work in multiple environments or contexts.

**Conclusion**

The Apple iPad Pro with Dockgo cover is an impressive device that offers a range of benefits for those who want the best of both worlds. While it may not be perfect, its versatility, portability, and feature-rich design make it an attractive option for professionals and individuals alike. Whether you're looking to upgrade your productivity or simply want a reliable and protective solution, the Dockgo cover is definitely worth considering.

different keyboard cases folios that attempt to turn an iPad pro into a MacBook but none have come as close as the smart dock from dokgo now it started off as a crowdfunding solution and this is kind of a early phase prototype model so things don't completely work like the internal battery is not really there but it does so much else it gives us our best idea of what this product would look like when it finally does ship now what makes us different from others like Bridge is it's combining about four different things a case for your iPad a keyboard for your iPad a trackpad for your iPad and a docking / hub so your iPad goes into the back panel here and connects over this USBC cable now that is a braided now on cord which is very nice because it can be moving around a lot as you take your iPad in and out over all your iPad goes in and out quite easily in fact sometimes a little too easily especially on the top left-hand corner we noted that it popped out just a couple times as we were opening and closing below is a keyboard has everything that you'd expect to see on the keyboard itself the top left-hand corner of the battery status lights letting you know how much battery life is in there you a full keyboard set here it's a little smaller than full sides it feel likes and as I was actually typing on it I was kind of running into the caps lock or the enter keys on the sides where I normally wouldn't do that on a regular sized keyboard so it was taking a little bit of time to get adjusted to the keyboard size of the doko smart dock then of course below we have a large trackpad it is not as large as Apple's but there is a big difference that was just a pain for us and that is is a normal diving board style trackpad as in the top third here it's kind of stuck in place and then the bottom part here is where you can actually press down to click they don't have to click you can just tap on it so tapping does work but if you're trying to actually click down the whole time it was a little bit of noxious now this does act as a hub on the right-hand side you can micro SD card slot an SD card slot into of USB 8 ports on the left time you have the USB CPD port which will also do power in and charge your iPad at 12 watts HDMI which can do a 4k monitor and we have a USB C port for data now this is what we're coming from here we're using our iPad pro 12 point 9 inch and we're using it inside of Apple's smart keyboard folio you've obviously have the keyboard there you have two different options for propping it up it'll cover your iPad screen as well as the back but otherwise doesn't offer a lot of protection so there's no protection around the edges or the corners of the iPad which if you're really caring about protection could be a big problem with Apple's keyboard folio smart keyboard folio vs. other solutions that are out there so dokgo actually is projecting or protecting the entire iPad because there is literally coverage on all sides back the screen the corners of this thing you can see the giant bezels that exist around the left and the right sides of the iPad so there really is a lot of protection going on in the iPad but it also as quite a bit of bulk will come to back to that bulk aspect in just a moment now the iPad pro and iPad OS have come a long way in terms of productivity I've had a West has a ton of new features including support for using a mouse with your trackpad or iPad and the keyboard support has also gotten better over the years so there's a ton of hotkeys you can use there's a whole row of function keys at the top the keyboard here is very functional it works well but it isn't as nice as some of the other keyboard you've tried I kind of prefer taking on Apple's own smart keyboard folio even the bridge feels more solid than this this just feels a little squishy when typing on it just doesn't have the kind of tactile typing effect that I really like when I'm working with a keyboard so the keyboard is not the best keyword refused by any means and the amount of lately that you're seeing here is absolutely ridiculous when the lights are low but it is definitely a passable keyboard and with everything else that you get in this one package it's pretty damn impressive one things I really like is that dockable you don't have to attach any other external dock like I can plug in my samsung t7 Drive on the left-hand side and immediately have access inside of the files app I can plug in SD and micro SD cards there on the right hand side I can attach any other USB accessories that I may have lying around including additional storage devices on that right hand side it even has 12 watts of pass through power the trackpad itself I was very impressed with it was very smooth very reliable but it still is an accessibility feature you can scroll the two fingers you can tap on it where you can completely press the surface you can assign a different effect to like long hold and everything and it worked completely wired instead of over bluetooth because it plugs right into the side of the iPad dokgo took everything else in against a duration that you'd expect to see on an iPad cover including volume support on the rocker there as well as the power button well there's another odd kind of aspect because it kind of closes hard you're closing it down it just kind of slams shut so it'd be kind of gentle when you close this thing now if we compare this to a MacBook Air which is a very similar in terms of size and screen real estate both are about 13 inches and you can see here there's a huge difference the iPad pro with the doko cover is far larger more kin to a 13-inch MacBook Pro than it is this MacBook Airs if you're looking for the utmost portability but you want that macbook solution absolutely go with that MacBook Air but on top of everything the iPad is more functional because you can take the iPad out and use it as a tablet if you want to has all the protection built-in in has an entire hub dock aspect that the MacBook Air doesn't so it just really depends on what you are going to go for here in terms of portability versus features and
