Is there any way to upgrade the RAM?
I was thinking I could probably spin this thing up as a little web server or maybe a dedicated game server for a few buddies.
Anyway, solid review. You really nailed the build quality on this one.

How does Minecraft actually run on an iPad Pro... any major lag issues?

There’s no way to upgrade the RAM—as much as I’d love to... 🙂
But for everyday stuff, these 2 GB will get the job done.
My kid’s been playing Minecraft on his iPad since school let out, and honestly, there isn't any noticeable lag. Settings are dialed in just right to keep things smooth—not maxed out on graphics, obviously, just somewhere in the middle. Kids seem to know more about that stuff than I do... 😁

I'm thinking about picking up a USB tuner for my iPad Pro. I want to use it for watching live TV and maybe some recording... ideally something that comes with its own remote.
Anyone have a solid recommendation for a good stick paired with decent software?

I’ve actually been mulling over the idea of putting together a Home Theater PC using a device like that myself. I’d love to hear more about how everything shakes out once you finally pull the trigger on the purchase.

Just as a little thought for you to chew on—maybe see if you can find a model that comes equipped with dual tuners...

Picked up an Elgato USB tuner (A850 model), got the software running, and honestly—it works great.
I just set my recordings via the Electronic Program Guide, minimize the app to the system tray, and call it a day. When the time hits, the recording kicks off right on schedule. The video quality is decent enough—standard MPEG 2...
The only catch is that our local Electronic Program Guide is about as reliable as the Amtrak schedule... totally useless... 😁
