Esikhathini esingaphezu konyaka odlule, i-SolidSmack kubika ukuthi abadali be-Astropad I-Astro HQ baxhase ngempumelelo iphrojekthi yabo yakamuva - I-Luna Display - ku-Kickstarter, sebehlanganise imali engaphezu kuka-$645,000 ukuze lenze iphrojekthi iphile. Izingxenyekazi zekhompuyutha (ezincane) nohlelo lokusebenza oluhambisanayo luthi luguqula kalula noma iyiphi i-iPad ibe isibonisi sesibili.
Awu, manje isilapha; sikuzamile, futhi kuyamangaza.
Umlingo ongemuva kwenkundla uvela emandleni ayo okuthola amandla ngokuqondile ekhadini lemifanekiso elikhona—okuphambene “nokugebenga” ukuze kunikwe amandla isibonisi esilingisiwe njengezinhlelo zokusebenza ezifanayo emakethe. Eqinisweni, uma ujwayele ukusebenza ngezibonisi ezimbili, uyazi-ke i-drill. Kodwa njengokuhlangenwe nakho okulula ukusetha okumangazayo kwabaklami nama-ninjas wokukhiqiza ekuhambeni, ukuba nekhono lokupakisha ukusethwa kwakho kokuqapha okubili emkhonweni ongemuva wesikhwama kuzwakala kungezona ezemvelo (ngendlela enhle) futhi enamandla ngokumangalisayo.
Ekuhlolweni kwethu, sisebenzise i-iPad Pro njengesibonisi sesibili ku-MacBook Air. Ukusetha kuthathe isikhathi esingaphansi kwamaminithi angu-3 futhi kwakuhilela ukulanda (mahhala) izinhlelo zokusebenza kudivayisi ngayinye yezingxenyekazi zekhompuyutha—nge-dongle encane ebomvana elingana ne-Chiclet (etholakala ku-USB-C noma ku-Mini Displayport) exhuma ku-MacBook Air—futhi ixhume kokubili nge-WiFi. Ukusuka lapho, ukuhudula iwindi elisindayo le-Photoshop CC emuva naphambili phakathi kwezikrini kwakuqathaniswa (kokubili ekubambeni kwesithombe nekhwalithi yesithombe) nokuhudula iwindi elifanayo phakathi kwezibonisi ezimbili ze-Cinema ngemuva kwayo. Ngaphandle, nge-Luna Display, ngingakwazi ukulingana ukusethwa kokugeleza komsebenzi okuneziqaphi ezimbili ngaphakathi kwesikhwama futhi ngisenayo indawo yama-IPA kanye nesemishi.
“Sithuthukise i-Luna ngoba sasazi ukuthi kunesixazululo esingcono kunokuthembela kuhlelo lokusebenza ukuze siguqule i-iPad ibe isibonisi sesibili,” kuchaza abasunguli be-Astro HQ uMat Ronge noGiovanni Donelli, abake basebenza njengonjiniyela kwa-Apple.
“Izinhlelo zokusebenza zesofthiwe zigqekeza ngokoqobo ikhadi lakho lezithombe, ziletha isithombe esibi nesingathembekile. Isoftware ikhohlisa iMac yakho ukuthi icabange ukuthi isibonisi sinamathiselwe, kanti empeleni ayitholi nzuzo yokusheshisa ihluzo noma ukwesekwa kweMetal GPU. Kufana nokuthenga imoto bese usebenzisa ingxenye yenjini kuphela. Ngakho ngokungafani nezinhlelo zokusebenza zesofthiwe, i-Luna ihlanganisa amandla aluhlaza ekhadi lakho lezithombe, ikunikeza inzuzo ephelele yokusheshisa kwezithombe zayo - iletha imonitha yesibili emangalisayo engenazintambo ezingu-100%.
Namuhla i-Luna iyatholakala emphakathini $79.99. Ukuthenga ngakunye kufaka iyunithi yehadiwe ye-Luna (i-USB-C noma i-Mini DisplayPort) kanye nokufinyelela kuzinhlelo zokusebenza zamahhala ze-Luna Display Mac ne-iPad. Futhi kulabo abamangazayo; yebo, uLuna uhlanganisa ngokugcwele I-Astropad, isofthiwe yenkampani yokudweba eshintsha i-iPad ibe ithebhulethi yezithombe ye-Mac.
