>> Hey all, Marty here with another Friday Fines with Lynn.

Hey Lynn, how's it going?

>> It's going great. We've got a lot to talk about today.

>> Cool. Let's get to it.

>> So yeah, I was telling Marty,

we were talking before the show and I was like, you know what?

Everybody has to check their updates now because there's so much happening,

so many updates and so many different apps

that many of us use.

I guess the first thing we should talk about

is some really awesome news.

Did you wanna mention about the Final Cut Pro and--

• Yeah, sure.

So, yeah, there were some huge news

in the Apple world this week,

and that is Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro

are coming to the iPad.

And this has been a long time coming.

People have been wanting this for a really long time.

So basically Final Cut Pro is Apple's professional

video editing software and Logic Pro is Apple's professional

audio editing software.

And it's been on the computer for many years.

It's been a staple in both the video and the audio community

for many years now.

And people have been hankering to get these apps on the iPad.

The iPad has been something that they've been making

really overpowered hardware for in the past few years,

putting M processors into the iPads

and really fast RAM and hard drives,

but there hasn't really been the Apple professional software

to fit the hardware, but now there will be,

and it will really take advantage of that hardware

they've built building out.

So people are really excited about that.

They did redesign some of them in some areas

to fit the iPad more, you know, with some touch gestures,

with some new Apple pencil gestures,

depending on the version of iPad you have.

And all of this is gonna drop on May 23rd,

and it's going to be $5 a month or $50 a year for each app.

So not too bad for most people,

definitely at the professional level.

I thought it would have been a lot more money,

to be honest with you, but actually came in at a good price.

I think $5 or $5 a month or $5 a year

is actually a good deal.

So, Lynn, do you got any thoughts on this?

• I do, I think that as you and I

had been talking about before,

the iPad is really becoming a good,

almost a good MacBook Air replacement in a lot of ways,

considering that, well, it's less expensive, right?

• It depends which iPad you get.

Sometimes it can be pretty competitive,

but if you go with some of the higher end models,

it can be almost as much as a MacBook Air.

• And with the increased power of the iPads,

It could be actually an option now that more really powerful apps are coming online for the iPad to use it.

As I might have mentioned before, I'm somebody that likes to move with their tech.

I like my tech to move with me.

I don't necessarily like to be pinned to a desk.

Part of that is because I have some caregiver responsibilities with my mom.

Part of it is that i'm just kind of a jumpy and see person and i like to move around while i'm working and the ipad is a great.

Way to actually make that happen and now with the increase power and increase capabilities of the ipad it really i never thought i wanted an ipad cuz i'm totally blind and i always thought why would a blind person want an ipad but i can definitely see now.

where it's like that in between, the phone and the step up from the iPhone would be the iPad now.

And it's really becoming a device that is worth considering, I think, based on

apps like this coming on to the iPad and others a
