Microsoft updates Word, Excel and PowerPoint for iPad with trackpad support and more

Apple unveiled the iPad Pro to the world in 2018, but the real story at the event was the fact that Apple invited Microsoft to the event to demo just how well the iPad Pro could run MS Office. Since then, Apple has been working on changing the iPad from a “content consumption” centric device to one that’s geared towards learning, content creation and productivity. We see this with the newest iPad Air that's been launched with support for the Apple Pencil and Magic Keyboard compatibility. Apple's iPadOS 14 only takes that much further. Today, Microsoft has taken a big step ahead in that goal, by updating the Office suite for iPad to offer some much requested features.

One of the major new features added to MS Word, Excel and PowerPoint is trackpad support. The new Magic Keyboard from Apple features a decently sized trackpad, which can now be used to select text in doc files, select a number of cells in Excel and move objects around in PowerPoint. For anyone wondering, the trackpad support for Word, Excel and PowerPoint isn’t just for the trackpad integrated into the Magic Keyboard. If you’re using an external or third party trackpad paired with your iPad, they will work just fine as well.

In addition to trackpad support, Word and PowerPoint are also getting true multitasking support. Users will now be able to run two instances of the apps docked right next to each other if needed. This is great especially when it comes to MS Word, as often users would want to have one reference document open while they write up a report on the other. The same goes for PowerPoint, in case you want to move assets from one presentation into another. Microsoft in its official blogpost said that there are a number of new features that the company is working on, to be released in the course of the next few months. One feature in particular that the company calls out is the ability to open two Excel sheets side by side, a feature that Word and PowerPoint are both getting right now. Another big feature expected to be released is offline file support for files in the cloud.

The iPad, iPad Air and iPad Pro are the three tablets in Apple's portfolio that the company has designed for all kinds of uses. While the Pro series has found favour with power users and content creators, the latest iPad Air, we expect, will find a lot of takers in the form of people who need a thin and light powerful machine without a hefty price-tag. Not to mention, all iPad models do tend to offer far more battery life in comparison to their laptop counterparts.

Xbox Series X, Series S unboxing videos showcase the size difference between the two consoles

Following the unboxing of the Sony PlayStation 5 yesterday, it was only a matter of time before we saw unboxing videos of Microsoft’s next gen console. Thankfully, we didn’t have to wait too long as 24 hours later, we now have a slew of unboxing videos of the Xbox Series X and the Series S. If you don’t know yet, the Series S is designed to be a more affordable console that is limited to 1440p and does not feature a disk drive.

All of the Xbox unboxing videos seem to note the size difference between the two consoles. While the Xbox Series X is described as quite large and hefty, almost everyone is surprised at the relative small size of the Series S. The presenters appreciated the thought that Microsoft put in packaging the Series X console. While the Series S wasn’t as meticulously packaged, it wasn’t bad as well. 

So let’s get to the unboxings, shall we? Gamespot’s unboxing video pointed out how the Xbox Series X wrapping was sort of like gift wrapping. It’s pretty apt considering the fact that the console will launch in time for Christmas. They also note the use of AA batteries for the controller as Microsoft has decided to stick with that method. 

Besides the console and manuals you get:

An HDMI 2.1 cable The charging cable A black controller  Two AA batteries

Coming to the Series S, Gamespot notes that the Series S comes with pretty much the same thing. However, it is noted that it features an HDMI 2.0 cable and not an HDMI 2.1 cable like you get in the Series X. This makes sense because the Series S has a maximum output of 1440p, so it doesn’t really need the ultra-high speed cable.

Regardless, here is what you get in the box besides the console and documentation: 

An HDMI 2.0 cable The charging cable A white controller Two AA batteries 

Youtuber, Kevin Kenson unboxed both the consoles together. So you can get a better idea of what the Xbox Series X and Series S look like side-by-side.

Of course, the big question is, is the Xbox Series X larger than the Sony PlayStation 5, which was also pretty huge. IGN’s video compares the sizes of both the consoles with the PS5 and Sony’s machine dwarfs them both. In fact, there is a quick cut of the Series X being compared to a bunch of other consoles as well including the PS3 and the original Xbox One.

With the unboxing videos for Microsoft and Sony’s console out of the way. We can now just sit back and wait for both the consoles to be globally available. Regardless of which side you are on. It’s an exciting few months for console gaming.
