In certain sectors, the arrival of the iPad Pro 9.7 it was welcomed with some coldness; and is that at the end of the day, we could argue that in a matter of specifications we are closer to a iPad Air 3 what of a Surface Pro 4. We have given the Apple tablet many laps since its launch, but the product still lacked some tests where it could be compared with its larger brother, apparently better equipped.
Apple is not a spec company, but a experiences and in that sense, the iPad Pro 9.7 measures up to iOS 9. As the writing of Anandtech, the results in daily use are very close to those of the 12,9-inch model despite having less RAM and a somewhat low-speed processor. The problem for those who demand productive muscle remains that this tablet works with a lightweight operating system, even if he is capable of doing tricks in it.
iPad Pro 9.7: navigation test
In web browsing, Apple's latest machine reveals very similar performance to the 12,9-inch iPad Pro and indeed the Air 2 lags a little behind in relation to both. Either way, we see the apple quite adequately lead this ranking, although we miss the presence of a Snapdragon 820 (in addition to the LG G5) and Galaxy S7 ; since the S6 and Tab S2, the only representatives of Samsung, are models from a year ago.
iPad Pro 9.7: graphic section
This is where a balance is much more inclined towards the model of 12,9 inches, but we must take into account an important factor, and that is that the iPad Pro 9.7 must deal with a significantly lower number of pixels which makes the differences between the two devices hardly noticeable in terms of direct visualization. In the direct comparison with the Air 2, however, the generational leap becomes much more apparent
iPad Pro 9.7: write speed
The results of this test should be taken with some skepticism since the iPad Pro 9.7 variant used has nothing less than 256 GB of internal memory and that is something that can affect the speed of writing to the disk. Again, Apple returns to get some overwhelming data and difficult to manage for the rest of the manufacturers; and the fact is that, although little by little the fence narrows, the block is very capable of achieve extraordinary things with iOS, reaching where Android does not reach.
