The iPad Pro is not a Surface Pro 4

A few days ago we published an article in which we gave turns around the hybrid as a possible future of the tablet industry. Apple's latest move, by replacing the term iPad Air (connotations of lightness) by that of iPad Pro (professional connotations) within its product line, it continues to confirm that perspective, although there is still enough left to achieve productive efficiency in many areas.

Apple has something that nobody has: they were the first to make a tablet type slate successful, so much so that the Post PC era concept seemed like a safe bet. From there the App Store began to host applications optimized to the format and has a catalog of more than a million exclusive services. Google and Windows are not that they have less, it is that they are light years away. The iPad managed to remove the foundations of the computer, not without the help of iPhone and the fact of sharing iOS.

Right now, we are at a point where the battle between the desktop and the touchpad does not manage to eat too much ground with each other.

At Apple, the fetish still prevails, not the technical data

One of Steve Jobs' priorities was to avoid all the technical / computer hubbub to users in daily contact with their devices. The truth is that this philosophy has been a success, and although their tablets had a low RAM or a processor at low revolutions, for years we have seen how your iPad and iPhone showed a much higher speed than any Android.

Now, however, we speak in bigger words. No app adapted from a website or internet portal will ever be more complete than the written version. At best, you will aspire to be as close to her as possible. The 12.9-inch iPad Pro had opened up a possibility for evolution, with its 4GB of RAM. Nevertheless, the new 9.7 model, closes that path again and leaves Apple's mobile platform where it belongs for the moment.

Probably, the average user, a fan of Apple, will not care about the RAM, because the iPad Pro is a magnificent product, but closed and oriented to what it can really do efficiently. Someone who needs a machine minimally advanced performance (for both the operating system and the spec sheet), you should look elsewhere.  

The iPad Pro 9.7 is not a supercomputer, not even a normal computer

The iPad Pro is a tablet. It does not have many more laps. There are experts who even claim to notice deficiencies in a Surface Pro 4 (the closest thing to a computer in these parts) when compared to a laptop.

Obviously, an iPad (especially the Pro) is going to allow us to carry out certain types of work, but before launching ourselves to buy such a device we must be clear, precisely, what our work is. If you are thinking about work workshop, Has no sense. If we talk about professional text editing either. If we think about the need to be manipulating objects, the Apple Pencil something is going to help, but the comfort of the mouse is not enough.

The tablet can still be a good complement to work and can do a thousand things that on a computer are impossible or uncomfortable. Still, there are a few years until an iPad can move items of a certain weight in the way that a laptop does.
