![]() In the commercial, they show moving content around with their finger. Is one Apple product knocking another because of a missing hardware feature that Apple is 100% in control of providing? I think there is undoubtedly a market for a Mac laptop with LTE, but Apple has never made it an option. ![]() Which product is this a knock on? There are PCs with built-in LTE service, but there aren’t Macs. My question here is where is Apple’s version of Final Cut Pro and Logic for iPad? If the iPad Pro is the worth the money Apple charges for it, they should show the way for developers by making pro-level apps. The iPad is an extremely versatile device. It’s Like A…Īpple goes to list a scanner, camera, notepad, multimedia editing suite, music editor, and a book reader. They were after the best computer on the market. People who prefer Apple products were never after the fastest computer on the market. If I were always after the fastest hardware, I would have never purchased a Powerbook G4 back in 2005. Yes, the iPad hardware is amazing, but people buy computers for software first. It’s more powerful than what? Are we comparing it to a PC or a Mac? Is this a knock on Intel? The current promotion on iPad hardware is like selling a Ferrari on a dirt road. But the iPad is not, and I don’t see how anyone can deny that.īefore we go any further, go ahead and watch the commercial.Īpple’s reasons the iPad Pro can be your next computer: It’s More Powerful Than Most Computers But software-wise, the iPad platform is nowhere near as far along after 8 years as the Mac was a generation ago. The new iPad Pro hardware might be the best consumer computer hardware ever made - the only rivals are the iPhone XS and XR. When the Mac was 8 years old in 1992, System 7 had been launched, and it was a very advanced platform, suitable for work of any kind. Steve Jobs was still around to introduce it. I know some of you are going to disagree with me immediately, but just give me a moment.īut, I will object to one thing: the iPad feels like a young platform, yes, but it’s not young. And I’ve been thinking, is the iPad Pro worth the money?Īs I was killing time last week, I was reading John Gruber’s link to Jason Snell’s iPad review, and I was shaking my head in agreement here. While I’ve been a big proponent of the iPad for a long time (I’ve bought 500+ iPads over the past eight years), I think the video shows serious flaws with Apple’s mindset at the moment. By comparison, the MacBook Air M2 (2022) saw us through an 11 hour flight with just 30 minutes break in writing, and we walked off the plane with 53 per cent battery left.A few days ago, Apple released a new ad for the iPad Pro that gives five reasons it can be ‘your next computer.’ While I thought the ad was well done, I did come away from it frustrated. That means for us, we'd get around 5 hours writing time from this device. ![]() Meanwhile, when we were writing with the Magic Keyboard attached, the battery dropped by around 20 per cent an hour. You could of course drop the brightness down, and downloaded content would use less battery presumably, but dropping the brightness takes away from the experience. We watched Bohemian Rhapsody through the Apple TV app with the screen on full brightness and the battery went from 100 per cent to 65 per cent by the end of the 2 hour 15 minute film, suggesting you'd get between six and seven hours for continuous video streaming. That said, in our experience, you wouldn't get the full 10 hours watching video either. Use the iPad Pro for editing images and video and you'll see the battery deplete quite a bit quicker than watching or streaming video. We had the 1TB model in for review so naturally that will help with performance, but overall, the iPad Pro 12.9-inch is an exceptionally capable device, and we would expect that to be the case in the lower storage options too. There's 8GB of RAM for the 128GB, 256GB and 512GB storage options, while the 1TB and 2TB variants get 16GB of RAM. Everything we threw at the iPad Pro resulted in a smooth and consistent experience with no lag, whether that was photo editing in Adobe Lightroom, drawing in Procreate, or designing in Affinity Designer, loading, importing, editing, or saving large files were no issue. The iPad Pro 12.9-inch (2022) handles the running of iPadOS seamlessly, opening and running apps lightning fast, but the M2 chip is also more than capable when it comes to editing multiple RAW files at once, dealing with 4K video and drawing to your heart's content. ![]() This is the same chipset as the MacBook Air (2022) offers and it's a huge amount of power, resulting in incredible performance in use.
