That's interesting, endless waffle about CPU engineering changes here and there, then they basically gloss over the fact that this Pro is forever limited to running a neutered iOS system (but you know, 2 apps simultaneously now!).
- TillE 11y agoI think the Pro in particular is interesting if you stop trying to see it as a complete replacement for a desktop PC (which it never ever will be), and instead look at it as a specialized tool that's better than a laptop at certain things. Personally, I'm probably going to buy a second gen iPad Pro just for reading textbook-sized books. But there are many other potential uses.
- revelation 11y agoWhat am I missing? The review explicitly mentions that they think this is a contender to the Surface Pro. And frankly, that's a joke.
- melted 11y agoSurface Pro is a joke. It's just plain unstable, and high maintenance. iPad is zero maintenance, which is about the right amount a regular user should be required to do in year 2016.
- ZanyProgrammer 11y ago"I think the Pro in particular is interesting if you stop trying to see it as a complete replacement for a desktop PC (which it never ever will be)" But isn't that what every pundit, tech writer and commenter has said over the past several years? That for non power users, locked down ARM tablets will easily suffice instead of a bulky, shitty Windows machine?
