I too see this as an advantage; sometimes I want to develop and tinker, sometimes I need to to get work done that does not require that freedom but does require: stability, focus, long battery life etc and for that the iPad pro with keyboard is perfect (in my opinion). I had a Surface Pro and for that ‘just work’ kind of experience it sucks in my experience; updates, crashes, battery life etc. It turns out 80% of my work can be done really well on the iPad Pro and I indeed find myself using it far more than my laptop these days. I think a combination has to screw up that experience as it has for all other more free devices besides maybe Android but there is no iPad quality hardware for Android.
