The iPad pro not taking over a PC is a self-fulfilling prophecy as long as Apple does not allow it. With the mandatory App Store and its restricting rules, there are many things you just cannot do on an iPad. I wouldn't consider a MB Air, if the iPad had the same capabilities. That it doesn't have, is purely a software limitation.
- ksec 6y agoFor consumers and business users, you have Excel and Email. iPad already does 95% of what most Mac user do on their Desktop If not more and yet it hasn't taken over. It has not taken over by numbers, there isn't even a trend, projection or glimpse of hope anything has started. The tablet and PC is simply a different paradigm best suited for their own purpose. It is the same narrative that Smartphone will take over most of your computing needs. At first it seems obvious, Nations not been through PC era will go straight to Smartphone. And yet 5 years later the biggest growth area for PC are these Smartphone nations.
