These 2 things are huge for some people, including me. I had been using a 2019 MacBook Pro 13 until I picked up the latest iPad Pro 12.9, mainly for the pencil support (I draw things sometimes). The difference in screens is (to me) ridiculous! The aspect ratio, brightness and 120Hz make the iPad display the best 13" laptop I have ever used. The MacBook Pro looks kinds of sickly & squashed by comparison. It makes me wonder if Apple actually cares about the Mac laptops anymore.
Also, the processor in the iPad Pro is so fast, I honestly don't need any more speed for now[1].
[1] yes, yes, on an infinite timeline...etc...
- ogre_codes 6y agoI have the 1st gen 12.9" iPad Pro and love it. For the bigger size, there is obviously no option with the Air. I can believe the Pro display makes a big difference, I suspect this is one of the most under-appreciated advantages of the Pro. I still find it a bit of a weird time for the Pro though. I'm hoping we'll see a new pro in the spring? Or maybe they'll release it before the end of the year when they put out the new Macs.
