The internal speakers on my iPad Pro blow away any small sized Bluetooth speaker I have laying around. What is the use case for an iPad Pro? To be used by professionals as a _portable laptop_. Presentations are probably one of the top use cases and Apple can’t even get it right. If the iPad Pro is yet another consumption device then remove the bullshit pro moniker and just sell iPads.

Where is it written that a tablet is the same as a portable laptop? iPad Pro not designed as portable presentation tool, it's designed to be a portable touch-enabled apple device that can be used for creative workflows. The presentation setup, in apple's view, is an appletv connected to a tv and one or more HomePods for the audio. and you can use an iPad or iPhone or MacBook to cast to the screen+audio. Like I said before, it sux if you dont fit into this group (which is the masses) but they are not alone in focussing just on the masses

Now you’re putting words in my mouth and appearing dense. I never said it was the _same_ as a laptop. I said it’s used similarly. I have never once seen someone being “creative” on their iPad in a public setting. If you are correct and that is the use case for the masses we should see it being used as such everywhere. It is not.

    The only thing I can say is that we are in different parts of the world. Around me, a lot of people use the iPad to do drawings, animation, audio and video editing where a laptop or workstation is simply not possible because there's no desks / infrastructure to connect/power/store those products. The macbooks are indeed used more by developers, but as soon as you get into the more 'creative' areas, the iPad + pencil for those kind of things wins big time.

      > Around me As I said in another reply if you were forthcoming with the fact that you are basing your opinion in a vacuum (your environment) we most likely would have not went in circles. Instead you claimed “the masses” when in fact your area is a tiny percentage of iPad users worldwide.
