The iPad Pro

I think ipad pro is too big and too expensive and his keyboard is too expensive also, i think i will stay with laptops

 

I have a Jot Pro for my mini and it works fantastically, and It's also about $100. In terms of the iPad Pro, this thing looks amazing, and so does the 6S! What a great year for iOS device releases!

 

I can't wait to play1000 holes of Desert Golfing on an iPad Pro then take it back to the shop and say 'I'm done now, thanks!'

 

I have zero interest in this. Way too big and heavy amd Way too expensive !!!

 

Same for me. I mainly use it as a laptop. It's actually a terrible tablet, which is why I still have an iPad. Considering a Mini 4 for actual travel. Not interested in the Pro; too big and I have no real reason to want the extra size.

 

Can you even use a Surface Pro in your lap? It doesn't look like that would work at all, that it has to sit on a table, at least if you're using the keyboard. Same is true of the iPad Pro keyboard.

 

I'm patiently waiting for the Air 3.

 

I for one, will definitely buy one, as soon as it is available.

Does anyone know this by the way:

How will current apps be displayed on the iPad Pro?
Will they just expand to the new resolution, just like iPhone games on the iPad?

 

I would say it'd be like the iPad (1024x768) to iPad 3 and higher (2048x1536) in that it'd just scale proportionately, being that the aspect ratio is exactly the same.

 

Its not heavy.. same weight as the original iPad

Its also meant to be used on a desk

 

Then why wouldn't I just buy a laptop.....

 

You cant draw on your laptop screen. this is not targeted at gamers

 

To be fair my Note Pro 12.2 did actually replace my laptop I gave it to my dad actually as I stopped using it, I can't really speak for the iPad pro but I can honestly do everything I really did with actually much longer battery life, I think I average about 13 hours screen on time when I do really push it but it's actually very hard to drain that tablet in a day.

Obviously the iPad might be a bit different as IOS doesn't really give you any file system access but the concept of a big tablet works very well in practice, the only downside I'd give it is it's not really suited to reading novels in bed which I did do with my old Nexus 7 but then neither is a laptop.

 

I can get a draw pad to hook up to the comp for like $80.

 

.......how?

 

Some people like the simplicity of iOS as opposed to other operating systems, I prefer a tablet to a laptop simply because there's less mucking around involved and I'm more likely to stay on track and not deviate tweaking some drivers or other system settings. If I want to work I'll use a desktop, if I want to relax, browse or read then I'll use a tablet. If I want to game I'll generally use a console, desktop or tablet. I personally find laptops uncomfortable for all those things.

 

probably the 9500mah battery and the octocore big/little exynos, when I have pushed the batterylife to it's maximum it's usually from watching TV shows from my MicroSD or my OTG pendrive.

I suspect I could actually get a higher batterylife if I disabled some of the base apps as I've seen claims of people getting 15/16 hours screen on time on XDA but to me I can get about 13 hours roughly without taking any special actions which I personally find brilliant.

Downsides it's a big pretty heavy tablet and I tend to want my bluetooth keyboard and Bose speaker with me when I use it (although it's built in stereo speakers aren't bad really as it's actually large enough to give a real stereo effect).

 

Professional designers use dedicated tablets for drawing and they are way more expensive then the iPad Pro+Stylus

 

Which still doesn't explain my original question, "why would anybody want this thing?"

 

Too big and too expensive, it's a NO from me
