    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!

    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 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.

    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.

    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?"
