I think it's easier if you just click the link instead of replying with the comment. I found no reason why it shouldn't work. Here's the link again for your convenience.

Thanks! Sorry, I didn't realise it would work from my phone.

I've just purchased the iPad Pro but there is no way it could replace my laptop simply because of all the infuriating limitations Apple has deliberately imposed on iOS. For example I get a lot of emails so I find it useful to sort my emails by sender instead of by date. For some reason you still can't do that in the Mail app on iPad. That one simple restriction makes the iPad mail app completely useless for me so I have to use my laptop to read my emails. Tim Cook obviously doesn't get or read many emails on the road if all he travels with is an iPad and iPhone.

It's not a pro. It's the iPad XL.

A Pro would run OS X or a very cool hybrid of OS X and iOS. And it would have more RAM and config options. The Surface Pro 4 beats this thing on concept all day long.

Seriously? Don't know how many times it's been stated that OS X is NOT a touch friendly OS. Thus, you have iOS. And you want a hybrid? Why not shoehorn Windows 10 into the iPad while you're at it. I have the Pro and have to say that it's awesome. Not just because of the larger screen but being able to multitask with that kind of real estate really makes a difference.

The iPP is a niche product, as others have said. But you cannot underestimate the 'immersion" factor of this device. IMHO it probably will replace my 12" retina MacBook once I get the Apple keyboard. I truly love the 12' Macbook and I'll have a hard time passing it down to my kid who has a 6 year old MacBook 13". I'll also have some reluctance to pass down my iPad Air 2 to my other kid. But frankly the iPad Pro bridges these devices in a way that I never would expected.

But my needs are modest having a large late 2015 iMac, and a work provided late MacBook Pro with updated SSD. My only gap has to do with reading in bed when I pass down the iPad Air. Frankly speaking the iPad Pro is just too big for reading in bed. So maybe a Kindle is in order.

If you are a one device person then of course shoot high and get the most capable device you can afford. But also access your real needs and determine what you truly need. Otherwise shoot for the moon and brag about the horsepower.

If someone can help me figure this out: is the iPad Pro + Pencil a good student note-taking setup? I am interested in apps that support this and also translating handwriting into text. My wife has a rMB and we plan a to get a Wacom Pen Tablet for note taking in class, as she writes faster than she types, and she can also sketch stuff. If note-taking is something that the iPad Pro and Pencil will excel at, then we'll consider giving up the laptop. Thanks 🙂

Well...yes of course.

There is a difference between (1) a UI that simply adds more whitespace when using the app on a larger screen and (2) one that simply scales up the whole UI proportionally. For once that 'whitespace' can contain content and thus you see more content. Secondly, when elements like the on-screen keyboard get blown up (version 2), you get keys that are physically larger than than those you get from an app with a flexible layout, which means the keyboard will look different and have the keys in slightly different physical locations which messes with muscle memory and you don't get the extra keys the 'real' iPad Pro on-screen keyboard has.

On the iPhone 6 this also meant that the keyboard took up more space with apps that were simply upscaled from the iPhone 5 to iPhone 6 resolution. This might also be true on the iPad Pro (unless the iPad Pro native on-screen keyboard adds extra keys on top).

Tim Cook obviously doesn't get or read many emails on the road if all he travels with is an iPad and iPhone.

Or there might be exceptions from the rule [that you think you represent] that people that read a significant amount of emails routinely switch to sorting by sender.

You sound like a heavy user of email. Laptop is probably the right choice because of that.

I imagine Tim Cook has two email addresses: the public one that is filtered by a secretary or PR specialist, and his real Apple employment email address. OR he has a secretary filter ALL his work email.

No doubt he has a private one, too, but then I doubt ut has a work strength level of incoming email.
