And it's also the most affordable Apple notebook—with performance on par with the MBP—if you're willing to grab a Smart Keyboard and glue stick.The most powerful, not to mention most beautiful, tablet you can find anywhere.
I gather The desire for a mouse with the iPad, but is it really _that_ much of an issue that a consumer wouldn’t purchase this simply because they can’t connect to a mouse? No.
I agree. I wanted to pick up the 12.9 inch, but I just cannot justify spending at LEAST $1,000.00 on a machine I’d use for casual reading, work emails from the couch and a second screen while watching sports.I think just like with the Mac Pro and iMac Pro, Apple has clearly segmented a product to either professionals (who will use these products to earn money) or users with high discretionary spending on want the best. What is hard to determine at the moment is if these iPads are reasonably priced. There is no comparison to them at the moment.
Have you ever tried to make a precise selection using your fingers? It's absolutely horrifying. It takes half a minute just to select the right characters, while it's a second with the mouse. It's also super frustrating. Clipboard operations are unusable without a mouse and a keyboard.
I would prefer a Mac with pen support for drawing and handwriting math formulas.
This is probably due to Google limiting the max resolution it can show. They did something like this in the past when banned mobile from going fullscreen, I noticed this in in iOS browsers, not PCs. ProTube for iOS had 4K If I am not mistaken, so this must be Google’s fault.
Talent is created, not born.I wish I were talented enough to produce drawings like those in Procreate.
It’s undoubtedly the best iPad ever, but it’s still an iPad. If the prior gen was too limited to replace your laptop, this one will be too. Software innovation, not hardware, is what is needed to really move iPad to the next level.
But he did that ALL the timeI don't ever recall Steve Jobs bragging what other people wrote about his products. It reminds me of an old phrase used by certain women of the evening back in the days: "First to brag, first to sag."
There was a great article once, reviewing the MacBook Pro and showing how it just couldn't replace an iPad. I wish I could find that. It was funny and insightful.Why is it necessary that an iPad needs to replace your laptop? Mine doesn't and that's great. Sometimes I like using a laptop, sometimes a desktop, and sometimes an iPad. Depends on what I'm doing and how I feel like interacting at the time.
When did I say that an iPad needs to be able to replace a laptop? You’re misreading my comment.Why is it necessary that an iPad needs to replace your laptop? Mine doesn't and that's great.

I gather The desire for a mouse with the iPad, but is it really _that_ much of an issue that a consumer wouldn’t purchase this simply because they can’t connect to a mouse? No. Using the display for touch works perfectly fine, and I doubt that would persuade anyone otherwise to not want to purchase this new iPad for that reason alone.
Just like my 2017 iMacSo powerful but can it play YouTube 1440p+?
Try again. No support for royalty-free VP9 codec which can be found in $50 devices.
