It would appear that you do not understand one simple thing: "specs" for professionals is equivalent to "experience" for masses. When uneducated masses (e.g. most Apple fans) evaluate a device they speak of "experience" simply because they do not know the technical details, the technology and the language behind the device. "Simple" man says "iPad is very smooth". Educated man knows that the tablet will feel smooth if the delay between the finger touch and device reaction is less than (say) 100ms. While "simple man" just notice that when he opens a few tabs in Safari on iPad the device becomes "less smooth", the educated man knows that this is because iPad has just 512MB of RAM and has to delete and re-load web pages because of that.
It's all about specs. Always.
And the reason why Apple devices are not suitable for corporate deployments is two-fold: too proprietary and hard to integrate into corporate environments and Apple corporate culture. While corporations need to have the road-maps for everything they plan to use/buy for a few years ahead, Apple never shares any information with anybody. Aren't you being a little irresponsible for pushing the iPads when you do not even know if Apple plans to continue selling them next year (because you know they might decide that light-sabers is a more profitable business, they may switch to Atom CPUs or replace iOS with steveOS at any minute thus causing huge expenses for your business).
