I stated at the top it was an opinion.
You don't think carrying an adapter is lame.
I do.
Both are opinions. And do you know what makes either of them right? Nothing. They are personal preferences.
I was agreeing with you.

I don't know what kind of work you do, but do you expect that your professional conversations are recorded without your knowledge or permission?

I feel like they're trying to recapture the magic of the "I'm a Mac, and I'm a PC" ads. But very unsuccessfully.
There is no one definition of Pro, that's the whole point. Apple or any other company is free to define it however they wish.Have you eve seen a commercial aimed at automation or programming ? Apple is positioning the iPad Pro as a basic laptop replacement and you are moving the goal posts about it being used by professionals . Let's wait for these ads and have a chat after....they will not happen
Actually apple has a completely different definition of pro, it's about extra $$$ and nothing to do with the notion of people who consider themselves pros.

The biggest hurdle, I feel, is that many people are too used to working on a PC and their mindset is stuck "doing things the PC way", which can make iOS workflows seem quirky or inaccessible in comparison.
Take for instance the file manager. I see many people clamouring for one here. Personally, having used an iPad for so long, I have grown accustomed to having all my files silo'ed by app and find the idea of having to navigate through a central hierarchy of folders just to locate the file I want inconvenient and incongruent.
My point is this - the iPad is a lot more capable than many people give it credit for, and the ads aim at giving people a taste of what it can be used for, as well as change their mindset that tablets are mainly for consumption. I don't see anything wrong with that.

And I really only need to run 1 when teaching in the classroom, or two side-by-side outside.Well it gets back to a simple few points: Can only run 4 apps concurrently in Maxipad pro,
Aside from the Lightning to vga adaptor, everything else can be done wirelessly.No ports,
As mentioned above, that's the way I like it.no file system to speak of,
Still better than the state of updates on windows.expensive, too many security prompts,
It's functional, and most of your time will be spent within apps anyways.old UI ,
Such as?bad use of space on apps,
No idea what you mean here.an afterthougtht...
Is it "a" future worth crowing about if people purchase 2-in-1 tablets mainly because that's the only laptop available but end up using only the laptop portion while ignoring / neglecting the tablet aspect?Other than that it may be the nicest tablet (and should be at the pricing) , it is not the nicest 2-in1 though, 2-in-1 or 2-in-1 are the future not tablets .
I've done extensive writing on my iPads, and I think they're awesome for that. I think the biggest problem with the iPad as a pro device is the App Store. Subscriptions are a very clumsy solution to the need for paid upgrades.I still don't think it can replace a laptop for anyone using it for more than some content consumption and very basic email / note taking.
Definitely a less effective device for school (in the context of writing essays etc).
Like you're writing that from the Congo...That's a little first-world of you, isn't it?![]()
Well, if you had paid attention, you might have seen that Apple actually did show a very real advantage. None of my paper note pads ever recorded the lectures I sat through.I like the way Apple suggests you replace a £1 notepad and pen with £750 worth of iPad and Apple pencil to take notes!

They are fake people whose message is meant to believeare these twitter people real? i searched for the worrrd guy and he's some white kid?
Ahh I do have it, but I haven't used it.They need someone like Ken Segall back in charge.

Scanner Pro by Readdle.
Don't panic.If Tim thinks this can or should replace a computer that can be connected to real keyboard and 2x24inch screens, for a majority of people involved in "knowledge work", then we, as a society have a big problem and potentially an existential crisis.
Indeed, it breathes a "I am Tim, and you were Steve" sentimentI feel like they're trying to recapture the magic of the "I'm a Mac, and I'm a PC" ads. But very unsuccessfully.
Nice try, but the world appears to discern Pro Pro's from selfdeclared/grumpy Pro's.There is no one definition of Pro, that's the whole point. Apple or any other company is free to define it however they wish.
You make a valid point.
Let me ask you . Do you adapt to the tool or buy the tool that improves your efficiency?
You seem the example of the next generation, who wouldn't give up their iPad multitouch experience but would benefit from a richer MacOS, expandable true multiwindow/multiscreen environment.To me, it's a combination of both. It's not everyday you find the perfect tool for your needs right out of the box and so to get what you need, so there invariably will be some compromise involved.
Case in point - I got my first iPad in 2012. After playing around with it for a while, I saw that it would offer some benefits over the windows tablet laptop my school issued me, but in order to use it effectively in the classroom, I would need to get used to the idiosyncrasies of iOS.
For me, what the iPad offered me then was an improved ability to work with PDFs (something my locked down laptop was ill-equipped to handle), an inbuilt camera for scanning and the mobility offered by AirPlay mirroring. It was also thinner and lighter than my work laptop, and felt less buggy to use.
And to master the iPad, I would have to learn to get files onto the iPad (which meant a long tedious process of converting my teaching material to PDF and uploading them to Dropbox), purchase new apps and resign myself to the fact that there were some tasks which are (were) just more inefficient on a tablet. Thankfully, I discovered a website known as "Macstories", and years of trial and error has followed thereafter, where I purchased one app after another, all to find that ever-elusive ideal workflow.
Over the years, Apple has steadily improved the capabilities of the iPad. The Apple TV gained peer to peer AirPlay (doing away with the need for a router), the iPad Pro added the Apple Pencil and split-screen, apps have improved in functionality while iOS gained better sharing features such as airdrop.
Meanwhile, extensive use of the iPad has made me far more comfortable interacting with iOS compared to macOS. Because all my files are on Dropbox, it has allowed me to work from anywhere (some colleagues even text me over the weekend for a document they forgot to copy from their school network). My workflow has more or less settled, and it has been a tiring (I have the battle scars and tons of horror stories to share) but fun journey.
So to me, the iPad is a tool like any other device. What you want to get out of it depends on how much effort you are willing to invest into making it work. For others, it's not worth it. For me, I can't imagine giving this up. Ever.
You seem the example of the next generation, who wouldn't give up their iPad multitouch experience but would benefit from a richer MacOS, expandable true multiwindow/multiscreen environment.
You're being denied by Apple as long as it refuses to integrate that SW/HW into a new experience
But I might be wrong (if you're comfortably playing with your TouchBar..)
There are plenty of apps - but is your company ok with using apps that potentially do the OCR or other image enhancement on servers outside of the company, transferring all the scans over the internet?
