Apple quote, “The new iPad Pro is faster than 90% of PCs shipped in 2018.”

So why would they release such a statistic if it wasn’t pushing that it’s mission was to replace said devices?
Word definitions are factual, and it’s hard to debate against a fact. It’s quite professional to use words that can be backed by facts.
I too have a motorcycle, but
we cannot carry groceries (easily), we cannot enclose ourselves from foul weather, and we cannot be as protected in an accident. When you have a defective device, do you go to the store and expect a replacement of the same model or accept something with less features at the same price? You demand same as... so while my motorcycle does get me from A to B in the same manner as a car, it does not function as the same and is an alternative. Because if it were the same, why need a special motorcycle license, insurance, gear, etc.... because well it’s a car replacement?
I myself have an iPad Pro as my sole “PC”, and I made sacrifices to switch. Therefore I consider my iPad an alternative, as I downgraded my MBP features for a device that’s “faster than a laptop.”
