Absolutely wrong! At times the iPad is actually a better creation device than a laptop or desktop. It all depends upon what you are doing. If you see iPad as only a consumption device you are missing the boat or are being willfully ignorant.
How?

Are you really that out of touch. I can print to an HP at work anytime I want to. It is just a matter of modern hardware.LOL, enjoy your content creation device that can only create letters. What a great excuse. Mean while you can't even print it without the assistance of a computer.![]()
apple is sad...just sad...
apple should have a big update for each year rather than minor spec bump.
Maybe need to focus more on MP.

"You can print, as long as you buy a newer printer. Or you can get a laptop that can print from practically any printer."
Yeah, you're making a great case there.

I'm not sure which side you're on, but Apple also sells the best laptops that money can buy. What is this argument really about? Whether a tablet, phone or laptop, Apple still has the best option for your money. Sounds like a win to me.

Apple consumers are sad, just sad. Consumers should smile big each year rather than demand more and more and more and more when they don't even plan to buy that more and more and more. Talking heads.
The truth is that Apple is delivering amazing technology each year at a steady, consistent pace. They are leaders in many areas, with competitors trying to keep up with them. That can't be ignored. Specs are one thing, but the end-user experience is something entirely different and that can not be compromised at any cost.
It wouldn't be an iPad with a built in keyboard. If it is running Mac OS it is a Mac, there is no need to run away until you see the machine.That would ruin the MBA!
Apple would lose me as a customer (but maybe they think there are enough people who would want an iPad with a built in keyboard).

I kept waiting and waiting, assuming that, surely, Apple would be releasing a new display in the fall prior to the release of the Mac Pro. Nope, nope, nope.
I've said it on these forums before, but it's still perplexing that Apple didn't do a silent refresh to USB3 at some point, or a full refresh after the tapered edge iMacs came out....
I'm also a company man; I wanted to plunk my cash down on an Apple display, but I could absolutely not justify paying 2011 full price for a display that's nearly 3 years old (or older) technology-wise.
I really wish Intel had more competition. AMD is a bit of a joke. ARM isn't anywhere close to ready for primetime. Intel may be doing some very exciting R&D but their roadmap sucks.
Maybe in part but that is a small part. Intel has been two or three process nodes ahead of the completion for years, that is a huge advantage!Their process advantage has always come in making huge amounts of them.
Sure it is. Intel is laying off people and holding back new product releases because they have been hit real hard by the decline of the Windows PC. Consumer demand for Windows is not likely to ever come back, so things are changing real fast at Intel.They still maintain that advantage, and that isn't likely to change.
Intel won't be the only ones trying to run 14nm in 2015.How is it slowly evaporating?
Designing them is part of making them. You can't design a processor without some idea of what process you are targeting.Also, when did Apple start making processors? I know they design them,
Which again is the feature size. If Intel and Apple both end up shipping 14nm processors in 2015 then Intels process advantage has evaporated. Frankly Intel reminds me of Kodak right now in that they apparently can't see the writing on the wall. I mention Kodak because their big vacant industrial park is just a drive across town. In a nut shell Intel needs to pull head from the sand and look around with open eyes.but the process advantage is not dealing with R&D, but actually products being made.
It is superior in ONE way.
Also, yes, the biggest complaint about Windows RT is that it can't 'run full windows programs', which is an ARM issue.
No new Intel chips are worth a damn? They're some of the best chips on the market. If they aren't worth a damn, what does that say about every other chip out there?
Which won't happen until Skylake. 2016? Close to 2 years late is my guess.For example DDR4 support would be fantastic.
Hell a Mac can't do everything. The point I was making is that you can print to a printer from an iPad if you want. You don't even need a network.And if you don't have an Airplay printer?

I'm trying to point out that tablets can't do everything right now. The guy I quoted seems to be arguing that his iPad can do anything. Heck, he said his iPad is a better content creator than a laptop or a desktop.
So I can print from an iPad then?Either it is being relayed to a computer to a printer or the printer is newer and has its own drivers which means the printer is doing all the work like a computer. Also you can't do it via a wire.
Why do you bother with this? Almost everybody agrees that iPad is a computer. There's a always a pseudo autistic/obsessive type on these threads whose mind can't grasp that the definition of a computer might be becoming wider than what they have stuck in their head.

Intel only really cares about poaching the low end DGPU space. Now that they've done so there's not much incentive for them to push hard.If that is true it is just further evidence that Intel has lost it. Intel should be pushing real hard for DDR4 or one of the alternatives, because it is exactly what the integrated GPUs need.
I agree that Intel is clueless and that their processors suck but you are off base with your other comments. AMD has a good processor in Kaveri and if they increase the memory bandwidth a bit it would deliver world class iGPU performance. The AMD CPUs are lagging a bit but for many users that isn't a problem, performance is all about special execution units these days.
As for ARM they are more than ready. Apples A7 clearly demonstrates this. If you don't buy that look at AMDs new server based chips. ARM in its 64 bit form is very impressive considering the low power.
Hell a Mac can't do everything. The point I was making is that you can print to a printer from an iPad if you want. You don't even need a network.
As for content creation I never said it was a better content creator for every task but at time a better content creator for some tasks. Think of it as a different dirt of hammer you can drive railroad spikes with a tack hammer if you want but a sledge is a better choice. You grab an iPad for content creation when it is a better device. This is really simple to understand really.

By the way if you have a postscript printer and you send a file to it the printer is pretty much doing all the work of rendering that page! So tell me how this is significantly different than what the iPad does.
As to a wire, who would want to do that with a handheld device?
And if you don't have an Airplay printer?

You actually seem to be arguing that iPads can't do anything. You are right, iPads can't do everything, but that doesn't mean they are not computers. My iMac can't do everything either. How much the device does is not the measure of whether or not it is a computer.
The first computer I owned was built by NEC it had 16 Kilobytes of memory (after I purchased the 8 Kilobyte add on), and only storage it could take advantage of was a built in miniature cassette tape drive. It could only print to a miniature dot matrix printer on a roll of adding machine paper. the display was only 26 characters by eight lines. But it could be carried around easily and I built by first computer personal calendar on it. Used it for quite a while to keep track of my appointments.
It was defanitly a computer.
I know it is a computer, but YOU should use it for what it is best for. And I am arguing against a person who was saying that it is better at content creation, or some forms of it, than a laptop or desktop.
The 880M won't be much of an upgrade according to leaked specs. As it will still be using Kepler with VRAM bumped to 8 GB. It's basically a rebranded 780M. I suspect you would hit the GPU's limits before using all of that space.
At least for me playing X-Plane.
It wouldn't be an iPad with a built in keyboard. If it is running Mac OS it is a Mac, there is no need to run away until you see the machine.
Personally I don't see Apple doing this exactly as it would confuse the market. Rather I see them offering a different non Mac product that delivers much of the capability of Mac OS while running the current inventory if iPad apps without a hitch. This way Mac OS is left unmolested and heavy iPad users get an option to run multiple apps at the same time.
The real question is this, do they market it as an iOS device or as a new product line? Knowing Apple it will likely be marketed as a iOS device.
