Hello guys. It's time for some thoughts regarding the iPad Pro 
I currently have a MacBook Pro Late 2008 with all the possible upgrades (8 GB RAM and Samsung 850 EVO SSD) and an iPad mini 1. I currently use the Mac for:
This little introduction was important to understand better if the iPad Pro is the right product for me (and for everyone else with my specs) or not. You know, for me the iPad Pro will never 100% replace the MacBook Pro: Final Cut Pro X is not (yet) available on the iPad Pro and some other things (like Torrent downloads) are pretty difficult to reproduce on the iPad Pro (for now). But what about the rest? Web browsing? Email? The iPad is just perfect for these things.
It's 2 years I'm in the mood of buying a new MacBook Pro, but the high price for the top configuration and the fact that my MacBook Pro is still performing great with pretty all the usual things, has always stopped me. The great things I like about the new Macs (a part from the highest specs) is the battery (my Mac has only 2-3 hours) and the Retina Display. And now this iPad Pro is changing my thoughts... It has the 2 specs I really love of the new Macs (battery and Retina), it has power and it has the right screen dimension.
So, should I buy a new super powered MacBook Pro (for not less than 3000$) to use it on its top specs only on 10% of the time (FCPX) and 90% of the time not using its great specs.... or spend 1000$ for the iPad Pro, using it at the top of the specs for everything and keep the MacBook Pro Late 2008 for FCPX editings?
I'm currently really thinking of buying the iPad Pro, sell the iPad mini and keep the MacBook Pro Late 2008 just for FCPX and the other less things that the iPad can't do...
I know that there are other people like me, so I'm waiting for your thoughts. Thank you and sorry for the loooong post

- usual things (email/web navigation)
- some less common things (Wordpress/Torrent downloads/streaming to Apple TV)
- some Pro things (Final Cut Pro X editing)
