So at work we ordered in an iPad pro to see if it plus a pencil and AirPlay make a good interactive whiteboard replacement. Since we are still waiting for the pencil I thought I would have a play then factory wipe it when it comes.

I'm not sure if it's the size of it , the fact I can do split screen side by side apps, the 4gb ram or this speedy processor. But I want one now! Did not think I would, but I really want one. I have an iPad Air and an iPad mini, which I use regularly , but I'm using this differently , I'm happily working in excel with safari open next to it with a few tabs, YouTube in the background with speakers that for a tablet are very good. I'm typing this on it and it feels as comfortable to type on as my MacBooks.

If Apple really push iOS in iOS 10 feature wise, I think Apple may have fully nailed the tablet. Whilst i never minded doing lots of typing on my iPads it always felt better on my Mac , that gap has definatley now closed , it's really taken me by surprise as I just thought the pro was a bigger iPad until I fully used one for a few hours. Cannot wait for the pencil now.
 
It really just is a bigger iPad. And with that follows a bigger screen. A full size keyboard can be used with the older iPads as well.

It can't replace a laptop and it makes a really bad, heavy tablet.
