I have the iPad Pro running RDP to my Windows desktop machine so I can access some desktop apps. The speed is incredible. I can multitask that with handwriting recognition in iOS apps and also have Pencil, touch and mouse input on the Windows. I can copy and paste between both platforms.
I just wish all the VNC solutions for accessing my Mac Pro were as good as Microsoft's. They are either slowish, lack good input or have too much reduced video quality.

Yes light=good, and love to touch interface, agreed, some of us as mentioned about these perceived shortcomings in osx, some would like them, others would not.
In context of native sound,there really is no 'better' sound IMHO, they both sound terrible, and i prefer to either use my Yamaha amp, or my headphones.
I would hardly say it's 'way better'. A small appreciable improvement, and still no way near as beautiful as my 5k rImac or my LG 4K OLED HDR.
Pencil!!!
I prefer the sciences and am a clinician, bask weaving artistic enterprises that necessitate a pencil have little use for me
To be brutally honest, I've hated every pencil that i have ever used on any slate-like platform. I feel the pencil that came the surface pro 4 is more accurate and feels more el natural than the apple iteration, and i dislike MS a lot, but will give props for the SP3/4.
-instant on/off??? My MBP and RiMac are pure blade PCIeSSDs, neither take any appreciable length of time to wake from sleep, when compared to waking my ipad, albeit touch id has sped thins up to passcode, and is much faster at waking than previous models [and i have had every ipad models since they first launched] but it is not like i wake several minutes for my osx machines to wake, maybe back in 2004, before i switched to osx.
Not really, this really can be contextualised by the modus of whether additional equipment is used. If one is strictly speaking about native FT, i still agree. However, try a decent camera, and a decent external mic juxtaposed with a large 20" 4k IPS screen hooked up to my MBP, no comparison. Talking to the monster-in-law has never been so frightful.
The MBP can:
- handle true multitasking; i can run windows, linux, chrome safari, each with multiple tabs, and rapidly switch between desktops, much faster than the ipad.
- run windows 10 [] and linux [
-runs much more power consuming apps, and can run full native apps
-has finder and allows a true multifaceted and elborate and textured structures of files.
-spotlight is so much more effective on osx than ios
-all the advantages of osx>>>>>>ios
-LAN connection to my fibre broadband, when you live in a flat in a large uk city, with a quadrillion other people living close by utilising precious bandwidth, LAN via a gigbit switch has revolutionise my home network. I even experimented with wireless AC, and found LAN more consistent and reliable all round.
- Can run any background live wallpaper that i fancy, without spending aeons searching optimising decent background apps. I have yet to find a wallpaper on the iPad that can rival the likes of

- office on the ipad with a steadfast keyboard cover can really add a new dimension to productivity, but for complex wordprocessing, or extensive excel spreadsheets, my MBP and office is still far superior and more efficient.
-I have all my local files stored on a q-syn server on my home NAS, this means i can access any document, open, save, close and it is instantly stored with the amended changes across numerous devices, without storage limitations and the process is incredibly quick. When using QfileHD, as compared to windows or osx, the absence of an inherent file system explorer like finder,and going through the process of downloading a file to my iPad, making changes in a subsequent programme, then re-uploading, is so much more inefficient and cumbersome in ios than osx/windows, that i gave using Q sync with my ipad. Unfortunately, after much reserach and desperation on the forums, the limitations do not lie with the gfile app, but the inherent limitations of ios and the ipad.
- Moving large files, especially large audio/movie files is hard a pleasure or simply from my ipad. Thanks to a usb3 on mbp and my NAS, and TB externals storage drives through my lacie, i can move gbs of data with ease.
-I do not edit video or msuic much, but from the little i do, there is no question that osx running native apps are far superior to an ipad.
Never claimed to make that statement, just objectively stated on the superiority of osx>ios, and MBP>ipad in certain instances.
My ideal set-up would be my Rimac, Ipad-pro, and a smaller iphone + my watch.
I have had every iteration of the ipad from launch, bar a couple, and almost always had them with a keyboard. I currently have the ipad air 2 with a belkin qode pro backlit keyboard, one of the best ever made for an ipad. My sister and my mum have the pros and i can honestly state that i will pass on the upgrade due to the limitations of ios. Furthermore, i hav been using OSX since tiger, and ios since the iphone 3g, and seldom have i ever thought that ios is better than osx.
For my needs, an ipad pro running a variant of osx would be apple nirvana .
I did not specifically state the air, and i myself use the MBP. For further elucidation and explanation see above.
