I don't really understand the argument that a mouse option should be added to the iPad. The whole idea of the iOS UI is that it is geared towards touch input. You throw a mouse into the mix, and suddenly it's like Windows 8 Metro. Why would you just not use a laptop?
Why are people choosing the iPad Pro and Smart Keyboard as a dumbed down productivity device vs. the MacBook?
The prices (for the same amount of storage) differ by only £100, and the iPad Pro with Smart Keyboard weighs 1.06KG whereas the MacBook weighs 0.92KG.
One runs a phone OS, the other a desktop OS which has had 15 years of advancement. iOS feels like they are shackling productivity features onto the side, whereas OS X was designed from the get-go to be a productive operating system.
Am I being backwards thinking here?
