Recently Apple had released new iPad Pro. New in all the way like hardware, look and feel too. iPad Pro hardware is at another level and they perform so good. To date 2018 iPad Pro is the most powerful, most beautiful and most impressive iPad yet. So does it can replace your laptop. Let see.
Little more about iPad Pro
It is crazy thin and light weight. So holding such huge iPad will be no problem for everyone. Come is two different sizes as 11 inch model which is around $799 and 12.9 inch model $999. You can choose between space gray and silver versions. In my opinion space gray look cool than silver. Both have nearly bezel less display. I have mention nearly not fully. Still you can see thin bezel around the iPad which is identical in all around the display. Contain huge speakers good for music. Actually quality of those speakers are incredible.
Do you know that iPad pro is build is so amazing. Because you can hold it still on a table without falling or any support. Battery life is more good than I thought. because going so thin and light weight mean you have to sacrifice battery. In this case it is not. I don’t no how apple achieve this. How ever it is really great to have such thin with increased battery life.
Camera on iPad is same as iPhone XS and iPhone XR. As always camera will not fit on this thin iPad. You can see camera bump on the back side of the iPad. Camera is at very corner of iPad so don’t worry of touching your camera every time you use. For me it I rarely touches the camera.
Huge disadvantage of having such camera bump is that you have to use iPad came. If not camera is the first thing touches when you put your iPad on flat surface. Does this iPad too shaky when on flat surface.
Nope. Camera bump doesn’t affect at all. there are special lining at top and bottom of iPad to prevent this and stop touching the camera every time you put your expensive iPad on flat surface.
No finger print reader, No home button, No headphone jack in new Ipad Pro. But it has Face ID and it works on any orientation. So it can be portrait, landscape, up side down nor matter what it works. In front iPad is so uniform and you may find difficulty of finding which side is up just only by looking front side only. Don’t bother it works very well on any of the way you hold you iPad. So what happen if you are covering the face ID sensor. It may happen because bezels are so thin and there is high chance of covering those sensors using your hands. Apple know it before we does. So they have added some tweak to prevent it by showing little arrow to inform that you are covering required sensors like FaceID.
Display is one of it best kind 120Hz IPS LCD display. Super accurate colors, great viewing angles and very bright. Since iPad pro powered by A12 Bionic chip which is the fasted chip that can go inside a mobile device. So actually this iPad is much more faster than many other laptops including some Mac books. Apple pencil is much more better than previous one. No more stupid charging method used on previous models. Now it can stick on side of the iPad with magnets and it can wirelessly charge.
So its time to answer main Question. Does 2018 iPad pro can replace your Laptop. Short answer No. Long answer may be. It is because how much powerful and faster is this iPad Pro does not matter because it comes with IOS 12 not MAC OS. iPad has more storage than laptop, it has better display and it is touch screen still it is a tablet. Microsoft Surface tablet is much more like a laptop not iPad Pro.
But there are people who use laptop for various reasons where they can do their stuff using IOS 12 then iPad is the best choice they can go with Apple pencil.
Unexpected USB C disadvantages.
iPad comes with USB type C. You may think that this USB type C will allow you to connect everything you want. Nope. That’s where everything goes wrong. Thunderbolt accessories wan’t work at all like on laptop. Many of the USB type C accessories want work like many digital cameras. Still many devices support remember not all like your USB type C laptop because iPad runs on IOS 12 not MAC OS. Again iPad pro is not laptop replaceable it just do better everything that previous iPad can do with some extra features.
