“After spending a month with the top-end iPad Pro – 128GB of storage and Wi-Fi/LTE connectivity – I can confirm my initial impressions from last month: The first version of Apple’s tablets to go bigger rather than smaller is fast, responsive, lasts all day on battery, and with optional accessories like the Apple Pencil and Smart Keyboard, I expect it to further encroach on the territory of traditional laptops in the office,” Michael deAgonia writes for Computerworld.
“Without the right software, even the best-looking hardware is a brick. It’s clear many of iOS 9’s features were designed with the iPad Pro in mind. Specifically, Slide Over, Split View and Picture in Picture really take advantage of the larger screen,” deAgonia writes. “I’ve found I can be as productive writing on the iPad Pro (working with Safari on one half of the screen and Pages on the other half) as I am using a similar setup on my 15-in. MacBook Pro.”
“There’s no denying the iPad Pro is a productivity device. I’ve written many reviews on my iPads, but the Pro is particularly adept at getting things done,” deAgonia writes. “This review was written on the iPad Pro; about 85% written and researched sitting on my lap in landscape, without any accessories at all. The other 15% of my time was spent trying out the two keyboards.”
