Why iPad Pro can not replace the MacBook?

iPad Pro - gorgeous plate. But do not listen to those who will tell you that it can be used as the main tool for the job instead of the MacBook. It is simply impossible for reasons of not only technical, but also ideological.

Power - is not important

The computing power for everyday tasks in the choice between the iPad Pro and, for example, 12-inch MacBook or MacBook Air does not play any role. Filling these devices equally well to cope with email, editing documents, surfing the web, image processing and so on.




If you type text in the iPad Pro with an external keyboard, it feels it is close to the MacBook. But it is nothing like self-deception. Out of habit, and then you try to find the touch trackpad, and then move the hand on the touch screen. Any notice on the screen will distract you, but the keyboard is not a special type of Escape key to close the unwanted items.

world File

One of the main reasons why the Mac is the main tool for the job is the fact that its operating system is primarily a platform files, and then later applications.

When you open a text file on your computer, you do not think that it is associated with TextEdit. Your first thought: this is a document in .txt format, so you can open it in BBEdit, TextEdit, Highland and any other editor. The main focus on the Mac is turned to the files, the software is only a supplement to it. On the iPad is just the opposite: on the tablet Apple tried to get away from concepts such as files, shifting the focus to the application.

Using a computer with OS X, you realize that you can freely interact with the files and they often determine your range of tasks. You do not need to know the location of absolutely all files on the disk, but it is very important to have quick access to them and can choose any compatible program.

Universal machine

Throughout the entire period of its existence MacBook proved to be reliable and comfortable cars, suitable to perform the tasks of any complexity and do not require annual renewal. iPhone and iPad may be the most popular Apple devices, but in terms of an effective tool for everyday and professional use MacBook is still out of competition.

We all love Apple smartphones and tablets: they are beautiful, compact, and very often we come to the rescue. But you must admit that serious tasks require a full computer or laptop, which can not replace any device running iOS, including the iPad Pro. To date, there are no serious prerequisites for change in this situation in the foreseeable future.
