Can an iPad Pro Replace a Mac?

The iPad Pro, the Apple tablet that today, for those of Cupertino is a "super computer". It has had good acceptance among tablet lovers and more of those who have had some iPad before. This iPad came in response to Apple's need to showcase a simple but at the same time professional equipment , and that better than turning one of the most famous products after the iPhone, into a powerful work tool. Is the iPad Pro really a supercomputer? So much to be able to replace on a Mac? In this post will expose several positions by which we can come to think if this is true or false.

Apple proves it, yes it is possible to work on an iPad Pro

The different announcements on YouTube regarding this product, since its launch, show a team able to perform the tasks we do every day on a Mac, but it all depends on the type of user you are. Apple relies on the Smart Keyboard and the Apple Pencil to complement the experience, but it is not at all cheap to equip with these accessories. In the end, it is more convenient to buy accessories from third parties to try to improve the experience.

It can be said that the most complex tasks are not possible to perform on the iPad Pro for two reasons, applications (which will be discussed in more detail in the next section) and adaptation to which must be submitted by users . This is where the question arises: What to choose, an iPad or a Mac? If you are willing to adapt to a tablet with complementary accessories and if you like the product , there is no other choice. The MacBook and MacBook Pro 2016 in price are the highest that have existed in laptops in recent times, the iPad Pro is below them.

Applications are the future of iPad as long as iOS is the operating system

The iPad Pro, a device very pleasing to the eye

We have seen that applications in recent times have become fundamental pillars of smartphones, but in the case of the iPad something special happens. The developers in the Apple environment have made creations that in the case of iOS are fundamental for the iPad. And this last is something that Cupertino know how to boast very well. You are an employee of a company, you dedicate to education as a teacher or you are an independent in your work, the iPad can come very well you just have to have the necessary applications for it .

The ease with the macOS account can not be compared to that of iOS, so many users can not abandon macOS by having an iPad with iOS. This is because the iPad is a device where you can view files, multimedia content and in the best cases, capture information through a word processor.

If we speak more in depth,  those applications dedicated to people of photography and drawing are wonderful to use the Apple Pencil. The apps themselves have been updated to be compatible with the Apple Pencil and make the most of this accessory. If you are an expert in drawing, or you are dedicated to the design world, surely the iPad Pro seemed the ideal device. But if your profession or vocation is different it probably does not seem so attractive to you.

Is the iPad Pro for me?

Multitasking is already possible on the iPad since iOS 9

After adapting, there may come something positive or negative. It will depend on your profession if you take little or a lot of it. If a Mac seems exaggerated by its price and you think you will not get much, the iPad for portability and features could be attractive.

If we put ourselves as an example, Apple editors 5 × 1, an iPad could be a tool more than enough although when we dedicate to upload images, make covers or some attractive image for a post we use applications like Adobe Photoshop and Preview in MacOS. Although on the iPad we find Photoshop but without all the features we have in Mac and Photos, the equivalent of Vista Preview, is not entirely productive for us .
