In front of the iPad there are at least a couple of reactions. The first is that of those who do not leave home even to dream, I used to read the paper by train, by plane to see a movie, during a meeting to take notes or show a slide. If it must put a keyboard, but does so reluctantly. In the second group there are those who use it for apps, videos, consultation of web pages but do not ask him to give up his pc / mac must switch to a more productive.
The iPad Pro tries to groped the second with Apple Pencil, with gyroscope and accelerometer, a keyboard that attaches with a magnetic connector and do not need power, a new processor A9X – double speed and capacity graphics than the previous – and new apps. True, Steve Jobs had said that no one would want to use a stylus on the iPhone, but now Apple claims that the technology is ready to appreciate the difference compared to the fingers. And the iPad Pro is not an iPhone. What is certain is that the iPad Pro makes its two elements introduced on most models from Samsung (in the case of the nib) and Microsoft (keyboard Surface).
The iPad, born only five years ago, has had a success beyond all expectations but somewhere quarter sales mark a rallentameno. So Apple is part of a segment that has shown the Surface exist and be able to give some satisfaction to Microsoft (two quarters ago posted revenues of nearly $ 900 million, while last but fell behind the renewal of the range ).
Let’s take up the iPad Pro. It is big: the 12.9-inch diagonal does not go unnoticed. You can not use with the versatility of the iPad Air 2 even if the weight is a surprise: 723 grams for the WiFi + 4G model, not the new MacBook that is still under the kilo. The display is remarkable 2732×2048 resolution and 5.6 million pixels. See photos is a pleasure. Even more videos: Apple insists little on this aspect in the marketing campaign, but it is as if he had built his TV. For the use made of it in the era of Netflix, it is a great ally of the small screen in the consumption of the TV series and more mobile. The sound comes from four loudspeakers in the corners of the tablet and “moves” leveraging the gyroscope to understand if we are using it in portrait or landscape, bringing closer to our ears high. Another aspect not emphasized by Apple: it has great potential for video games.
Always remaining within normal use, the large display is appreciated multitasking introduced by iOS9, editing video – even in 4 k – with iMovie, presentations and Microsoft Office package that can exploit Apple Pencil.
This really behaves like a pencil on a sheet. When it senses contact, the surface of the tablet initiate a scan of 240 times per second, twice the normal. To see the true potential in design we asked the opinion of Laura Cattaneo, head of digital design of the Sole 24 Ore (hence its review, output of Nòva of Sunday, November 22) and Francesco Franchi, art director of IL (view video evidence ). The opinion is generally positive, even if no one feels to say that the iPad Pro can replace a MacBook Pro.
Even Tim Cook, as recently told Independent.ie that the objective Apple is not to create a converged device with the Mac, and that is not even the demand of consumers. In the search for hybrid forms Microsoft has made a different choice pointing right on a converged device: the Surface Book as well as being the first laptop of the company is also capable of becoming a single tablet with the Windows 10 operating system.
To do what makes a PC / Mac what is lacking is a real iPad Pro file manager, a touch pad on the keyboard, an operating system designed for a device of this type (for example, the Mac OS is multitasking more full respect for iOS). In addition however the iPad Pro has the touch. For those who thought? It will appeal to niche markets such as designers, researchers and doctors particularly digitized. App as “Complete Anatomy” made by 3D4Medical can serve in the ward to highlight individual diseases on the human skeleton in three dimensions. Others will come and help you better define the line between Mac and iPad, as long as it will hold. It could be useful for business activities where central presentations and images with use of graphics. The price is approaching the Mac: from 919 to 1249 Euros the tablet, other 179 € if you want the smart keyboard, other 109 € if you want the Apple pencil. You get over 1500 Euros.
