Post by: Redaktion on May 22, 2024, 16:57:37
The iPad Pro is Apple's premium tablet, featuring the same powerful M-series chips found in Macs. But does it live up to the hype? Some new models might not be the upgrade you're expecting, and could even be considered a downgrade. Here are the top four things to be aware of before making your purchase.

Of course it's not worth the hype. Apple has provided no compelling case for the NPU, the price is ridiculous, they feature cripple lower tiers, the OS is worthless for real work and wastes the potential of the M4 chip. Buy the iPad Air, or a Macbook Air which is far better value.

Exactly.

I have a number of iPads (4) including one Pro that uses the Apple M1.

I've found no use or compelling reason to "upgrade" it to M2, M3 and surely not M4!

Sure, fine - I'm retired but even when working none of my Apple products were ever involved in my work. (like MOST of us, the Company I worked for PROVIDED IT resources for me to do THEIR work on which did not involve Apple products)

Please give the iPadpro a dual boot capability  both Mas os and the regular ones. A camera out output to other cameras would  be great  as well as external drive and large battery  options.
