With the launch of the iPad Pro, many share the same sentiments that this device was obviously meant to rival Microsoft's Surface Book.
Following all of this is Apple CEO Tim Cook's claim that the iPad Pro is a perfect example of why users would be interested in a desktop personal computer (PC). In short, he believes that the iPad Pro is all that one would need, although there are some who will beg to differ.
Even though his stance is that the latest Apple product could more or less be enough for folks who are looking for a notebook or desktop, it remains that the device may have to do more than just words.
Using the iPad Pro as a replacement for a desktop may not generally cover all, although it seems that it could eventually be better than a PC.
That, of course, depends on a lot of things since a potential iPad-Mac hybrid could do away with a lot of things which may hamper its actual use. Even if the iPad-MacBook hybrid idea would have provisions like the Smart Keyboard or an Apple Pencil, there still seems to be something missing that a traditional desktop carries, making it hard to agree with Cook on his claim that nobody cares about PCs anymore, as reported by The Telegraph.
Software for example is a difference already. While there are tons of apps that can do pretty much what the desktop user would do on his workstation, the iPad Pro still comes a bit short on that depending on how one uses it.
Cook could be trying to be spur up something for the sake of argument and, of course, pushing the iPad Pro but such general statements will not be agreeable to all people, particularly the advanced desktop users who have made a living being productive with the usual workstation setup.
So as far as PC use is concerned, it is hard to digest how Cook came up with the idea unless he has something up his sleeve that has yet to be revealed. If not, the iPad Pro could be an alternative for desktops and tablets but certainly not one that can immediately replace them, at least not yet.
