I just don’t see how an iPad Pro could ever really work as a computer replacement for true professional workflows. I’m talking about multitasking between final cut, building a website, creating assets in photoshop, taking screenshots, downloading things from an email...these are daily tasks for me. An iPad would struggle to do one of these at a time let alone all of them at once. iOS is just too limited to ever make it a real “pro” machine. For limited things like a photography workflow or photoshop workflow, maybe, if that’s all you do. So I think it’s time to give up on the idea of an iPad as a true pro machine. It will never replace your laptop and Apple doesn’t want it to. It’s a shame though because the hardware is certainly capable enough. It would require Apple basically throwing out iOS for iPad and designing a whole new way of interacting just for iPad. iOS is great for iPhones but not great for professional applications. It would be cool, but I doubt Apple will do it.
