I argue there isn’t much point reasoning with your comment. Do you know what their workload is? an iPad has flaws for sure considering how many applications are missing but people do real work on the iPads everyday. You realise that right?
Yes. I work on mine everyday. But he said the machine is ‘too capable’. In computing in general, it’s only with the iPad that I have heard such things as it being ‘too capable’ or it has ‘too much ram’. Let’s be fair, these are ridiculous comments to make for a computing system. How on earth can it be too capable for any workload.
Maybe he was just being sarcastic, joking about how powerful it is. No reason to get all bent out of shape about it
They comment the same things all the time in every ‘I like the iPad’ thread. I’m not bent out of shape, don’t be absurd. It’s an Internet forum, you’re supposed to comment on things, as you have with me.
I agree. I came from a first generation iPad Pro. So for me, this has been a huge upgrade. It's a great device and as usual, it will take some time for all of its potential to be capitalized upon.
Coming from the 9.7 iPad Pro to the 2021 12.9 is incredible. Very pleased with it.
I am sure i would be enjoying it... IF i had upgraded my 2018 11” iPad Pro...but i didn’t. Not only because I still enjoy my current iPad... but the fact that the 2021 11” iPad Pro did not get a mini LED screen & “pro“ apps like Final Cut for the ipad Pro were not announced at WWDC. I think i will wait another year. 😉
Fair enough, although Apple isn’t the only purveyor of pro apps, there are plenty of good ones already available.
Sure am, so much so I sold my 2.5 year old 11” and my 5.5 year old 2015 fusion 27” iMac, all in with 12.9” and MGK.
I took a punt and bought on release day from a local retailer with no return unless faulty.
Got 50% back from what I paid for my old iMac and iPad too.
Tax right off and GST back. Happy days.

The only thing absurd is letting comments like that even bother you at this point but your life.
Nothing is bothering me chief 👍 Glad to see you care though, makes me feel all warm inside.
If that’s how you feel it surely beggars the question.. why did you buy it in the first place?
If it's 1/3 the cost, then that's not really apples to apples. Reckon that's comparing a base 64GB Air 4 ($550-600) with a 1TB Pro ($1499-1999).
The primary reason I get the iPad Pros is because I can't get the storage I want on the Air.
Having just 64GB storage on the iPad would result in a lot of frustration for me. It was frustrating enough back in 2012 and my storage needs have increased since then. I upgraded from the iPad 3 to 4 within 10 months just for 128GB. Updating apps would constantly fail on the iPad 3 because it kept dropping to 0MB free. Deciding which content I should delete to make room for more was agonizing.
Well to be fair you can get 256gb on the air. But it’s harder to justify getting the air if you do the storage upgrade when it’s so close to the iPad Pro pricing at that point
I absolutely love my new M1 iPad Pro! I have some extremely large Microsoft Excel files with complex formulas which benefit from the multi-core processing power of the M1. This thing puts my work-issued laptop with an Intel 10th gen I5 to shame. Formula’s that would take over 90 seconds to crunch are now processing in under 30 seconds.
And for me, ProMotion is an absolute must. The silky smooth scrolling makes me prefer to do any web scrolling on my iPad vs iPhone. And the speakers are loud enough that I can listen to podcasts just by setting it on the counter when I take a shower. I love that!
