The new iPad Pro has a more powerful processor, support for mice and trackpads and the tablet’s angle can be adjusted, making it easier to use in your lap or on a tabletop – just don’t call it a laptop
Apple may insist that the iPad Pro isn’t a laptop replacement, but this high-end tablet is closer than ever to becoming one, as evidenced by the new model announced this week.
If anything, the launch serves as another indication that Microsoft was onto something when it launched its Surface tablet/laptop hybrid in 2012, which is now nearly eight years old and popularised the concept of regularly using a keyboard and mouse with a tablet.
