The iPad Pro 2018 is pretty impressive, a reason why Apple has been bragging that it can be considered as a possible alternative to traditional notebooks. The interface and performance has been impressive although this has not spared it from some elements that laptop users would normally look for.
Paired with a keyboard, the iPad Pro 2018 is something portable any busybody can turn to. However, first-time users may need to adjust early on to put it to good use - depending on how they will use it. Creating documents and spreadsheets should be a breeze but the case may not be similar for those who are into graphics or video editing.
Storage is a concern for those who have tons of files needed for reference and storage. The internal memory may not enough, meaning the need to additionally invest in an external hard drive would be a need. This help to ensure that all files stored can be moved when needed. One problem is that the tablet can only detect photos and videos, meaning help from other apps or the need to synchronize with iCloud is a need, Apple Insider said.
One key feature for the iPad Pro 2018 is the Apple Pencil. The peripheral is an input device, something that creative users will find handy. But for the standard users, a mouse is still preferred. Unfortunately, there is no support for it on the iPad Pro, somehow going against the pitch of making it a notebook alternative.
The iPad Pro 2018 does not fall short of power. This is because it does boast of an astounding amount of processing power. However, critics feel that the power is going to waste. A lot of the power has been concentrated on the apps although most feel that this is being wasted.
Hence, the processors are not being used to its full potential. Battery life is reportedly good for up to 10 hours, something that can be improved with the right power optimization.
There are also key iterations such as the removal of the headphone jacks, taking out the listening privacy that some folks prefer. Minor as it may seem, the need to bring an adapter or resort to wireless headsets is needed, another point where owners will need to adjust.
Regardless, the iPad Pro 2018 is a classy alternative for people on the go, Computer World said. It could serve as a great device and address the need to bring a bigger (and heavier) notebook around. But for the hardcore folks who need a mobile computing solution carrying all their devices and performing heavy tasks, the tablet may fall short of fulfilling such.
