Tablets are taking on more PC tasks, but ditching your laptop means

On Friday, we reported that Apple will be launching the iPad Pro next week in India for Rs 67,900. Apple’s keyboard is similar to the company’s Smart Cover for iPad, with a keyboard attached, and it only protects the screen.

Apple had the one thing going for it since the very beginning of the iPad series, iOS apps that were optimised for the iPad’s display; and there were plenty of them. However, another device from the Apple stable made its debut at the conference which was the iPad Pro.

The last advantage of the iPad Pro over the iPad Air 2 is the iPad Pro’s new speaker system.

Microsoft’s answer to the same was in the form of the Surface Pro 4 and it seriously packs in plenty of horsepower for a tablet with the new Skylake chipsets. Apple iPad Pro retails for a $799 and Google Pixel C will cost $499, which is some difference. It also combines desktop-class CPU performance and powerful new multitasking features to deliver real-time data, comprehensive news, technical graphs, portfolio tracking and Instant Bloomberg (IB) to Bloomberg customers. The new business app is meticulously built for the premium branded tablet’s 12.9 inch Retina display and supports functions based on the Apple Pencil technology. Apparently, Apple wanted to provide the iPad Pro a leveled playing field when it comes to sales.

Camera wise, both Apple iPad tablets have an 8-megapixel rear-facing camera and an 1.2-megapixel front-facing camera. It will sport a 9.7 inch 4K screen with a resolution of 2334 x 3112 pixels.

Apple Music: Apple’s on-demand music streaming service is a little bit late to the game, but it offers the music industry better economics since there is no ad-supported free version. For those of you who’ve had a less-than-perfect experience, we’re sorry for any frustration this has caused. It still had its critics but a hands on examination reveals the remarkable qualities of the big screen tablets. There’s still room for improvement, but for now, the Create is your best option if you want to do a lot of typing on the iPad Pro. Users have also complained of the Surface Book and Surface Pro 4 losing battery life at an unusually high rate when in sleep or standby.

The processor is probably the one getting the most boost for the “iPad Air 3”.
