a Large iPad Pro went on sale, and the reviewers decided to speak out about it to give an authoritative assessment of the tablet with a diagonal of 12.9 inches, which Apple CEO Tim cook has positioned as a replacement for computers and laptops. And the first reviews of the professionals disagree with the opinion of the management of the "Apple" of the company.

by The Verge Editor Lauren Goode on the iPad Pro could not hold back the chuckle regarding trends. But after three days of use it asked the question: "Can it replace my MacBook?"

For the price of the tablet corresponds with its competitors in the segment: Surface Pro 4 at $ 900 and the MacBook Air for 1000 dollars. For the model of the iPad Pro with 32 GB of internal memory and Wi-Fi module asking $ 800, 128 GB and Wi-Fi plus mobile network — 1080 dollars. In this range you can also choose other models with different memory and network interfaces. Lauren is sure that the tablet is worth the money: large screen, thin frame, low weight compared with a laptop, high for iOS device a resolution of 2732×2048 pixels and productive A9X chip.

"But Apple sells features and opportunities", contradict yourself a journalist. She worked with a tablet and stylus to edit photos and videos, make a Christmas card and draw sketches. But to judge about the convenience of a professional designer or architect she came from. And the cost of the keyboard for the tablet browser called overrated: it has no backlight, doesn't require charging and do not need this for the tablet.

"This is not a replacement for a tablet PC", — said the girl. The tablet runs on a mobile OS, can only run two Windows apps at the same time, does not work with important desktop programs, and the imbalance between light and heavy keyboard screen especially noticeable when traveling in public transport.

With the conclusion agree with Lauren and Walt Mossberg. He says that tablets have changed the scenario of interaction with laptops to consume content, engage in correspondence and social networking easier on the iPad. But the Pro version it was not impressed: large and bulky to hold comfortably. And the keyboard — without backlight, and too easy, holds your tablet in a comfortable position on your lap. Useful iPad Pro, according to Mossberg, will be only for "big business".
