As the market for portable computers that possess features of both tablets and laptops takes off, Apple's new iPad Pro is leading a pack that looks more like a winning compromise in a weakened tablet market.
due to the worsening coronavirus pandemic. The new iPad marks another step in the device's march toward looking, feeling and behaving like a laptop. Over the past few years, this slow morph has helped the iPad gain significant share in a market where, overall, sales have been declining since their height in 2014.
Because of this, you don't see many 2-in-1 devices in the wild, and analysts say that with the exception of theSurface, no one really has come up with a compelling model. Apple, with its stronghold over its own hardware, software and chips, might have an opportunity to do what it did with tablets the first time around and remake the 2-in-1 market, pulling share from mobile PCs that command the enterprise market.
Laptops are the world's choice for work, and machines running Windows dominate. But as Apple responds by beefing up the iPad's processing power and evolves its design to make it more comfortable for the daily grind — typing, navigating screens by mouse and trackpad — it's likely that the tablet-turned-detachable will continue to have a starring role in Apple's lineup. It's still anyone's guess, though, how blurry the line becomes between iPads and MacBooks.
The latest iPad Pro aims to tackle this problem with its new OS. Its new Magic Keyboard, which is backlit and fit with a trackpad and cursor support, attaches magnetically to the device — sort of suspending it in the air — and is adjustable up to 130 degrees. Apple also stated in a release that the iPad Pro's new A12Z Bionic chip makes it "faster and more powerful than most Windows PC laptops.
