Trends in the tech industry are cyclical. We first wanted a smaller and smaller phone, now it seems that bigger equals better. The same seems to apply in the tablet world, especially now that Apple’s new iPad Pro, with a screen of up to nearly 13 inches tall, has unveiled
.
<- rspeak_start ->
The first acquaintance with the iPad Pro is a shock:! this thing is really big . With 12.9-inch device is as big as the screen of an average laptop. However, Apple’s clever that he 6.4mm and 713 grams yet is quite handy. It is lighter than the first iPad, which does time already quite cumbersome thing was called. He is probably still a bit too heavy to hold long in one hand, but he’s not really made for.
No, the iPad Pro is really meant for people who want to do something productive on their tablet . The large screen is exactly two iPad Air Displays wide, giving you thanks to the new multitasking features of iOS operating nine two full applications can run side by side. Think for example of a word processor left and right browser. As someone who works so for a while on the iPad Air 2 with a beta version of iOS nine I can say that the large screen of the Pro it is a relief in this.
For the rest behaves device literally as a great iPad, which of course should come as no surprise. Tablet really comes into its own with two accessories:. Apple Pencil, and Smart Keyboard
Apple Pencil
The optional stylus is primarily intended for people who want to do a lot of graphic work on an iPad. The device is connected to the tablet via Bluetooth and then it is possible to sketch, draw and Photo Shop. Of course it is also possible to use the Pencil as a species of mouse, but a finger is sufficient in these cases, of course, also simply.
The gadget is pressure-sensitive, so harder pressures during drawing, for example, yields thicker lines on. He can also see how you hold it diagonally, allowing you to make broad sweeping. During the short test period I was able to determine that the Pencil works very smoothly and accurately. Graphic designers who are using a tablet, for example, Wacom several hundreds or thousands of euros, there will be the nose to pick up, but it works fine.
Smart Keyboard
Like an iPad Stylus Pro still not enough on the Surface tablets from Microsoft makes it seem, Apple has also developed a special pouch containing a built-in keyboard. This can be confirmed by means of a special magnetic connector, which allows data to and current is fed to the keyboard. The cover can be folded so that the iPad Pro neatly upright, though it is not possible to adjust it, as it can at the Surface
will Typing -. To the extent that in a few sentences can be tested – ok. The texture of the keyboard feels a bit soft and is getting used to. The keys themselves do not go very deep and reminiscent of the new Macbook. Not an ultimate keyboard so, but the move will do comply.
Other gadgets
Finally, still striking about the iPad Pro is how rapidly it is . You can also stay in iMovie without problems three videos in 4K resolution can fit in one movie. Multitasking also went very smoothly and without hitches. Without any problems I could play video and with the kaartenapp some play.
Conclusion
Apple iPad Pro clearly envisioning a niche market. The device is simply too large to be of interest to “normal” consumers. However, people who want to be productive can have on their tablet much to this new iPad. Especially the fact that you two apps in iPad Air-size can run side by side, will be very convenient for many people

The next “innovation” is that they attach the keyboard there permanently. But oh woe if you say ‘that’s just a laptop?’, Then me Apple fanboys still angry!
For use with a mouse at Citrix Citrix X1 mouse is available
Stay regret that the Pro has no mouse support. I work very often en remotely via citrix would be perfect if I could send in my citrix so a mouse pointer via the iPad Pro, but Apple will not touch it.
Most of the vacation leave there for shooting !!!
What let us make yet again simply mad
… When everything is about the story behind it, whether it’s true is not true, so what Apple beats the story … Apple has compared with its attitude. norms and values the life given by a foundation where everyone is at their own level can and must cooperate. Pim
Beautiful for the medical world and for music producers. Plenty of space and a high resolution. And yet, Apple remains the best tablet. I now have several androids use. But remains prof. Given the better plus the residual value is higher …..
I think apple is not the first with such a format tablet, why such a fuss this is not innovative at all just like multitasking, of course it is a good product but it’s all so high blow the tower.
Nonsense. You buy it because it is convenient and practical beautiful. The name means nothing to me. Also I have everything Apple. Samsung looks fine but when I started, I had all of Samsung Samsung. Simply practical. Nothing more nothing less
Henk: indeed you hit the nail on the head. Apple fanatics always feel a little socially superior.
Is still logical, a small phone is useful if you can just call and play MP3s. With a smartphone you do so much more and then a larger screen very handy.
For photoshopping and edit movies, especially the memory is still far too little? Max 128gb I do not call ‘pro’
Many people place great value on the Apple logo because that means status and you want to be seen with. An absurd price tag that adheres to is irrelevant.
Continues nice stuff … Now hold still affordable for the Dutch market …
