When tablets first came out, everyone was wondering if they could ditch their laptop, but it was a new category of device, not a replacement. Until now…Microsoft Surface Pro pulled ahead of the iPad in providing laptop functionality in a tablet form, and giving customers what they wanted. I think Apple awoke to this late, and is working to regain ground, but this latest release shows they’ve picked up the challenge. And from all appearances, are delivering magnificently. The keyboard design is better (closer to the screen), the screen is better (follows same color schema as movie industry), the Apple Pencil is unrivaled in degree of interaction, and it’s actually more powerful than most laptops on the market.I think this’ll definitely be my next upgrade, and maybe even sell my existing laptop to migrate to this form factor.In any event, check out the video describing the new experience, and what Apple is calling “an uncompromising vision of personal computing for the modern world”. I think I agree.
