The particular iPad Pro I’m using right now features LTE connectivity, so I’m able to check my email or watch an episodes of the Walking Dead on the train (if I wasn’t using the LTE version I could always tether to my iPhone). My commute on the train is about an hour, so I have a decent amount of time to get some work done, or watch Netflix.
It’s now 7:39am and the train is pulling into the station. Unfortunately driving into the city at 7:30am is torture, so I typically take the Go Train. MobileSyrup’s office is located in downtown Toronto and I live within about an hour drive of the city. At this point it’s about 6:15am, and my final task is a quick check of the site’s social media accounts before preparing to head into the office. Then I open MobileSyrup and look at what content was published throughout the night and to see the comments the community has written. Next, I open Facebook and Twitter side by side using the iPad’s multitasking feature in order to get caught up with any news I’ve missed while sleeping. I open my eyes, attempt to get adjusted to the brightness, and flip open the iPad Pro. If I was still using my Mac, I would have had the laptop sitting on on my night side table, but that’s no longer the case with the iPad Pro.
Here is a brief look at how the iPad Pro fit into my day as MobileSyrup’s social media manager:Īt 5:45am my alarm goes off and my Phillips Hue lights flip on signalling the start of my day.
Lastly, the optional Smart Keyboard has made a significant difference as well in terms of the tasks I’m capable of completing with the iPad Pro. I’ve also found that the Apple Pencil (it’s unfortunately sold separately) adds functionality for both creative and business use cases. Overall, I like the 12.9-inch iPad Pro’s large display and the ample screen real-estate it gives me for spread sheets, various applications and of media content like Netflix or YouTube. Over the past month, I’ve been using a combination of my MacBook Pro and the 12.9-inch iPad Pro, and I’ve concluded that Apple really does makes a compelling argument that the Pro is capable of offering the same functionality as a standard Mac. Over the last few weeks I set out to find the answer after switching over to the 12.9-inch iPad Pro for many of my daily tasks.īoth Apple and Microsoft are currently running various ads attempting to sell the idea that people can use their iPad, particularly the iPad Pro - or in Microsofts world, the Surface - as both a laptop and a tablet. But can a tablet really replace your laptop or desktop? Most modern tablet ads emphasize how the iPad or Surface can become your daily device, completely replacing the functions of a traditional Mac or PC.
