Is iPad Pro good for Business or Working?

Introduction

Apple has tried to compete with some PC concepts, especially with Microsoft’s Surface Pro, with a more capable version of their flagship tablet. We have tried the latest version, the one with the 9.7” screen, and this is what we experienced in terms of its usefulness for work and other work related tasks.

We have focused on our personal experience and on our daily working needs so a lot of you surely won’t agree with our final thoughts. However, these are ours and they have been reached after two weeks of heavy usage.

Hardware and software

I think it’s important to briefly talk about the iPad Pro’s hardware, specifically the 9.7” model, in order to focus on the options and storage capacities it can offer. We’re talking about a medium sized tablet which features a retina display with the standard retina resolution. However, the screen on this model has better color capabilities than the traditional iPad models. The display offers more color depth, less glare and is also much brighter. True Tone technology makes it one of the market’s most capable display, giving it the ability to adapt perfectly to ambient light via a four channel sensor.

iPad Pro

The screen also includes a stylus called the Apple Pencil, which will be sold separately for more than 100 Euros. Inside lies an Apple A9X processor with two high performance cores and a graphics processor, making it one of the most powerful SOCs available. It comes with 2GB of RAM and a minimum of storage capacity of 32GB, but also available are a 64 and 128 GB versions.
