Apple’s new 9.7-inch iPad Pro is the ultimate PC replacement?
Last night during Apple’s event, Phil Schiller, Senior Vice President of World at the technology giant announced that the 9.7-inch is the “ultimate PC replacement“. Well, to that I’d say, “Rubbish!” Citing the “600 million” PC users still stuck on five year old PCs, Schiller said, “That’s really sad.”
I’ve got a five year old PC and it’s running perfectly fine! So, thank you very much. 2011 was the year Intel launched its stellar Sandy Bridge platform and it wouldn’t be much of a stretch to say that there’s been nothing like it since. There’s no way I’d exchange my Intel i5 for an iPad.
But what’s up with Apple? Why the sudden push towards a Pro platform and this talk of the iPad, of all things, as a PC replacement?
developers were still learning how to deal with the mobile browsing experience and concepts such as responsive design were still relatively new.
