    The 12.9-inch one has a miniLED-backlit screen "with 2596 full-array local dimming zones", which is supposed to be able to deliver greater contrast and brightness when viewing HDR content. It also weighs about a half-pound more, and requires a larger battery (40.88 watt hour versus 28.65 watt...

    It doesn't offend me. The idea that some people would use an iPad Pro as their main productivity tool, that is. I'm familiar enough with iPads to see where that is feasible now, and also well-aware of how personal computing developed from the early 8-bit days to where things are now...

    As would an updated version of the 12" Retina MacBook Pro. Keep the weight at 2 pounds; the excellent battery charge life; and the fast recharge. Then add a M1, two USB4( TB3 ) ports in place of one USB-C one, and a scissor-mechanism keyboard, That would fit nicely between the 1-pound 11"...

    I believe what he was saying is that Safari for iPad is an adequate replacement for a PC- or Mac-based Web browser, rather than comparing iPads to computers or other kinds of devices, as a whole. My iPad is not new enough / running a recent enough version of iOS/iPadOS for me to comment on...

    Yes – but they keep making the top of the line a lot better. You might be able to get a lower-level model for much cheaper than $2K that still improves on old top of the line models.
