So I finally had a look at the Apple videos for iPad Pro, using the stylus, etc. The latter seems really nice, if you happen to be a creative professional and want to have something very portable to draw on. The larger screen area and more accurate/responsive tracking of stylus movement is a real step up from the iPad, which people have managed to draw on up to this point. It's a little unimportant that they claim 'pixel' accuracy, since drawing is more suited to vector (resolution independent) approach. Maybe it matters if you are touching up (resolution dependent) photos, but you still have to zoom in to manipulate at pixel level.

But this is not 'pen computing', and it is not a 'laptop replacement' in any sense, as Surface Pro is. Once you set it up with a keyboard, it becomes an inferior laptop replacement. Laptops have trackpads or pointer things to manipulate a cursor, and that feature is simply (to me, glaringly) absent here.

Certainly this is the device to get if drawing is a big part of your life. For everyone else, this is just a bigger iPad, and yes, it has much better sound and 'immersion' if you are watching video a lot, for photography, etc.
