16-17 inch Ipad Pro?
Sometimes I use ipad 12.9 for reading, it is nice in terms of running quickly, different texts at the same time, many other features.
What I lack are two things:
1. Bigger screen. Once I was choosing between smaller and larger version of ipad, I was afraid that the bigger one would be too clumsy or too big. But 12.9 finally turned out to be no big at all, in my experience, and after some time it began to feel like it can be bigger. As the screen is bigger in 15 inch Macbook Pro, with the exception that I did not need the keyboard in some tasks, and that the screen in MBP is not the touch screen.
2. Mac's Notebook with the detachable screen, as in Microsoft's Surface Book 2, but with Mac's quality and the screen touch operation. From my personal experience with the latest Macbook Pro's screen, it feels better to the eyes that the Surface Book 2's screen, but what Mac lacks is the option of the detachable screen and the touch option.
In some tasks the notebook's keyboard is not quite required, so the autonomous screen would serve all the needs.
Who may need such a big screen? Well there is a whole array of tasks, when one needs to keep a large screen, on which simultaneously a few windows are opened side by side, and also you can take notes. For many such tasks stylus is enough, keyboard not needed.
Conclusions:
My needs would be filled with either Ipad of 14-15 inch with the capacitative screen with the detachable smart keyboard
and/or
with the Apples' analogue of Microsoft Surface Book 2 (with the option of the additional detachable plastic keyboard, which would be of lighter weight than the regular aliminium keyboard with the additional videocard).
Again, why am I not quite satisified with the Microsof Surface Book 2. First I have the 13 inch model, its screen is thicker that the Ipad's one and Macbook Pro's one. It is getting warmer than the Ipad, not hot, but sometimes it raises some concerns. Also, the screen is not as good as the Apple's ones. I am going to put up that it is headache to run Win programs on MacBook Pro.
I would rather have a detachable "Mac Pad Pro" device, since it is easier to find the way to run Win programs under it, than on Ipad's system. Yes, there are some programs made only for Windows. So, the Mac Pad Pro 14-15 inch would be a better option for me than 14-15 inch Ipad Pro Plus, unless the later also runs Mac's OS.
