In a new advertisement, Apple continues its campaign to convince customers that its new iPad Pros are the perfect successor or replacement for classic PCs. "What is a computer?" asks the new clip.
In the half-minute ad, the California-based company shows the iPad Pro as a full-fledged PC replacement, with a keyboard that "can easily be put away" and a screen that "you can touch and even type on."
Interestingly, throughout the clip, the iPad Pro is never mentioned by voice, only in the closing text message, which reads: "Imagine what your computer could do if your computer was an iPad Pro."
Apple's effort to position the iPad Pro in direct competition with current computers is evident and long-lasting. But how apt he remarked Andrew Cunningham on the web Ars Technica, "if you take the audio track (from this ad) and play it over the Surface 4 Pro video, you get a pretty good ad for a Microsoft product".
The tablet from Microsoft is so far closer to computers than the iPad Pro. It is increasingly considered a tablet, although Apple is constantly advancing its functionality and use so that it can be a real replacement for a PC. But it will still take some time to convince many users.
Nice effort, but I don't think it will replace a computer... I can already see how someone connects other peripherals, compresses videos, etc. :)
The tablet is only good for content consumers. Personally, I wouldn't even buy a tablet, I don't see any benefit in it. I have a laptop for creating, and for the rest like reading, writing messages, etc., a mobile phone is enough.
Content consumers are 99% of computer users.
The iPad Pro is simply perfect. I only send the computer as a video to backward-looking ČT and Nova programs, which still do not support Chromecast. Otherwise, I would have thrown away the computer a long time ago
Apple feels that Microsoft has taken a better path this time. Unfortunately, those videos sound like a cry in the dark for those who know.
I will answer the title. A computer is a thing that "gets things done" :-)
What is an operating system?
