Replacing replacement is just one of many use for tablets from Apple, Samsung, Dell and other top vendors. They have the required processing
power and a stunning screen, but as a serious work device, it's not
there yet. Currently laptops appear it's a better fit for more
casual laptop users.
But that does not rule out the possibility of bona fide laptops "replacement" in the years to come. When you're in the zone on a laptop, your arms barely move and your fingers fly across the keyboard and trackpad, executing familiar shortcuts and movements. On the iPad Pro, you're constantly pausing to reach up. It sounds minor, and maybe it will become second nature over time, but it's a distracting and unfortunate design. Developers love to make iOS and Android apps. Unfortunately, they're usually lightweight versions of popular professional software. Adobe has multiple Photoshop iOS apps. They're great for someone dabbling in photography, but they won't work for professional photographers. Same goes for other industries. Really great mobile versions are just not good enough to use full time for work. The latest versions of iOS and Android have made huge strides in productivity, and the iPad Pro has some multitasking options. If you want to run two apps side by side or watch a video while you work, then the iPad Pro is a good option . But for most, these features aren't enough to mimic the laptop experience.What does the future hold? Share your predictions with the Smartphone and Tablet Zone.
