I didn't see anywhere in the article anything about processor speed, the # of cores in the processor (multi-tasking), the clock speed of RAM, nor the transfer rate to long-term storage. In other words I read a lot of sizzle and no substance.
I guess sizzle is all that's needed to sell Apple products.
If you prefer a desktop interface, the Surface Pro 6 is the better choice, and it also offers a better keyboard with touchpad and built-in kickstand. But if you can see yourself working within iOS, the iPad Pro should make quick work of whatever you need to do.
It's for watching those adorable videos on You Tube and surfing the web, not serious work. At least that's the way this non techie reads it.
There’s a version of Vusual Studio for Mac. Part of the Xamarin acquisition.
Benchmarks run the same tasks on all machines they benchmark. They don't run specific tasks but stress the processors and graphics capabilities to see what they are capable of doing. You don't test specific productivity apps, you run the standardized benchmark apps, which hit the hardware, to see how fast specific tasks can be accomplished by that hardware.
You guys understand Mac users like the Media understand Trump voters.
You suppose Mac users don't hate the high prices and the way they have been screwed over in the past? They buy Macs because they run mac OS same with iOS, there is absolutely no other reason to overpay for hardware.
We do get the bonus of using Macs for up to ten years before disposing of them.
