The performance difference is almost shocking to be honest. The iPad Pro can really be a productivity machine (especially with the Smart Keyboard) if they have the apps you need (which is likely for general stuff).
So, I've wondered how the MacBook would be performance-wise. Is it as fast as the iPad Pro when pushing desktop apps or do I need to step up to the MacBook Pro Retina?
Hmm, sounds great! Yeah, iOS devices rocking 1gb pail in comparison these days. I'm really interested in the iPad pro... but I feel it's for the reasons that may wear off . Not sure.
Mate, the new MacBook runs a beaut! Honestly, forget the pen and paper specs - people are too hung up on which numbers and higher than others. The 12 inch MacBook is my favourite device has ever made!
That being said, what are you intentions for it? I personally haven't tried anything 'too' demanding. But running 7 safari tabs, iTunes, slack, Twitter, email, iMessage, YouTube/twitch and Pages all simultaneously and I never experienced any for of slow down/lag.
are just wizards at managing their OS.
