To me, the 150$ is well worth the 120hz display, extra battery life, and active cooling fans (if you push it hard enough to activate them). Also, the option for dual monitors is cool, and you have an hdmi port on the Pro. They also have better resale value (at least here in Canada).

Edit*: you also have more GPU cores, which is nice for any video editing, modelling or gaming, if you plan on dabbling there at all.

wait for 10.3 beta 3

fucking. this.

Students would like to have a word…

I can tell you from personal experience that you’re blatantly wrong. They are found in droves on college and university campuses as they are super versatile. From writing to storing every textbook you’d need all in one slab of metal and glass.

I got my iPad Pro 1st year and haven’t looked back. 90% of textbooks I have needed I could get digital and writing on PDFs for lectures is essential for my learning.

Look, they may serve no use for you, but don’t parade yourself into thinking they must then serve no purpose.

And on the argument of “oh it’s just a big iPhone” is laughable these days.
