I do like the iPad Pro for work, but in certain relatively narrow ways.

I like handwriting, and that’s the main use I’ve made of my iPad Pro so far, along with the ability to proof-read and annotate previously written typescripts. I also like the iPad Pro’s relatively distraction-free interface. I like its relatively long battery life. And with future editions of iOS and future software developments, the computing power it contains may start to become important for me. I can foresee that more sophisticated applications on the tablet, perhaps like the Dossier prototype described in the article (something a little like the Mac application Curio, I think), may begin to be released.

But I also like quite a lot of screen space, even for writing, and even the 12.9inch iPad Pro doesn’t feed that need. Perhaps I’ll just have to wait for foldable screens before tablets fully satisfy my computing requirements!
