Apple recently unveiled new iPads, with the 2024 iPad Pro particularly standing out for its latest processor not found in Macs. So, M4 iPad Pro or MacBook? Here’s Apple’s executive response.
At the Let Loose event, Apple introduced the new iPad Pro and Air. The 2024 iPad lineup, especially the Pro model, is notable because it features the latest Apple M4 processor, which is not used in Apple’s computers. Despite the iPad Pro’s powerful performance with this chip, it’s not seen as a device that can replace the MacBook Pro due to iPadOS limitations. So, for those asking iPad Pro or MacBook, Apple’s executive has provided an explanation.
According to the Apple executive, while the new iPad Pro may outperform the MacBook Pro in some cases, it’s not a device that can serve as both a tablet and a computer for users. Tom Boger, Apple’s vice president of iPad and Mac product marketing, says they see iPad and MacBook as complementary devices, not competitors. He emphasizes that the iPad has always been a device prioritizing touch interaction.
In the end, the iPad Pro won’t easily replace the MacBook Pro. Apple insists that the two devices complement each other. In other words, according to Apple’s bright idea, you should buy both the iPad and the MacBook.
