If you had to get either a MacBook Pro
If you had to get either a MacBook Pro or iPad Pro, it`s not even close... GET THE MACBOOK PRO.

If you had to get either of those you should go for MacBook Air now ;) for 900$ and maybe in the future MacBook Pro

At my place MacBook aur m1 is more expensive than iPad pro 11 with cover and pencil, Plus my usage is entertainment and content watching, I disagree. Ps: I`ve used both for a short period of time only.

It`s MacOS vs iOS. If you need a terminal or write code, there`s only 1 choice. I have the latest MBP and the latest iPad 12.9 side by side daily because I make iPad apps. I never used an tablet often before but now I enjoy the iPad more with the Magic Keyboard.

Until the iPad Pros get either macOS or Pro Apps this will opinion will sadly stay. The Hardware on the 12.9" M1 Pro is outstanding especially with the miniLED display but it`s ruined by the lacking features of iPadOS. I hope they bring out Pro Apps to the iPad Pro soon-ish

I have both. I use them for different tasks. I also use them for the same tasks.

And you had to tweet this? Isnt this very obvious, Sherlock?

I wish they just added touch to the Mac.

Those device categories are totally different. Who gets one for other?

For my use case, the iPad Pro fits the bill. I use it to complete web-based surveys for projects, as well as required photos. It has served me well. Nah son. iPad Pro for sure. Theres nothing that it generally cant do. Plus the obvious, mini LED, 120HZ, Face ID, Cellular connectivity, quality front facing cam, pen support, touch input, etc. And miss me with the ports, oh well buy a dongle. iPads superior really.

Unless you also use it for media consumption. I downloaded movies into my MBP to take on the airplane. No audio sharing and no full screen support. I missed the iPad Pro

I doubted this two years ago. Eventually, I went with the iPad Pro 12.9 2018. While I still love my iPad for taking notes and office 365 keeps improving on the iPads, I cant deny that sometimes working only on a iPad has it disadvantages , if I were to choose now : M1 MPP

The whole YouTube effect of praising the iPad Pro is unreal Ofc, Ill get the Mac - its a desktop macOS experience, the iPad is still the bigger iOS device for me

Why do i even get this kind of post on twitter? Just get whatever it is that you want and need

Not if youre an artist like me. The Apple Pencil isnt easy to use on a MacBook Pro. Of course, and not the Air products unlike someone

THe only thing the iPad really has going for it is the touchscreen and cameras lol

NOOOO . I just bought the 12.9 M1 iPad Pro today.

I think people try too hard with the whole "hey look, my iPad lets me do 70% of what I do on my laptop" thing... Why not do 100%? It`s not like a MacBook isn`t portable enough

The more important question is base model macbook air vs base model ipad pro!!

I love my iPad Pro! My MacBook Pro is running a dual boot of Mac OS and windows

Unless youve completely switched your workflow to iPad Pro and will never go back because you love it so much. iPad will always be better in my book.

Correct, basically the iPad Pro is a smaller foot print for when its not smart to take your laptop, but as of now not anywhere close to the MacBook IMO.

As much as the tech community is freaking out on this, those who need a full scale laptop experience are going to get a Macbook. Those who has specific needs like sketching, streaming content etc who already have a laptop are going to get iPad. People are not so stupid!

do you believe that i use an ipad pro for work and i`m a data analyst? got no problem with that.

*unless your an artist/drawer

This is something people debate about? Huh.

Mac Book Pro and iPad pro are not comparable...you can compare iPad pro with MacBook Air...

Apple is overpriced garbage.

Or Just get both like I did. Lol

Nah. Ive beeb an Apple fan for decades and fit the first time I dont want a MBP. The iPad Pro with touchscreen is much more useful. MBP has the a similar external / functional design since 2006. Sadly Apple is falling behind. Jobs innovation? I might never get a laptop again.

I love the new iPad Pro Sammy. Why u doing this to me ?

Forget about apple, just get window 11

Ive got a MacBook Pro & an IMac. & have been in a quandary about which 2 replace w/a new model 1st. Am leaning 2ward the MacBook Pro since I take it on the road

does the 2015 ipad pro and macbook pro count As a teacher, I strongly disagree

Unless you`re an artist!

Or just buy whichever you feel is useful for your needs

I bought the new iMac and iPad Pro for myself, and work are going to get me the new 16 when it eventually shows up. I need all bases covered.

Or you could do one better and get a Windows 2 in 1 and not waste crazy amounts of money on 2 overpriced Apple products.

If you need pro apps and need it for work reasons but if you use it for web browsing, media you might be better off with the iPad due to its superior screen, 120hz and better design

I need a MacBook Pro for work. But I also want an iPad Pro. I only need it for simple stuff, like drawing and gaming, so I dont think Ill dislike it, despite the reviews. My current iPad tends to heat up while gaming, so Id like to try the M1 for the cooling etc.

I will go for M1 iPad Pro because I need more power for my laptop

Isnt that subjective though? It all depends on what youre going to do with it.

and then the iPad Pro.

wtf it depends 100% on your needs. There isnt one answer for everyone. MacBook Air > MacBook Pro is all I have to add. $1000 and 0 issues with 6k footage ... insane.

I waiting for the new MacBook either the air (if the color options come out) or the pro with M1X, I need a new Mac quick all my macs wont support macOS Monterey

Will there ever be a case where a tablet (regardless of its power) is a better option than a laptop?

Not everyone is a content creator. My 2018 iPad Pro with a Logitech keyboard case works perfectly for my needs both at home and at work.

Totally depends upon what kind of a device you need. I do not need anything what an iPad cant do. So, why should I get a MacBook instead ? Also, I love playing all the App Store games. I can not do that on the MacBook can I?

Thank you. Ive been considering both this clears it up.

Or be like me and cave to both no matter how upset your bank account gets

You`re right. It`s not even close. Get anything BUT an Apple product. Cheaper, ore reliable, more easily configured the way you want it, less prone to spying on you.

Macbook Air M1 is far better than iPad pro, and what many wishwd the ipad pro to be, ligt, powergul and fanless! Unless you need the pencil for anything specific like sketching (which is the killer feature for ipads)

But wait for the redesign in October.

Surely its down to case use??

It depends on who you are and what your needs are. On the whole Id highly disagree with that.

I`ll get the Air only because it`s gold and no touch thingy

iPad Pro 12.9 2021 and the Mac Mini 2020 for me

Depends on what you need though but yeah In general get the real computer

Dont tell me what to do.

Replaced my MacBook Air with an iPad Pro and MK. Im glad I switched. So versatile.

An iPad Air + a Macbook Pro is the best combination for most people

Ill get the iPad Pro as I want a tablet that preforms as a computer with a desktop like software in basic features and a tablets UI

It depends on what you are going to use it for ,

I dont need a keyboard hanging off my screen

Not if you`re in the need of a tablet

Im getting an iMac scheduled for delivery next month. Does that count?

Really, because the MacBook Pro cannot do the things I need for my job. If I listened to you Id be in some serious trouble at work as my ability to do my job would seriously fall behind. Maybe you need to realize that the iPad has professional apps. LumaFusion is one example.

Saved myself $700 and havent had a single honey nut regretio Nah. iPad is still better.

Damn it I already got my iPad today

I cant draw on the screen of a MacBook Pro. But yea good luck getting anything from stores in person. Out of stock almost everywhere.

So, what youre saying is.if I am lucky enough, to have had to wait hella, for my back ordered iPad Pro cellular 12.9n 1tb, and as such I just got it, meaning Im still in my return window, through Sprint, 14 days I think, to go ahead and return this B?

Traded in my i7 MacBook Pro 2019 for the base MacBook Air M1. That depends on your use case
