iPad Pro vs Mac book for College?

Hey all,.

I'm at College right now working on a degree in biomedical physics and planning to go to medical school in the next two years.  I need a new computer, I can record lectures, take notes and write papers and do the graphics.  I'm looking to either a 13 "Mac book Pro with getting an iPad Pro with the pencil and keyboard or the retina.  Really, I'm leaning toward the iPad Pro but I'm not sure if could or can do all the stuff that can make the Mac book.  Any advice would be great; like, what are the limits or the other, which can do it book Mac ipad can't and vice versa?

Since the iPad Pro is a Tablet and not a real computer, like the MacBook Pro is, he will not be able to do all the things that the MacBook Pro can do.

The largest decline in the iPad Pro is that it turns the mobile firmware, iOS, while in the other the MBP runs OS X, which is a variant of Unix.

An another short coming of the iPad Pro with iOS, it is that it doesn't have a file system. On the contrary, the data is stored as part of the application. This a more limited measure implementation then file system used by the MBP and HFS +.

The number of accessories that can be attached to an iPad Pro are much more limited then what can be fixed on the MBP.

  • Mac Book Pro and HDMI

    A bit of clarification, please:

    I'm going to buy a Mac Book Pro or Mac Book Air. The Pro has an HDMI port, right. Can I connect to my TV HDMI port with a cable as I do with my PC. I realize that Air needs an adapter to a certain type of do it, right, but which?

    Just a little confused here.  Thank you! B.

    Yes, the HDMI cable can connect the MBP to your TV for use as a monitor provided your TV takes over that. The MBA in need: output audio and video HDMI using third-party Mini DisplayPort to HDMI (sold separately) on the Apple Store locally or online adapter: Moshi Adapter Mini DisplayPort to HDMI (4 K).

    iPad Pro. The keyboard can be used remotely (not physically attached) or you can use a standard apple wireless keyboard

    I assume that you mean the keyboard built into the 'smart cover' - it must be in contact with the iPad.

    A wireless keyboard Apple has been reported as working with an iPad Pro. Plug Apple for the new State of "magic keyboard" that it requires a Mac with os x 10.11 or later - he does not mention the iPads. Third-party Bluetooth keyboard should work.

  • iPad pro 9.7 inches

    Can someone give me the dimensions of the cover silicone for iPad pro 9.7 inches; for example, how to bulk it adds to the iPad? Seems silly, I know.  just trying to determine if my pro will still be compatible with a keyboard that I have if I use this cover.

    I can't give you the dimensions, but I noticed that it feels like substantial coverage, and my guess would be probably 1/16 + inch; I looked when I took my iPad Pro. Usually cases are quite comfortable - I expect not to be able to put a keyboard top case. I buy a keyboard case and will take off the lid I bought (not Apple) when I want to get somewhere with the keyboard.

  • Not all pictures sync on my new iPad Pro. Nothing before 2012.

    My new iPad Pro to my iMac for the first time that not all photos on Photo syncing synchronize. It seems that the older photos that do not come across.

    Hey Carolinehastilow,

    I see that you are having some problems with the timing of the photo and would like some suggestions of troubleshooting for this issue. The first thing that comes to mind would be to try to reset your photo sync from iTunes by following the steps in this article:

    Turn off sync iTunes

    If you want more pictures synced to your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, turn off sync in iTunes and they will be removed from your device. You can disable synchronization for some of your photo albums or all of them at once.

    Stop synchronization of all photos

    1. Open iTunes on your computer and connect your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch.
    2. Click the device icon in iTunes.
    3. Click on the Photos.
    4. Uncheck 'Synchronize Photos' and then click 'remove all '.
    5. Click on apply.

    Learn how remove photos and videos synced from iTunes when you can not access the originals.

    About Microsoft Office, it is not included in Apple products. See "Built-in Apps" section of the following link for the applications that are included: http://www.apple.com/ipad-pro/specs/

    Microsoft Office applications on iPhones and iPads other than the iPad Pro are available from Microsoft via the Apple App store for free. But in the case of the iPad Pro, Microsoft requires a subscription Office 365 to create or edit documents (i.e., you can only read documents without the subscription if you use a Pro). See the quote below from https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/microsoft-word/id586447913?mt=8

    Word documents read on iPad Pro for free. To create and edit documents, you need an eligible Office 365 subscription. Try it free for 30 days.

  • New on the square IPad Pro has battery problems

    Just bought new IPad Pro WIFI 32 concerts for a huge slice of $800. Beyond being overall less seduced, the battery life is shockingly low. At the end of 20 minutes on a full charge and a minimum use, the battery fell to 60%. Sometimes, it will not load to 100% even after being connected to a catch of the day to the next. Apple will not replace it. Someone has a similar problem? THX!

    Try a hard reset of your iPad Pro by pressing the sleep/wake and Home buttons simultaneously until your iPad Pro goes to the dark and restarts with the Apple logo, then release the buttons.

  • Original photos on my iPad pro

    My original photos are on my iPad Pro. Whenever it syncs with iCloud it replaces pictures I deleted on my Mac (El Cap) and other iOS devices.  I don't want the originals on my iPad.   I have hard to recognize anything apparently on the iPad. When I select remove them, I get a message that pictures will be deleted on all devices.  Does include the cloud of pictures?  Does include my Mac?  Tell me what to do please?

    Patti

    If you use iCloud photo library on your iPad Pro, your Mac and other iOS devices, the original copy of your photos is in iCloud, and devices are just the caching of copies of it (either in original resolution or optimized). By its design, addition or removal of a photo using one of your devices adds to or removes icloud then adds or removes the other devices. This is normal. Did you see it or not?

  • Synchronization of the books/pdf for iPad Pro

    It is a recurring problem. The last time I have synced with my iTunes iPad put 2200 files on my iPad.  Today I plug the iPad on my Mac Pro and I see 1742 books. If I sync it would remove about 500 files from my iPad instead of put on the 20 that I added to iBooks.  I submitted comments on iTunes that I have submitted comments on iBooks and got no help at all. Short while puffing and reload all files (which I now did four times in the past eight months!)  does anyone have any suggestions? Or am I the only person in the world to have this problem?

    There must be some .plist iBooks and iTunes use to communicate... can someone tell me what it is? I'm really leaning towards iTunes being the culprit since he got squirrels still after the most recent iTunes updated for iOS10.

    I refuse to use iBooks in the iCloud, because then you have to manually d/l all the books on the iOS device and as many books... Well, it's just not. I tried and it was horrible. Had to rebuild the whole iBooks library and I don't do that again.

    Hey ottaviob,

    If I understand correctly, you want to transfer contacts and other things to your new Mac.
    I recommend you to read this article; It has advice to transfer your contacts, music, photos, documents and more on your Android device. Once the content is on the Mac later at some point if you wish, this article is also not to transfer this content in an iOS device too.

    On a Mac, install Android File Transfer, open it,
