MacBook or iPad Pro?

Hi guys,.

I think (unfortunately) replace my beloved MacBook White because it became too slow and I think what would be the best option... What do you think? should I go for the MacBook or iPad Pro?

I use it mainly for Garage Band, iPhotos, iTunes, Safari (Wordpress and other general things), etc.

Thank you very much!

Gaby

You can buy a MacBook Pro as it runs OS X that require your applications.

An iPad running iOS that doesn't allow these applications to run.

  • I could use advice > iPad Pro or MacBook... recently sold my iMac 2008

    After moving into a small house and my computer needs to be changed (is no longer need to use Parallels on my computer), I recently sold my iMac 24 "(early 2008) 3.06 GHZ Intel Core 2 Duo with 1 disk hard solid state of TD and 6 GB of memory."  The computer has served me extremely well but was getting older and we really need the space in the second room that leads to my dilemma.

    Before making a purchase, I am trying to decide if I can use an iPad Pro as my computer at home or if I have to buy a computer laptop (MacBook, MackBookAir, or MacBook Pro).

    The computer would almost exclusively home for boating web, e-mail and download family photos.  I do not edit the video, video game, or use spreadsheets at home.

    I thought about trying to use an iPad Pro but getting the opinions of people in the Apple Store as said couldn't you sync/backup for iCloud via an iPad, an iPhone but I could not just of backup to the phone with the application on the phone?

    Also with photos on the iPhone or a Canon camera, could I directly download them on the iPad?

    I apologize for my lack of knowledge, but I was too comfortable on the iMac for the past 8 years.

    Thanks a lot for any advice.

    It is strictly a personal choice

    If that's all you do on your computer

    t exclusively at home for web browsing, e-mail and download family photos.  I do not edit the video, video game, or use spreadsheets at home.

    then a Tablet is fine (but this is not a computer and cannot do many things a computer can do)

    You can save any IOS device with iCloud backup

  • Update of the MacBook Pro for iPad Pro?

    I'm looking to replace my MacBook Pro (MBP) for a new iPad Pro. Apart from the obvious differences that exist between operating systems, i.e. OSX El Capitan vs iOS (9)

    Are there specific functions or tasks that cannot be performed on an iPad Pro, which can be done on the MBP?

    When it comes to streaming music (Spotify) and video (Youtube, Netflix, Amazon, BBC iplayer etc), will all these without downloading additional software, Flash drives or iOS apps for the iPad?

    Any constructive comments will be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

    Most OS X applications with versions of iOS will have reduced functionality located in iOS (for example. (Pages, Numbers, MS Office applications).  iOS is now supported split screen for some applications (not all), but it offers no true multitasking. iOS supports NO FLASH - never has and probably never will be.  Some 3rd party browsers or proxy subscription services offer alternatives to that, but it's not exactly a replacement for FLASH native.  It's the same for Java applications.

    iOS is not addressable accessible file system or cross-app of the user, as OS X.  iOS apps are sandboxed to sand and largely unable to interact with eachother or every-other data.

    Honestly, even though I love my iPad Pro and use every day for staff and job tasks, it is NOT a true replacement for a desktop computer / laptop.  If your use is very specifically limited to certain iOS apps or certain types of applications that are very conducive to a tablet OS, you should be fine with just an iPad, but if not, you will find you want always a laptop or desktop computer, at least for certain tasks or the types of applications.

    Please also note, that iOS devices, like any electronic mass storage, must be saved if you care about your data at all.  Without a computer, your only backup option is to iCloud online backups.  Solutions available iCloud for photography, however, NO do not replace true or complete for archiving your photos elsewhere for guard - should photo be archived elsewhere (computer, another Cloud Computing service) regardless of your choice of iCloud photo service (s).  A computer is a perfect solution for a backup of redundant iOS device using iTunes and iCloud for backups.  A computer is also required to restore an iOS device in the case of a corrupt system, update, install or some other potential recoverable occsionally disaster.

  • Can I transfer data between a new MacBook (USB - C) to my iPad Pro?

    I have an iPad Pro.  I also have a new MacBook on command.  The new MacBook uses USB - C to 'universal' and data transfer.  Can I transfer data to/from my iPad Pro with a lightning bolt - cable USB - C?

    Thank you

    What kind of data you want to transfer?

    Files you can transfer with iCloud, Dropbox, box or Google Drive.

    You can transfer from your iPad to MacBook Pro by plugging the photos. They can be imported to the Photos for Mac.

  • Use the iPad pro as a second screen on a Macbook Pro 2009 with OSX running on it.

    Hello
    I am to buy an iPad Pro and I would like to know if there is a chance that it might be connected as a second monitor on a Macbook Pro 2009 running Mac OS x Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Hello

    You cannot connect them with wires. You can, however, all these 2 combinations of applications, use using your wifi home network:

    http://Lifehacker.com/the-best-second-screen-app-for-iPad-1706351639

    http://getidisplay.com/

    However, they all need two OS 10.9 (Mavericks) or later, which means that the configuration is not possible under Snow leopard.

    Your Macbook Pro supports the latest OS X (El capitan), you can update, although it will significantly slow down your computer as well unless you add an SSD.

    See you soon,.

  • Why is it slower than iPad Pro of Macbook Pro?

    https://youtu.be/sO3vuz1dDRg

    Here is the video in question.  It was made in iMovie and transferred through the upload of desktop browser to the Youtube that can enter directly from the finder.  The video lasts 200 MB and 02:04 minutes.  Not particularly big.  Seen on my iPad Pro, which has the same size, basically like my MacBook Pro screen, it starts with playing 1080 p right away.  My MacBook Pro, connected to the same wifi router, then try it.  He can barely load and play the video to the P. 480 it also works very well with my iPhone 6plus and great works even streaming 1080 p when I connect the iPhone via a HTMI cable to my TV.

    Latest iOS and OS.

    Ookla faster results while wifi.

    MacBook Pro: 43 downwards, to 79.

    iPad Pro: down, up to 89 39

    iPhone: 30 down, up to 54.

    This is a question for Apple or Youtube?

    I solved the problem myself.  I also deleted the video, sorry.  I decided to take an iMovie saved like a k 4 file in Quicktime and export it to 1080 p for iPad devices.  This has created an incredibly smooth and clear mp4 video without distortion due to compression.  In addition, the over 50 MB more file smaller than 180 file 200 MB created by iMovie.  When I downloaded this movie on Youtube, it took less time for the 1080 p option appears, and of course, it is clear.  More important still, it loads now well on my MacBook Pro of retina now, like the iPad Pro.  Lesson learned.  Save big by iMove, export to QuickTime.

  • MacBook Pro will not load iPad Pro

    I have a new iPad Pro.  It seems that my MacBook Pro (retina, mid-2012) is unable to load the iPad Pro.  I see in the iPad Pro (lightning) loading symbol indicating that he is in charge, but the percentage of the battery declines nonetheless.  If I plug the iPad Pro into the power adapter provided with it (or even in a power supply iPad 1) then it costs.

    My MacBook Pro is able to charge iPad Pro?

    Thank you!

    Correct, and it has been so for all iPads.  The output power of the USB port on the computer is not enough to fuel the iPad in use and load it.  Apple has always recommended using the power that comes with the iPad to recharge it as it's output is higher than a standard edge computer USB port

    The smaller models of iPad (and maybe even the Pro, I have not tried) fresh peut leave a port of the computer if left in mode 'sleep' all connected, but even in this case, the charge rate will be much slower than if using the iPad Pro 12W power supply.

  • I bought 3 movies from itunes, to download on my ipad pro. Can I see them on my iphone or macbook?

    I bought 3 movies from itunes, to download on my ipad pro. Can I see them on my iphone or macbook?

    You should be able to. Depending on your country and if the films are still in the store, you can re-download them directly on the iPhone via the tab bought in its app Store in iTunes and on your Mac via the purchased item (click on your name / icon to the top right of iTunes then click purchased on the popup); or connect the iPad to your Mac iTunes and file > devices > transfer purchases to copy their course and you can synchronize then on the phone (assuming that it is the computer on which the phone is synchronized to)

  • What size iPad Pro?

  • MacAir vs iPad Pro

    I travel a lot and will not always be a wifi access. Thinking about buying an iPad Pro but I'll be able to store documents and view videos (home-made) from an external hard drive that I do now with a Macbook Air? I think I thought I understand there is no USB port on the iPad Pro, so I wouldn't be able to watch my videos? Is this correct? Looks like I'd end up needing both. Thank you very much

    There are active WiFi external hard drives that you can use with iOS devices. They generate their own ad-hoc WiFi network, you do not need access to an external. You can, of a large number of them, spread your non-copie protected videos, as well as store other data.

    Some cloud computing services will also allow you to broadcast videos of them (or download it to your phone).

    Of course, if you buy the largest capacity iPad Pro and are wise everything you put on (do you really need to take it all?) you don't even have an additional disc.

    Certainly consider a keyboard, either Apple, or possibly combos beautiful case/keyboard of Zagg.

  • iPad Pro battery dead/emptied?

    My iPad Pro remained unused during the month or two.

    Now it does not turn on or charge it from any outlet.

    I tried with:

    -original charger and cable

    -cable charger and original spare parts

    -original charger and shorter cable for iPhone

    cable charger and spare parts - iPhones

    -The MacBook Air and the original cable

    He won't answer for sleep/wake button or sleep/wake + home when 10 seconds or more.

    One thing I noticed, is that the Chargers or the iPad Pro generates no heat when connected.

    I left that it plugged in all night with original charger and still no luck.

    Second thing, it is that I can not confirm if Apple pencil died too, because I'm not Bluetooth on other devices.

    version of the iOS is 9.3.2

    It of a trip to repairs or is there something I missed?

  • iPad Pro not really Pro without a keyboard, trackpad

    I want to know if other users Apple faithful feel the same way I do.

    I think that Apple should develop a trackpad for iPad Pro keyboard.

    I can see how this would potentially cannibalize macbook sales, but the reality is that, when the dust settles only hybrid tablet/pc as survive on the surface. Why oppose loyal apple users and make us wait potentially years for what is inevitable anyway?

    Just like the excessive waiting for an iphone of 5.5 inches (2 years later, IMHO). Apple, it will be the GRAND SUCCESS of the YEAR (regardless of the year you decide eventually to get there), please don't let the size that you pushed to drag you into a State of paralysis. Show you the apple fans you can still deliver "What WE WANT".

    Polls are not allowed here. And Apple is not read here for suggestions. If you have any comments, you want Apple here, use the comments link:

    You should also keep in mind that everything simply because you have an opinion, does not mean that the rest of the world (or even a significant part of it) will be right with you.

    If major were the most important thing in an iPhone, why small sizes better sell? Why is the demand of the SE much stronger than expected (hint: it's all those people who have not upgraded to the 6 or 6 s because it was too big)?
