On raw performance might, the M4 really does live up to Apple’s promises, should deliver. Single core is up about 20% compared to all M3 chips and more than 40% compared to M2. The generational computational leap from the previous M2 iPad Pro is at least a 42% jump on single-core and multi-core.

Curious who uses this for pro means. With FCP, Logic, Resolve on there now, who would choose an iPad for these?

Great way for a kid to start learning them, I imagine, but I would wager a guess that most pro peeps are using it for illustration and art.

Whoever can afford this can already afford the laptop alternatives. My guess is that this will be a convenient "nice to have" item whenever bringing along a tablet over a laptop feels like less of a hassle.

Accidentally replied in the wrong spot.

I posted more because I’m happy about the chip performance gains. That it’s in an iPad is interesting, but I’m excited for the Mac.
