iPad Pro Vs MacBook Pro: Difference and Similarities in the Display
Even though both the displays have done a fair job, but iPad Pro has received more positive reviews than the MacBook pro. The reason being that iPad pro has a liquid retina display which produces 128.4 per cent of the sRGB spectrum with excellent colour accuracy of 0.29 and with utmost perfection. Ipad Pro also has a 2732 x 2048-pixel display.
On the other hand, the display of MacBook pro is only left with 119 per cent of the sRGB colour gamut and has a 2560 x 1600-pixel display. Therefore iPad Pro gets an upper hand in terms of display.
iPad Pro Vs MacBook Pro: The Design of Each
When it comes to design, Apple removed and even shortened some of the bezels on the keyboard of the iPad Pro that resulted in a more immersive view. Even the face ID is also replaced by a touch ID making it easier to unlock.
There has not been much change in the MacBook Pro design edition in this model and it has remained the same as it had been for years. The only added feature that can be seen in it is the introduction of Touch ID replaced by the face ID. Therefore, we have again seen our winner here.
iPad Pro Vs MacBook Pro: Ports
This is where iPad Pro loses to the MacBook Pro as iPad Pro only has one single USB C port that will connect to other devices. Also, there is no 3.5mm jack slot as seen in MacBook pro so cannot use wired earphones or use an adapter to use wired cans, whereas in MacBooks there are four Thunderbolt 3 connections.
iPad Pro Vs MacBook Pro: Performance
It has been seen that the iPad Pro is faster than the MacBook Pro as it has twice the graphics power as its previous model. MacBook pro takes a longer time in converting big files to the desired format than iPad pro. Therefore, iPad wins in performance too and turns out that it has better battery life than the MacBook pro.
Final Words
Seeing the above arguments in the iPad proves that iPad pro has gone through more changes and advancements than its counterpart. Now, it depends on you to decide what suits your work better.
