I am a lawyer, my boss uses an ipad pro heavily for work. It's unfortunate that laptops end up being so complicated in comparison for this audience. It's also very reliable, cost effective, and easy to provision. It is however very well suited to some of these roles. I make no claims that this is sufficient for sales directors or scientific staff. A limited experience somewhat helps just reply or move on. Email is critical, but as a sales director, that's not where you want your reps spending time. They present products to customers (eDetailing), have some basic data entry (CRM), might browse a range of reporting, and do some email. The use cases of the sales reps are very well catered for on iPad and reps make up a lot of the user population.

Similarly, they have folks in scientific roles that push all software to the limits with a few people supporting them. They have a ton of sales reps and relatively few people in tech roles supporting them. A crippled mobile version that permit read access is good for an awful lot of people. Instead of picking up where you left off, you just pick up and go.

In this model, the iPad Pro can become a Teams or Slack device, for instance, while other work stays on Mac, so you just wander off to a meeting with your collaboration tools intact. The new keyboard/cursor sharing while each device runs its own apps, with copy paste and drag drop between them is even cooler. Two screens are better than one, and two that go with you are amazing. Could even be argued the Office / Teams ecosystem is superior.īonus: Letting employees have TWO screens (MacBook + iPad) also gives them two retina class monitors, portable, fantastic for hoteling or remote work or work from home. If they just use it, they generally find out it's fine. Employees will ask for their old thing back if it changes their workflow, period. Then the support costs basically go to zero, which matters a good deal at scale. After a month or two, white collars who are not devs generally have switched to carrying the iPads, not laptops. I've found that after initial objections, folks tend to agree. I've also been CTO at mega bank and hedge funds where we've rolled these out along side laptops. I don't travel with the MacBook any more, as I can do anything from the iPad. I also have iPad Pro with magic keyboard and touch pad. On the contrary, I have owned MacBook Pros from the first to the last 17", then again every model since the 16".
