Hello, what do you think of the new iPAD PRO compared with our Note PRO?

Pro: may be faster graphics and higher resolutions
Con: can't use it as a cell phone, no usb, lower battery capacity?

Don't know how the GUI compared. Can the new iOS do things that we could do with the S-Pen?

Slightly higher on some things, resolution, size, slightly lower weight. NEGLIGIBLE. But no sd card slot and extra 100 for the pressure Sensitive pen. More expensive than note pro but has a 128gb option for $1049
Biggest setback, its the IOS bird cage.
I am not crazy abput apple. And they are playing catch up. I have had my pro 12.2 for a year and a half. Back when it was panned as "too big" and "too heavy" now here we are, and suddenly because apple farted, its the cats meow.
if you have the note prp 12.2 i thinkits great.Migrated nearly 95% of my workflow to it. Except leagcy programs. Even have msdos emulation. And soon, there will be vines.

If it were running Mac OS, I would buy it. One problem with replacing my Note PRO with the iPAD PRO is that I will need to carry an extra item (phone). I have been using the Note PRO as a phone for a year already.

Your iPad Pro "pro" is ultimately the biggest problem I have with my Note Pro, it's not going to make it to 6.0. Any Samsung owner who's had other tabs knows you rarely see anything more than a single update.

I'm not sure why one would want OSX on a tablet, it inherently isn't optimized for touchscreen use like a mobile OS like iOS or Android are. Newer versions of windows try to do it but end up having to have applets to bridge the gap since in the end your run of the mill windows applications aren't touch optimized either. Sure you can tap away at menus and toolbars but the scaling of such things isn't always ideal.

I like OSX but mainly for its simplicity and my ability to move around using keyboard commands and gestures (I never use the dock or mission control, only Alfred and keyboard shortcuts).
