The Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro will be available for purchase in May for $299 (US) for the 11-inch iPad Pro and $349 (US) for the 12.9-inch iPad Pro Wow. This must be one hell of a keyboard..
A keyboard, a trackpad, and a display stand. These are not three different devices!
I still feel like my own iPad usage is mostly locked by a weak software ecosystem, and while the hardware is impressive, it still seems like complete overkill for the current ecosystem.
I want to use it more, but the software for things I would have expected on the iPad, like 3D design, music production, etc, are often limited, either by software or connectivity issues.
I've gotten more use out of my Linux notebook running a Windows VM. Which surprised me.
I just get the feeling that the only people really making serious money on iPad apps are games, which are probably just ports of phone apps.

Apple's marketing on the new iPad pros is that they can replace your computer. I bought the most recent iPad Pro model and I can say that unless the only thing you do on your computer is browse the internet (without downloading anything) you're going to have a bad time. Here are some things that don't work: * A full-featured file browser. The files app is sort of workable now, but the experience is really bad and cer…
What most people use a computer for these days are not what we use a computer for. Most people probably require little except a phone for most computing needs. * Getting a convenient dock and better physical keyboard. * Surfing on an iPad is probably a lot better and fast experience than a similarly priced computer. * A lot of dedicated apps for most tasks people need. (Youtube, Spotify, Netflix, etc) * People use em…
That's why I'm posting this on HN and not Facebook or something.
Everything you mention could be done on a smartphone - no need for this allegedly "computer replacing" iPad.
The people at my company who use Excel absolutely could not do what they do on an iPad.

What does Apple have against the Escape key? That's a deal-breaker right there.
