Apple's 'lappable' iPad Pro concept is far from laughable

iPad "Pro" is a joke device for serious work due to lack of local file system access, iPads will remain in the consumer toy category (for me) until user ability to browse local file system, organize data stored there becomes viable (I know people who are patient enough to jump through hoops to save ipad docs in iCloud, dropbox, google drive etc. but its less hassle for them as their work flow is all based around cloud storage & they are signed up to lots of cloudy providers ).

Friends who use iPad pros do say good things about the dictation capability (though mainly of use in a quite room on your own obviously no use in busy spaces) - letting them dispense with keyboard when writing stuff up in hotel room & just do odd corrections via on screen keyboard.

BTW, the (ludicrously expensive) pencil might have helped the authors issues with accurate text highlighting for easier edits.
