New iPad Pros come with M1 chipset, 5G and Thunderbolt, the 12.9" model has mini-LED display

20 April 2021
The M1 chip is much faster and you can configure your tablet with up to 16 GB of RAM and 2 TB storage.

[deleted post]While that's certainly true, I still prefer a display that is twice as bright and also have almost no risk of pixel wear-out/burn in even after 4-5 years of extensive usage.

    Anonymous, 21 Apr 2021Is there any good reason that it doesn't run macOS?MacOS apps have poor multitouch support. Well, it's not really a good excuse given how you can use iPad as a secondary display for Mac and use Apple pencil on it (And apparently the experience is actually really good).

        P.S. I'm not the person who was claiming it had 388 nits of max brightness, by the way. And 484 nits in auto max brightness settings isn't very impressive considering this iPad will probably reach at least 900 nits under the same testing conditions in MANUAL max brightness.

          Nick Tegrataker, 21 Apr 2021484 nits at max auto brightness.. oof.We measured a very good (for an OLED) 388 nits of max brightness in our tests. The Tab S7+ has a max auto mode on top of this, which allows it to boost its brightness up to 484 nits. The screen is plenty bright no matter what, so you will have no issues even in the brightest of days.

At the current stage emulation layer only works on 32-bit x86 apps, and there are still very little developers who actually make ARM64 versions of Windows apps.

                                    There are 16 cores, 32 cores etc on desktop now available for cheap.
                                    And those cores can actually run applications that utilize them since they are paired with Windows. Mac is simply behind Windows in terms of apps and services support
