Apple in March updated both the MacBook Air and the iPad Pro, and with the iPad Pro increasingly positioned as a computer replacement, we thought we’d compare both new machines to see how they measure up and which one might be a better buy depending on user needs.
We’re comparing the base model 12.9-inch iPad Pro and the base model 13-inch MacBook Air. The base 12.9-inch iPad Pro features an A12Z chip with an 8-core CPU and GPU, 6GB RAM, and 128GB storage space. It’s priced at $999, but there’s no keyboard included, and a keyboard is a definite requirement for using an iPad Pro in lieu of a traditional notebook computer.
