The network is still arguing about whether the iPad Pro with iOS 11 can replace the laptop. Outline journalist Joshua Topolski believes that the new Apple tablet is inferior to portable computers in almost all.

"A couple of tweets about the new iPad and iOS 11. He loses the laptop in almost every aspect, if it's not about drawing. If you believe that he can replace you laptop - you are mistaken. Imagine a computer, but everything works worse than you expect. This is the new iPad.
