The announcements today just make me hang my head in chagrin.  I love Apple products.  Both my wife and I only use Macbooks, we have multiple iPads, iPods, and a second generation Apple TV.<p>I look at this iPad Pro though and I see a totally useless device.  For a device at that size, weight, and cost you would be better served buying an Macbook Air.  If you want a tablet form factor then you would be better served buying a Surface, since at least it runs a real operating system designed for &quot;pro&quot; use not the closed eco system that is iOS.  I &quot;upgraded&quot; from an iPad to a iPad mini, because I didn&#x27;t want to carry around such a large device that is just a glorified eReader that I can waste time on with games.  Then I &quot;upgraded&quot; again to a Kindle Paperwhite since it&#x27;s lighter still, the battery lasts forever, I can read it in bright sunlight, and I don&#x27;t get distracted and waste my time on pointless things like Doodle Jump.  Everything else can run on my phone anyway which now comes in tablet sizes if that is what you want.<p>Then the Apple TV.  My current generation Apple TV is unplugged and gathering dust while I use the Smart TV, PS4, Xbox 360 (In that order) for my on demand streaming.  More and more Apple TV becomes unnecessary as what it does it build into televisions.  Why Apple didn&#x27;t put iTunes on Smart TVs, Roku, game systems, etc... so I could rent&#x2F;purchase my videos there is beyond me; but now I (along with many others) have moved on to competitors.  Almost forgot to mention; this thing doesn&#x27;t even support UHD?<p>Tim Cook needs a wake up call.
