iPad Pro Might Replace The MacBook Air

When Apple announced the new MacBook Pro with Retina Display this October, they nearly cannibalized the sales of the MacBook Air. Previously you had to shell out $1500 for a rMBP, but this year Apple slashed the price of the base model to just $1300, which is only $200 more than a base 13-inch MacBook Air. Previously we heard a rumour about an iPad Pro, which is a large screen tablet that Apple was reported to release next year. According to this latest rumour, this upcoming iPad Pro may replace the 11-inch MacBook Air.

The expected screen size of the iPad Pro is somewhere between 11 and 13-inch. As a comparison the current iPad Air comes with a 9.7-inch display. That’s a substantial increase in size for the iPad Pro. And considering that a base level iPad Air retails for $500, we have to wonder what a much larger, much more powerful iPad Pro will cost. It may well reach the $999 price tag of an 11-inch MacBook Air, or even surpass it depending on storage.

While an iPad and a MacBook are two entirely different products, the report claims that the 11-inch laptop may get the axe. We’re still a year away from an iPad event and all we can do is speculate at this point. But what is becoming more and more certain is that a bigger iPad Pro is definitely coming. Whether it is to replace something in Apple’s lineup or not remains to be seen.
