hey how's it going Dave TD here when Apple announced the iPad pro they made some pretty big claims they said was faster than like 92 percent of portable pcs had the power of an Xbox one s in this super thin package and I remember thinking there's no way right but we've seen the benchmarks it's legit the a 12 X processor in here is something special the multi-core performance on this thing is crazy like we've seen eight core CPUs in Apple products before but this is the first one that could run with all eight cores active at once but with this performance isn't just speed and all that stuff this is supposed to be Apple's vision of what the kind of future of computing will be like just the way that people should be using portable computers in the future and that vision has kind of two components software and hardware so we've talked about the software before it feels a little bit under baked and we're gonna get newer versions of software right we ran more versions of iOS 12 we're gonna get I was 13 14 the software is going to get better and we're gonna see more and more applications come on to this device so we're supposed to see full-blown Adobe Photoshop running on the iPad pro like not some iOS gimped version but full-blown full fat thick boy Adobe Photoshop running on an ARM processor which is crazy so the hard one here is an ARM processor this is a chip that's designed by Apple custom-designed in-house for this machine and it's made by TSMC but it's built specifically for the iPad pro the 8 12 X the chips in here the MacBook Pros are not custom chips these are made by Intel you can see these chips in other laptops out there but the reason why the iPad pro has such crazy performance is because Apple made this chip specifically for this device so it's just incredibly efficient now we know about the performance on this thing right it's very powerful but the performance has kind of always been there like if you look at the iPad pro from last year or the year before that and you run the apps that people are going bananas about right now like video editing stuff like the iPad pro has always been capable of pushing out really good performance on their devices it's nothing new but the form factor is not ideal it doesn't matter how you spin it most people would prefer using a regular fold open clamshell laptop instead of a tablet when it comes to doing work I mean if you're an illustrator using the pencil and you're using the like the drawing capability obviously this is great but for the majority of people clamshell laptop design wins over two and one fold open hybrid device design that's just the nature of the world because if it wasn't that case then everyone will be using tuned ones instead of laptops now for years there have been rumors of Apple design MacBook Pros with the ARM processors that are inside here which sounds really cool on paper but there's one really big issue professional applications are not compiled to run on ARM processors they run an x86 platform which is Intel so the MacBook Pros I think are gonna stay on Intel chips for quite a while it's just done about three users are installing Windows on these devices to remove x86 and Intel from these devices just doesn't make sense what does make sense is a new device the 12-inch MacBook looks ripe for a do-over I think they're gonna replace that with their new ARM based laptop it's a design that people are familiar with it's a form factor that people love it's gonna be a hit and here's the best part about it cost so when it comes to Intel's devices these are expensive chips like Intel charges a few hundred dollars for their cheapest and slowest macbook pro chip and for the core i9 is like five or six hundred bucks and the cost of those chips makes these MacBook Pros more expensive if you have ARM based laptops it's designed by Apple in-house it's built by TSM see these are gonna be a lot cheaper and this is gonna run to that realm where you can get a device like a 12 inch laptop that's seven maybe eight hundred bucks which would be amazing and you have such good integration with hardware and software you get really well built stuff that's just super efficient like look at the iPhone this is a device that has less RAM smaller batteries than a lot of Android flagships out there and yet it still has amazing performance and really good battery life this is what you get when you have really good hardware and software integration custom stuff the only do that I really see with this and you know this is gonna happen down the line but when this happens this is gonna be very difficult to get out of like all of the Apple ecosystem right now like if you get into a MacBook Pro you can leave right your paps are probably on Windows as well if you do this if Apple builds this and they have really good apps and they probably will once you get into this Apple ecosystem and it may be cheaper to get and then you gonna be very difficult to get it very difficult and well Apple is probably gonna love that okay hope you guys enjoyed this video thumbs we liked it subs if you loved it see you guys next time
