About the new iPad Pro:

Wow! I know this has been rumored for a while, but I'm still a little surprised there's a market for this. The difference between this and the Surface is that the latter is running a full desktop OS. Is this another sign that Apple would like to drop OSX altogether?

I spend too much time in airports. I see an awful lot of people using iPads with aftermarket Bluetooth keyboards of various sorts. These are entirely capable for a large variety of tasks, and now Microsoft is shipping a decked out version of Office specifically for this platform, which really does cover most users' needs.

Does this speak toward the death of the general-purpose laptop? Hell if I know, but it's certainly suggestive.
