Recently, Apple announced the switch from Intel to its processors at WWDC. The piece of news was quite anticipated, but it made one of the most important upgrades for the Mac official.

There is a lot to be anticipating about these new Apple Silicon Macs, such as more efficiency, snappy performances, and possibly more performance in a smaller format than ever before. Think of how the 2018 iPad Pro was performing against portable laptops. It was impressive, for sure.

During WWDC, Apple also unveiled a brand new OS for Mac, macOS Big Sur. Even if there is a massive controversy about whether or not the OS looks good at all (understandably), we can’t deny the fact that it is Apple’s most significant redesign of macOS since macOS X.

Can the iPad Pro Replace your Mac?

This question is the most suggested one when you start typing “Can the iPad Pro” on Google. For years now, people have been wondering if the iPad Pro replace their Mac. In most cases, it can. In some cases, it might be a better device than a Mac. And for a handful of users, they should ditch the iPad Pro and get a top of the line 16-inch MacBook Pro.
