The iPad Pro 12.9-inch model is on sale for $200 off

We’ve now reached the singularity when it comes to personal computers. Do you really need a laptop or desktop PC when more and more tablets boast just as much processing power? The noble laptop has served us well as a portable computer and helped us all pretend like we were taking notes during college lectures and not watching cat videos. Get ready for the new era of computing portability with a sale on the powerful iPad Pro at Amazon. 

Ditch your laptop and get the 12.9-inch Apple iPad Pro with 256GB of storage for $1,099 at Amazon. That’s $200 off the latest model that also includes both WiFi and cellular, so you can work everywhere. The 15 percent discount is the best iPad Pro deal on Amazon, but you can save up to 13 percent on the 64GB or 512GB models if you need storage capacity that’s just right. 

With a focus on powerful performance compared with other iPads, the iPad Pro is the tablet that’s as close as ever to replacing your laptop or even desktop computer. Inside is the A12X Bionic chip that contains eight CPU cores compared to the A12 chip in the iPad Air, which has just six cores but is still no slouch. Along with the Neural Engine for advanced machine learning, you won’t have much use for your old PC laptop. 

All of that combines for a device that allows you to do just about whatever you can think to do on a tablet. If you also get an Apple Pencil, you can draw and design on-the-go on the gorgeous and expansive 12.9-inch Retina touch display. It even records 4K video, so it even allows you to edit and export videos. And the A12X Bionic chip also provides the power needed for processor-heavy tasks such as gaming and immersive augmented reality apps. The iPad Pro helps you get a lot of work done, but it also gives you a lot of options to have plenty of fun, too.

If you’re in the market for a new laptop, you owe it to yourself to at least consider the iPad Pro. A $200 discount might be the push you need to say goodbye to the era of laptops.
