iPad Pro is a tablet computer designed, developed, and marketed by Apple Inc.

iPad Pro 12.9-inch and 9.7-inch versions are the best and most accessible tablet PCs that Apple has made to date. As opposed to a MacBook, the iPad pro has given the regular Apple tablet user a more adaptable device, which can be used just like a PC and in a more user-friendly manner.

According to Tech Crunch, it is easier to hold the iPad Pro close to ones face as necessary, something that is almost impossible with a MacBook. It is also easier to tweak to ones preferences. In other words, the iPad Pro offers much more versatility than a laptop, especially for people with disabilities.

Some columnists have even gone ahead to choose the 12.9-inch iPad over the 9.7-inch variant in terms of accessibility. From this standpoint, they believe that 12.9 inches of display is a huge advantage to users, particularly those who have visual impairments.

Pixel density and color accuracy aside, the screen's sheer size of iPad 12.9-inch is enough to display bigger and rich graphics that a mild visual impaired individual can see. As if that is not enough, all things are done by a mere touch on the screen, bringing the whole idea of "bigger is better" into view, Imore reported.

When it comes to holding the iPad Pro, both the 9.7-inch and the 12.9 inch variants are not challenging in this field. Of course they may be heavier than iPad air variants, but holding them is comfortable, especially when done with two hands. It is yet much more undemanding if they are held on a lap or a table when typing with the smart keyboard.

Other notable accessibility features of the iPad Pro are the Apple Pencil and the Smart Keyboard. The two accessories are less bulky and easy to use, with reviewers preferring them to other third party versions.

It is clear that a MacBook may remain better than the iPad in the performance of certain tasks, but the iPad Pro is getting more powerful with the list of things it can do. In terms of ease of use and accessibility, iPad Pro is undoubtedly a winner over a laptop.
