iPad Pro Rumors: New iPad Will Be A Tablet-Laptop Hybrid Aimed At Enterprise Market, Could Arrive With Microsoft Office Suite

There have been lots of iPad Pro rumors lately, and we just couldn't help it but imagine Apple's new slate with the features which would allegedly arrive with it.

Now, another rumor tells us that the new iPad Pro (or Max) will be a tablet-laptop hybrid and will be market towards the enterprise industry where devices are used mainly for businesses or work. 

According to MacRumors, Evercore analyst Patrick Wang reports that Apple will make better profit if it replaces the MacBook Air with the rumored 12.9-inch iPad. However, undertaking such a task would meant that the Cupertino manufacturer would lose one of its most popular lineups,

In addition, another problem that Apple could face is that it would need to include more storage into the iPad Pro in order to appeal to enterprise users. Above all, it should have the option to be use Microsoft Office as most core business processes are performed using these programs. 

Fortunately, the report says Microsoft is already developing an Office suite for the iPad, and hopefully for the larger iPad Pro once it is released in May or October this year. 

With a rumored flip cover that doubles as a keyboard, the 12.9" iPad could certainly be a great option for consumers who like a laptop with a touchscreen, a feature the current lineup of MacBook Airs do not have.
