OneNote is already one of the best productivity apps on the iPhone, Mac and iPad and Microsoft has already optimised it for the iPad Pro. It features split-screen compatibility, so you can take advantage the Pro’s huge screen-size and use it side by side with other apps. However, it’s OneNote’s compatibility with the Apple Pencil that puts it on this list. It turns the iPad Pro into a huge clipboard, so you can compile handwritten notes and diagrams alongside your voice clips, cuttings and typed notes.Although the iPad Pro brings significant gains for work and productivity, its screen and speakers can’t be ignored when it comes to entertainment. The iPad Pro uses a 12.9in screen with a resolution of 2,048 x 2,732, meaning films look pinsharp. We don’t usually say this about iPads, but the Pro’s speakers also make watching TV shows and movies more immersive – even if you’re not wearing headphones. Couple those features with Netflix’s huge range of movies and the iPad Pro is a great binge-watching tool.
Procreate takes advantage of one of the iPad Pro’s best features and
maximises it. Featuring a huge range of brushes, powerful editing tools
and perfect synergy with iPad Pro’s pressure-sensitive Apple Pencil,
Procreate is rightly tipped as the most powerful painting and
illustration tool. It’s a must for any graphic designers or keen art
enthusiasts.Even if you disregard its stylus and keyboard, the iPad
Pro’s supersize screen means it’s a great companion for most editing
tasks, with movie editing being a good example. Thanks to its impressive
resolution and screen real estate, the iPad Pro makes film-editing
simple – and when you add the optimised layout of Apple’s own iMovie
app, things get even easier. Featuring a similar layout to the desktop
version optimised for touchscreens, using iMovie is seamless on the iPad
Pro.
Although the iPad Pro is a creative powerhouse, its optional keyboard means it can be used for other tasks you’d usually associate with laptops. Microsoft Word is still one of the best word processors around, and Microsoft has made it even better for the iPad Pro. Featuring all the functionality you’d expect from a word processor, Microsoft Word throws in great office integration and side by side operation, meaning you can read notes from OneNote while typing up your work in Word.The iPad Pro’s screen is great for movie-editing, with its powerful processor and large screen meaning it’s also a useful tool for editing static images. Whether it’s Lightroom, Photoshop Mix or any of Adobe’s other photo-editing apps, the iPad Pro makes them fast, slick and easy to use. If you’ve got a library of pics that need to be edited, tweaking them, or even just browsing through them, is an enjoyable experience on the iPad Pro.
No list would be complete without at least one game, and SimCity: BuildIt is one of the best to play on the iPad Pro. SimCity has always been one of the best city-making games available, and the iPad Pro makes it even better. The tablet’s large screen means you zoom out and see even more, and it adds to the sense of scale after you’ve built your metropolis. Throw in the iPad Pro’s superfast A9X processor, and EA’s build-em up runs without a hitch too.According to my own private search history, over the past 12 months, I’ve made 14,895 Google searches. That’s 40 searches a day on average, leaving me wondering exactly when I find time to eat, drink, sleep or write. However, I must do all those things because I'm still living, and still employed.

Fortunately, that data is private, so you don’t see exactly how often I look up Derby County stats or pulled pork recipes, but in broad terms, Google has a general oversight of the world’s search interest over time. It’s what allows us, for example, to see when something or someone has truly captured the public’s imagination, for better or worse erhaps more interestingly, though, as we approach the end of the year, it gives us a better year in review than any number of timely retrospective TV shows. These topics aren’t dictated by editorial teams, but by millions of real people, searching for people and topics as they become relevant.If you’re torn between the convenience of a tablet and the functionality of a laptop, there are several options open to you. You can spend more to buy both, spend the same and cut corners on specification, or plump for the third option: the hybrid laptop. The Toshiba Satellite Radius is far from the first to try and pull off the task, but with a 15in display, it’s certainly one of the biggest.
First impressions are pretty good. It certainly looks the part – all tapered corners and brushed aluminium, with a rubberised bar running around the edges that somehow manages to avoid cheapening the design.At 2.24kg, it isn’t the lightest 15in laptop in the world. However, it is commendably slim at 20mm, and it makes the most of its large chassis with a decent amount of connectivity. You get three USB ports (one USB 2 and two USB 3), a headphone jack, an SD card slot and an HDMI video output. It also has both a Start button and volume rocker along the side of the keyboard, primarily for use when the machine is in tablet mode, but both work when the Radius is in regular laptop mode, too.
The screen uses IPS technology, and with a resolution of 1,920 x 1,080, it’s crisp and sharp. It’s bright, too, reaching a maximum brightness of 286cd/m2 – that’s plenty for use indoors – and the contrast ratio of 996:1 ensures that onscreen images are punchy and solid. Generally, it’s a decent screen all-round, with one drawback: it’s extremely reflective. This isn’t a problem if you’re viewing it head-on, but it does impact on the viewing angles.And since the Toshiba Satellite Radius doubles up as the world’s most impractical tablet, it’s also a touchscreen. The screen hinge allows you to flip the entire keyboard around 360 degrees. Windows 10 does a valiant job of noticing and asking if you want to hop into tablet mode, but you’re still left holding a hefty 15in tablet with a non-functioning keyboard on the back.
Toshiba Satellite Radius 15 review: The keyboard is comfortable, but the touchpad is a real weak spot
Still, it does make the whole thing fairly flexible. The screen holds
at whatever angle you decide to fix it at, so you can prop up the screen
in "tent†mode to view the screen without the need for any kind of
additional prop. That’s handy for video viewing, but in most instances,
it’s hard to see any real advantages to this.You may find the
touchscreen a welcome addition even if you don’t use it in tablet mode,
but the reason for this isn’t a ringing endorsement: the touchpad is
really unpleasant to use. In general use, I found myself frequently
resizing windows and tapping things by accident, while it often refused
to scroll, or even take the cursor where I wanted. Maddening, but
amusing for nearby colleagues, who heard a series of obscenities as the
laptop blocked my attempts to hit deadlines.
The keyboard fares better. The 15in frame of the machine means
spacing between the keys is generous, and the keys offer a good amount
of resistance, allowing for swift, comfortable typing. There’s even
enough space to include a full-sized number pad on the side.Toshiba
Satellite Radius 15 review: Harmon Kardon-branded speakers run along the
top of the keyboard
Interestingly, Toshiba has also added a dedicated Cortana button,
right next to the Esc key. Toshiba (and Microsoft) really want you to
know it’s there: there’s a blue sticker in the shape of a speech bubble
above it saying "Hi, I’m Cortana†when you pull the laptop from its box.
Calling Cortana’s attention is indeed quick and easy, although how much
you’ll actually use the feature is open to debate.
