Tech-savvy people always seem to miss the mark - but as someone that struggled to get my tech illiterate parents to be productive on a personal computer...giving up and just getting them an iPad was a revelation.
It's not a difficult proposition:
1. iPad for consumption
2. Mac for production
It's really that simple - though the ipad pro kinda blurs that line a little bit - but it's mostly for those creative types that want the "drawing experience" which the mac does not provide, mostly as a response to the Surface line of products. I can see where a graphic designer would have a Mac for "day to day" stuff and then jump to their ipad pro to do their "work drawing". Maybe having the files synced in iCloud so that they can do the final touch-ups on the Mac. Some might just buy the USB tablet or whatever and that's fine for some, but I would think the majority prefer the draw-on-the-screen feel and experience. iPad excels at that, so it makes sense to have the "pro" version with the extra horsepower for that niche market and a premium.
