It depends on what a person uses the laptop for. Most people in general only use the laptop for basic web surfing, listening to music and a little bit of productivity work. This is exactly the customers who they are targeting with the iPad. They want to replace the lower end laptop market with these iPads instead.
Of course they also try to target a certain target market which is the creative market where the iPad is an add-on to their already current workflow. For example, if a designer is using the new MS Studio at the office, the ipad would be the mobile carry around device for meetings.
To me the iPad pros target a very very niche market, especially right after they released the budget 2017 model, i take myself as an example, except for some spread sheets and a lot of ms word, the main purpose for my ipad is to watch some youtube videos and iflix, i got myself a 32gb ipad pro 9.7 and kinda regretted it (not because the 10.5 came out) because the stuffs im doing could easily be done on the 2017 ipad.
The ipad pro's biggest selling point is it's smart connector (which at this point is mostly being used as a dock for keyboards) and the apple pencil, which i think the general public would not even bother with, hence why i said niche market, i mean sure, better display better processor, and so on, but it only appeals to a very small portion of people. Most people would've got themselves a laptop (just a little more for macbook air) or a gaming laptop at that price.
