In a previous iPad advertisement, Apple famously asked “What’s a computer?” The company has taken a step past that with its latest ad that urges people to make an iPad Pro their next computer.

The less-than-a-minute video goes on to delineate some of the capabilities of the latest iOS tablet.

Watch it now:

The name of this ad is completely descriptive: 5 Reasons iPad Pro can be your next computer. That’s exactly what it offers.

Apple’s description for the video on YouTube sums up those reasons: “Meet the new iPad Pro. It’s powerful, versatile, and goes anywhere and stays connected everywhere, and it’s even better with the all-new Apple Pencil. It’s like a computer, unlike any computer.”

With just 50 seconds, the advertisement apparently didn’t have time to mention some of the new features in the 2018 iPad Pro, such as its USB-C port or Face ID. Perhaps those will come up in future ads.
