New iPad. 1Ghz CPU and 1GB of Ram

Oh no! The new iPad only has a 1Ghz CPU and 1Gb of Ram! Why did I just throw away my 12-core Mac Pro? I was under the impression I would be able to run After Effects and Premier on the new iPad! I knew I should have been rational!

But seriously folks. We all know that in general Macs and iOS devices can do twice the work with half power since Windows and Android are so grossly bloated. FanDroids and Windards never seem to be able to grasp this fact. Their favorite argument: This Windows laptop has a 12.4Ghz processors and 100Gb of Ram and it only costs 11 dollars vs your MacBook Pro that cost 2000 dollars. Well why is that last year the MacBook Pro was regarded as "The Fastest Laptop We've ever tested" by multiple, reliable sources? It obviously doesn't have the obnoxious specs as an Alienware Laptop PC. How come the Alienware isn't branded as a workstation grade machine. Its because Specs vs Performance are relative to the OS. It's like putting a V8 engine in 10,000lb truck and assuming that it will be faster than a 2,000lb car with a V6.

We all know the guys over in Cupertino will not make a machine with sub par performance. Smoothness, ease of use and reliability come standard in every last one of their wonderful products. This is why Apple has been so successful. This is why so much excitement surrounds the release of every new product. And this is why the "New iPad" will be just as amazing as the original regardless of the "specs."
