Optimism? It's pretty obvious that Apple is going to start cannibalizing their laptops. I personally already use my ipad pro as a laptop. The file thing is neat, for sure, and I'll use it definitely (zip files, in particular) but it's not that huge for me. I'm mostly cloud based and I already have a file manager app.

This post is about the new iPad Pro release, though. The iPad Pro itself isn't that different from a regular iPad - it has a keyboard and stylus, but the same OS and mostly the same apps. In that regard, Apple was already cannibalizing its laptops with the iPad for a certain set of use cases. The iPad Pro doesn't go much beyond that.
The optimism is in framing the above as "not yet" and that's fine, but that is optimism.
