The editors didn't like
New LiDAR functionality is limited
Still can't rival a laptop in many ways
Very expensive
No kickstand without case
No headphone socket
Still has limitations as a PC/Mac replacement
Do we need this much performance in a tablet?
Gets terribly expensive if specced to match a laptop
External monitor support limited
Performance similar to 2018 model
Expensive
No longer the fastest for its price
Necessary external keyboard adds more cost
Expensive once you add a keyboard
IOS still has its frustrations
LiDAR app support is few and far between
Doesn't feel much faster than 2018 model
Your Lightning accessories won't work (it's USB-C)
Center Stage (camera tracking) can be hit and miss

The iPad Pro is not a direct laptop replacement. Rather, it can conceivably replace your laptop if you have a workflow and attitude that allows it to.The best thing about how the iPad Pro has matured is its embrace of the modular ecosystem. The iPad itsel...

Abstract: It's the highest-specced tablet from Apple, available in two screen sizes: 11in and 12.9in. The 12.9in model is in its fourth-generation, having gone through three major redesigns, and the 11in version is on its second go-round. The last update was in Nov...

good battery life, fast, beautiful screen, optional 4G, USBC, great speakers, Face ID, mouse support, capable work PC replacement, lidar
very expensive, no kickstand without case, no headphone socket, will still need a PC for some tasks
The 2020 iPad Pro is very much the 2018 model plus added cameras and lidar.It's a feature that improves AR and may prove transformative down the line. But AR on a tablet remains niche.Instead the big changes are software as part of iPadOS 13.4, which is a...

The iPad Pro 2020 doesn't really add any exciting new functionality that will change the majority of users' day-to-day usage. Don't get us wrong, though, the cameras are a nice addition, while the LiDAR sensor holds a lot of future potential.It's probably...
New LiDAR functionality is limited, Still can't rival a laptop in many ways
The new iPad Pro 2020 is another impressive tablet – but so were the models from 2018. Those devices were powerful, capable and had a multitude of improvements to the technology, and the latest iPad Pro has all of that too; however, apart from a small upg...

Abstract: Remember the Apple ads? " What's a computer? " is something that Apple has wanted you to think about for quite some time now. Yet, Microsoft has fired back with some Surface Pro 7 ads that mock the iPad Pro. No matter how you look at it, the Surface Pro 7...
Extremely high performance, Excellent speakers, Long update support, Great display with HDR content
Weak charger, Slow display response times and PWM brightness control, Only 12 months warranty, iPadOS limits its potential somewhat
The Apple iPad Pro 12.9 (2021) tablet review with a Mini LED display and an M1 SoCThe Apple iPad Pro 12.9 is, once again, an excellent tablet. However, its size, weight, restrictive OS and price continue to render it a niche product. A Mini LED display an...
Gorgeous Mini LED screen, Desktop-level CPU, Excellent cameras and audio, Stellar 5G performance
No real multiple monitor support, iPadOS makes multitasking difficult, Major apps missing from the platform
The 2021 edition of the 12.9-inch iPad Pro is just as powerful as a Mac, but its operating system keeps it so tightly leashed that much of its potential goes unrealized...
