Massive screen with high resolution looks great
Apple Pencil accessory works really well
Best iPad performance to date
Smart Connector wireless accessory connections
High-resolution screen
Fantastic speakers
Blisteringly quick
There's something intangibly great about the iPad Pro the minute you pick it it up. You'll recognise it instantly as an iPad as it retains a very close design language to the others in the range
But it just looks… bigger. That sounds so ridiculously obvi
So much crisp display
Improved immersive sound experience
Super long battery life
The new iPad Pro is the biggest and fastest Apple tablet to date. The pressure-sensitive Pencil stylus offers superior sketching and drawing
And the Pro's gorgeous giant screen and quad speakers are ideal for split-screen apps

The editors didn't like
Weights same as a laptop with optional keyboard added
Not as portable as other iPads
Keyboard accessory doesn't truly turn it into a laptop
IOS not OS X will divide "pro" opinion
Price
Mediocre battery life
Could I use this as a laptop replacement? Well
It depends what you're using your laptop for now. If it's idly browsing the web and thinking about writing a novel one day
Then absolutely. Anything beyond that
You're still going to need to keep one aroun
Not 3D Touch-enabled
Accessories not included
Supersized price tag
At launch
Very few apps are currently optimized to take advantage of the iPad Pro's full potential. Its large size makes it less portable than other iPads. Once you've paid for the Pencil and keyboard peripherals
The iPad Pro costs as much as a good lap
Can be unwieldly
Heavy
Flawed keyboard cover
Stylus is pricy
Very expensive
Size can be unwieldy for some
Internal storage not conducive for creative work E.g
Final Cut
Photoshop etc
Keyboard flimsy & difficult to work with
On the go
Only the 12.9-inch model gets the best screen
Very few upgrades over previous model
M2 chip feels a little wasted
Powerfully huge
IOS 9 adds complexity
Battery life could be longer
Size is a consideration
Pricey
Needs more native apps
Weighty
IOS 9 not a Windows 10 rival
Most will still need a proper computer
No iOS optimisations for the big screen
As expensive as a pricey laptop
Too heavy and large to hold one-handed
Relatively expensive
Not quite a laptop
Pencil and keyboard complement MultiTouch
But don't replace it
Costly
Range of prolevel creative apps for iOS remains limited
There is no microSD card slot
So the memory cannot be expanded
There is no HDMI port
So you can't easily watch images or videos from the iPad on your TV unless you invest in a TV streaming device
Its large size means it's not as compact to carry aroun

Abstract: Apple's souped-up iPad Pro is supposed to be a laptop replacement — yet as many have already pointed out, it just isn't up to the task. So I decided to use the iPad Pro as its namesake suggests: As a huge arse iPad. To my surprise, I liked it.The iPad Pro...
Four speakers, 5 million pixel display, Excellent split-screen multitasking, Powerful innards for a tablet
Smart cover has a poor form factor and is uncomfortable to use, Pencil Stylus needs to be recharged and cannot be stowed, Heavy users will have to settle for less than ordinary battery life, Accessories are overly expensive

The Apple iPad Pro is a stunning machine. It looks fantastic and, once you get over just how big it is, the size becomes a benefit, with its immersive screen and a giant playground of real estate for apps to exploit.It is expensive - but despite this, the...
Abstract: Apple has achieved an interesting milestone with its gigantic new 12.9-inch iPad Pro. It has produced a tablet bigger than one of its laptops, the 11-inch MacBook Air. So you can have two radically different Apple experiences with devices of similar scre...

Abstract: The iPad Pro is dauntingly big. It's also surprisingly thin -- 6.9mm thin, which is slimmer than an iPhone 6S.It's not very heavy, clocking in at 1.57 well-balanced pounds. But that weight will become noticeable pretty quick if you're carrying Apple's new...
Abstract: This is a device I never thought Apple would produce. A 12.9 inch screen? Wow, that's huge, and has been the subject of many rumours of many years. In September those rumours became a reality – now EFTM has had a solid hands-on experience with a device th...

As a tablet for the couch? Yes, but it's a bit expensive and probably a waste of its potential though. The biggest question here isn't whether or not you should buy it as a productivity tablet. The biggest question is whether or not you should (or even co...

Incredible screen, responsive writing and drawing on screen, excellent audio quality, fast processor
Size won't suit everyone, expensive accessories
The iPad Pro is not for everyone. It's simply too big for some customers which is why Apple will continue to offer the iPad Mini and the iPad Air 2. But anyone who likes to draw and paint or design and anyone who wants to use detailed apps and get even c...
