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
Phenomenal Retina screen; excellent stylus support; thin, light and adaptable
Relatively expensive; not quite a laptop; Pencil and keyboard complement MultiTouch, but don't replace it
Like a Fender Stratocaster, a Daler-Rowney A3 sketchbook, or the World Wide Web, the iPad Pro will reward effort, focus and inspiration. But it presents no barriers to skill, either, and encourages experimentation and the taking of risks. Technically it...

Apple now has an iPad for everyone: The iPad Air 2 is the one for most people; the iPad Mini 4 is for the readers out there who don't want a Kindle; and the Pro is for anyone who likes the Air but just needs more space to roam. It's for the person who w...

Back to the heart of the matter: should you buy the iPad Pro?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...
