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: I'm went iOS-only for awhile and chronicled it. Here's day one.Shortly after buying an iPad Pro last November, I abandoned my Macs for an iOS-only test drive. If you're thinking about buying an iPad Pro and want to know how to truly get the most out of it...

Fantastic screen, Slim design with excellent build quality, Strong performance, Best iPad camera yet
iOS still isn't great at multitasking, Only has half the RAM of the larger model, Optional keyboard is cramped
Calling it a full-blown laptop replacement is a stretch, but Apple's new 9.7-inch iPad Pro is the best conventional tablet the company has made. It combines the power of the original 12.9-inch iPad Pro with the thin frame of the iPad Air 2. Additional...
Abstract: The iPad Pro is now just over three months old, which means we've had time to make it part of our lives — or put it on the shelf.I've written a lot about the iPad Pro lately — but it's time for the rest of iMore's staff to weigh in. Three months into iPad...
Adobe Photoshop Sketch is a perfect example of why artists and designers should give the iPad Pro some real thoughtful consideration. Along with the Apple Pencil, the iPad Pro and Adobe Photoshop Sketch feel as though they were made for one another.I'd sa...

Abstract: First and foremost, it's the fastest and most powerful iPad to date. Everything feels faster than on any other iPad I own or have used. For example, editing photos and videos is virtually lag-free, and opening and working with large documents is noticeabl...
Overall, the iPad Pro has proven to be a very different experience for me than previous iPads. The design is definitely familiar, with the same industrial design and general feel as previous iPads scaled up to a 12.9” form factor. However, the change in s...

Buy it if you want a productive iPad and can stomach the cost, otherwise a MacBook Air will cost you less and provide a more capable OS at the expense of size and the iOS ecosystem...
Abstract: I buy only from these approved sources. I can't vouch for ads below.My Apple iPad Pro came from Santa for Christmas 2015. I asked for it to supercede my perfectly good iPad 2 to give me a bigger, better screen for watching movies and showing my photos.Lit...

great design and build quality, very good stylus (optional), fast SoC, excellent display, great speakers, very good runtimes
scaling of iOS, weak and hot power adaptor, long charging times, no NFC, only LTE Cat. 4, expensive accessories
Even though many users think that it is an affront that Apple has developed a large tablet and even a corresponding pen, the result is very convenient. The Californians certainly did not reinvent the device class, but once again, they have managed to inte...
