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

Excellent screen, Slim and lightweight for its size, Superb Pencil accessory, Loud speakers
iOS is starting to how its limitations, Not all apps are updated yet for the bigger screen, Expensive
That's the big question isn't it? Will the iPad Pro completely replace your notebook? Not quite. The iPad is still a tablet and if you are looking for more computing power then this may not be the product for you. It's a perfect tool for creativity though...

Huge display, Multitasking that makes the most of the screen, Incredibly good speakers, All-weekend battery life
Surprisingly buggy software, Lackluster cameras, Almost as expensive as a laptop, even without core accessories,
That puts the iPad Pro in the same league as the MacBook Air ($899) and at the higher trims it even gets close to the base model MacBook Pro ($1299) – and here we come to the fundamental problem with the iPad Pro. If you're spending much the same money...

The Create is the first third-party keyboard for the iPad Pro. Though it suffers from some of the same drawbacks as Apple's offering, it's still the clear winner, with handy shortcut keys, backlighting and a more comfortable typing experience. If you're...

Abstract: Since going on sale earlier this month, Tim Cook has been bullish on the iPad Pro. Not only does he believe it's the best iPad you can buy, but the Apple CEO also thinks it can completely replace your PC.“I think if you're looking at a PC, why would you b...

The iPad Pro isn't for everyone: It performs well, but iOS 9 isn't as adept at multitasking as a laptop operating system, and the lack of any mouse input can get tiresome. That said, its fast performance and smooth pen input could be useful for creati...
Laptop-level power, Surprisingly light, Pencil accessory is the best stylus experience on a mainstream tablet
Very expensive, Touch-centric UI with keyboard is awkward, Apps don't quite complete your workflow
Apple's supersized iPad Pro brings the concept of a digital sketchbook to the next level, but now iOS app developers have to match the power of OS X and Windows apps...
The iPad Pro is the natural choice if you want a tablet that can handle intensive office tasks and creative suites on the go, thanks to its spacious screen, impressive performance, precision control and all-day battery life. However, it's also very expens...
