This could be a more convincing laptop replacement if iOS took some more cues from OS X El Capitan. I can't work nearly as quickly or efficiently as I can on a MacBook in which I can open multiple programs

A higher price
Plus expensive accessories. Less RAM and a slightly slower processor than the 12.9-inch iPad Pro. iOS still limits overall flexibility of this iPad

It's a fingerprint magnet
Not as enticing as the S7 Edge
Sound through the headphone jack lacks sparkle
True Tone really needs to be turned off for videos
Photos etc

High price (even higher than at launch)
Smaller Smart Keyboard isn't easy to type on accurately

So the memory cannot be expanded if you opt for the smaller capacity

This new iPad Pro (or should we just call it the iPad 7?) is a fantastic upgrade on the inside, and has a few outward charms, as well. It looks nearly identical to the iPad Air 2, but its four speakers are a step above its predecessor, and can actually...

The Apple iPad Pro 9.7in is a great tablet that packs some of the iPad Pro's powerful features into a size that's more manageable to slip into your handbag. Bridging the gap between a tablet and a laptop, the iPad Pro 9.7in is superfast when it comes to o...

The 9.7-inch iPad Pro is probably a look at the future of iPad — it's a manageable size, has an industry-leading display, and is a joy to create art on. That said, we wonder if it'll truly attract Windows converts without running a full operating system...
