IPad Air 2 better for many
Pencil extra
Won't replace your laptop
Pro 9.7in is very expensive
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
Windows and tabs. Split screen on an iPad
With
Base model only has 32GB of storage
Apple still won't sell a tablet with OS X
What do you do with that 12.9
Inch iPad Pro you bought?
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
Expensive
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
Far from cheap
Tighter typing experience
Pricey accessories
Keyboard cover won't suit everyone
Other similarly sized tablets have longer battery life
High price (even higher than at launch)
Smaller Smart Keyboard isn't easy to type on accurately
Camera lens sticks out at rear
Expensive at every option level
Cramped screen for multitasking
Not a true laptop replacement
High price
32GB option isn't enough space
IOS could be better
Keyboard design
Not as Pencil friendly
Accessories cost extra
There is no microSD card slot
So the memory cannot be expanded if you opt for the smaller capacity
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

Updated processor, improved speaker design, incredible display, great cameras, variety of useful accessories
Optional keyboard can feel a bit cramped
With this latest update, Apple again shows that each generation of iPad is edging closer to the capabilities that not long ago were limited to traditional desktops and laptops. The iPad actually surpasses a PC in some ways with features like the True Tone...
The display is great along with performance, sound quality, and battery life
The cost of the iPad is steep, but not everyone has funds to buy this device. The camera was ok when it came to indoor photos
By now I'm sure you're wondering if you should upgrade from your current iPad Pro or iPad Air 2 and my response to that is yes and no. So, why the two answers? Well, you can upgrade if you think you need a new iPad to stay up to date or are tired of the 1...
Best display of any iOS device, Outstanding performance, Long battery life
2GB of RAM not enough, No microSD card slot, Higher price compared with other iPads at launch
The 9.7-inch iPad Pro is a compelling upgrade for users of earlier iOS tablets, especially those with a first-generation iPad Air and before. World-class performance and beautiful a display are highlights.On the other side of the coin, Apple missed some o...

True Tone display, Lightweight and powerful, Now comes with a 256 GB storage option
Limitations on iOS is what preventing this in replacing the laptop, Expensive
Whatever size, shape or form, the iPad was always the best tablet and it still is. The 9.7-inch iPad Pro improves on the iPad Air 2 in every way but if you already have it, no need to rush in upgrading...
Beautiful display with great outdoor visibility, Camera is comparable to those on the latest smartphones, Allday battery life, Apple Pencil is a wellmade digital sketching tool, Highquality builtin speakers
Expensive for a tablet, starting at $599, Smart Keyboard is small, rather uncomfortable, and too expensive
We hate to start our conclusion with a cliché but the iPad Pro 9.7 is the best tablet money can buy right now. Period. That's partially because it is a well-built, feature packed piece of kit, but also greatly due to the fact that Apple's rivals on the t...

Super portable, Crazy power, Great accessories, Sharp, gorgeous screen, Strong battery life
True Tone is a bit pants, Expensive accessories
The iPad Pro 9.7 isn't just a slightly smaller version of the original Pro tablet. It's a more portable tab that boasts the same great performance in a much more comfortable-to-use form, at a much lower price. We weren't kidding when we said that the Pro...

Abstract: Tablets havent had a great time lately. In the last two years, sales have plummeted and production has slowed to a crawl. While a lot of that is due to the fact they dont have the manic upgrade calendar of traditional computers or smartphones, its also...

Great form factor is easier to hold than larger Pro. Less expensive than larger Pro. Technology represents a step up from iPad Air 2 at same size. A very fast tablet. Great, bright display with True Tone. The best cameras ever seen on iPad. Very good batt
Expensive compared to current iPad Air 2 price, and extra features may not be worth it to a fair number of prospective users. Smaller screen makes for a slightly diminished drawing/typing experience compared to larger Pro. Audio not as good as larger Pro
Pros: Great form factor is easier to hold than larger Pro. Less expensive than larger Pro. Technology represents a step up from iPad Air 2 at same size. A very fast tablet. Great, bright display with True Tone. The best cameras ever seen on iPad. Very goo...

Abstract: It's a well known fact that Apple doesn't advertise the waterproof abilities of its products, but that doesn't stop reviewers and testers from dunking them in liquid. The iPad Pro 9.7 went through such a test, together with a Galaxy S7.The first contact w...

very good display, stable Wi-Fi, Apple SIM (eSIM), great GPS module, good speakers, good battery runtimes, fast SoC
NFC only for Apple Pay, power adapter is too weak and gets hot under load, storage of the 32 GB version is slower, no quick-charge, long loading times, high price
Apple once again offers an excellent product with the iPad Pro 9.7, which convinces with familiar virtues and suffers from old quirks. We get a great display, good battery runtimes, best cameras in a tablet, eSIM support, optional support for the Apple Pe...
