The editors didn't like
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
This is one of the toughest reviews I've ever had to write. The starting point is this: Apple has made the best tablet on the market, full stop. It's probably the best device Apple has ever made, and given the company's history that's saying a lot. It's...

Slick design, amazing display, ability to draw and write on the screen, same camera as iPhone 6S, excellent performance, long battery life
Limited physical connectivity, expensive accessories, has half the RAM of the 12.9inch iPad Pro
The 9.7-inch iPad Pro is the most powerful tablet Apple has ever produced and it has the credentials to hold its own against many laptops. For creativity and productivity on the go, the iPad Pro offers a lot more than any other tablet on the market...
Beautifully built aluminium casing; Still just as thin and light as the iPad Air 2; Lovely screen; Display supports “True Tone” light detection to change the colour of the screen to better accommodate the human eye; Performance increases are welcome; Supp
Expensive, and with so many options in the 9.7 inch line-up to thoroughly confuse on which option you should go for; Won't support all iPad Air 2 cases due to the camera extrusion;
Steve Jobs once proclaimed that the “post-PC era” was here, with tablets ushering in a new feature with one where work and play could be carried around in a device that wasn't really all that computer-like, so to speak.Five years on from that comment, it'...

It's still not a full-fledged laptop killer, but the new 9.7-inch iPad Pro is the best iPad ever made -- a near-perfect balance of tablet power and portability...

Abstract: The other new features of the 9.7in iPad Pro are ones that will seem familiar, because they were the highlight features of the iPad Pro when it launched last spring. First up is support for the Apple Pencil, and I think this is going to be an enormous hit...
Abstract: When the new 9.7 inch iPad Pro was placed down on my desk, it felt like Christmas. I didn't even care that its alluring metal finish was a distinctive shade of pink (or ‘Rose Gold' according to Apple).My previous experience with tablets had consisted of...

The 9.7-inch iPad Pro is one of the best iPads Apple has ever made. It manages to carry all the power you need in a laptop, while being extremely portable. It's packed with features such as the four speakers, support for Pencil and Smart Keyboard, making...
Blazing fast performance, Stunning display, Loud speakers, Compact form factor
Smart Keyboard is flimsy, Not the ideal laptop replacement, Expensive
if you are using a tablet that is more than three years old, it's time to upgrade to the iPad Pro 9.7-inch. It's great for content consumption and playing games even if it's expensive. The Smart Keyboard isn't for everyonr and feels inconvinient. Overall...
