Apple iPad Pro 12.9 (2018) review

 

The latest iPads are the best tablets Apple has ever made, of course. But now they are also highly advertised as fully-fledged computers and the maker...

Great display, 120Hz is a real treat

No 3.5mm audio port

Power users, please look elsewhere - Samsung and Microsoft got you covered if you are after a cutting-edge Android or Windows device. But those who won't use the iPad for work should definitely consider one. Because no matter how Apple tries to...

iPad Pro 12.9 review (2018): The future of computing?

 

Don't be fooled by its new, even more minimalist design: Apple's revamped 12.9-inch iPad Pro is overkill, plain and simple. We have a few things for thank for that, like the absurdly fast A12X Bionic chipset (which actually runs faster than some of the...

New easy-to-hold design ; Beautiful Liquid Retina display ; USB-C for flexibility and faster charging ; Fast performance ; Up to 1TB of storage ; Much-improved Apple Pencil

Non-base configurations get expensive ; iOS 12 feels limited on this ambitious hardware ; Lots of trial-and-error to find compatible USB accessories ; No support for external storage

And there's the rub for me: I have no doubt that some people could use the iPad Pro exclusively and be satisfied. It's more than powerful enough for 4K video editing, photo retouching and stupidly elaborate Photoshop work, not to mention who knows how...

iPad Pro 2018 review: A powerful, beautiful tablet that needs a software overhaul

 

Big, gorgeous, screaming-fast tablet? Absolutely. Laptop replacement? Not until iOS changes and compatible accessories arrive.

The 2018 iPad Pro sports a gorgeous new all-screen design, Face ID and scary-fast performance. The new Pencil is a huge step forward in terms of design and charging.

The Keyboard Folio Case and Pencil are necessary accessories that jack up the already-high total price. None of your old iPad accessories will work, including the original Pencil. The headphone jack is gone, and its single USB-C port won't pay real...

The new iPad Pro is in many ways the pinnacle of tablet hardware design, but its nosebleed price and software limitations narrow its appeal to creatives willing to bend to its current compromises.

Apple iPad Pro (12.9-Inch, 2018)

 

The latest Apple iPad Pro is an amazing feat of engineering, but it doesn't have the applications for truly pro-level workflows.

Amazingly fast hardware. Excellent networking capabilities. Good cameras. New Apple Pencil is terrific.

Hardware is held back by its operating system.

The standard $329 iPad, which is really $600 to $800 once you add the keyboard, Pencil, and storage options you want, is a great little computer at the right price. For drawing, word processing, web browsing, a bit of photo editing, some content...

Apple iPad Pro review 2018: the fastest iPad is still an iPad

 

The thing about bullet trains is that they're always on rails

Beautiful, high refresh rate display ; USB-C port makes life easier ; Apple Pencil is far more practical ; Extremely powerful

Expensive ; No USB-C storage device support ; No headphone jack ; iPad app ecosystem underdeveloped and feature-limited ; iOS limitations are extremely frustrating

Apple completely redesigned the iPad Pro, and we spent a few days with it to review it. It’s got Face ID, huge displays, and a new USB-C port.

Apple iPad Pro 12.9 (2018, LTE, 256 GB) Tablet Review

 

Strong and expensive. The release of the third generation of Apple's huge tablet has coincided with a complete redesign that shares more design cues with the new iPhone XS series than classic iPhones. Apple has equipped its most-expensive tablet with...

great display ; stylish design ; good speakers ; fast Wi-Fi ; powerful SoC ; impressive battery life ; quick LTE connectivity ; eSIM support for dual-SIM functionality

large camera bump ; software restrictions ; the main camera is largely unchanged ; limited USB Type-C features ; long load times ; only 12 months warranty ; no expandable storage

The Apple iPad Pro 12.9 (2018) not only impressed us during Apple’s keynote but also when we first received our test device. Yes, it is still a huge tablet, but it is slimmer and lighter than its predecessors. The new Apple Pencil feels great in the...

iPad Pro 12.9 review

 

Apple's biggest digital canvas, the iPad Pro 12.9, is finally fit to replace 13-inch laptops.

Tremendous 12.9-inch display ; Laptop-beating performance ; USB-C port replaces Lightning

Supremely expensive ; Starts with 64GB of storage ; Battery life could be better

The redesigned iPad Pro 12.9 is Apple’s biggest and best digital canvas thanks to its massive display and the second-generation Apple Pencil. It has become our favourite way to sketch, edit photos and take notes on the go. However, it's also supremely...

iPad Pro 12.9-inch review: Putting Apple's 'pro' claim to the test

 

Is the iPad Pro really a pro device? Apple seems to think so, but that is the question we set out to answer while looking at the new 12.9-inch iPad Pro by putting Apple's biggest and priciest tablet yet into the center of our professional workflow.

The New iPad Pro Is the Last Great Tablet

 

The standalone tablet is all but dead. It's been supplanted by 2-in-1s like the Surface Pro, which promises the excellent content consumption powers of a tablet, crossed with the actual productivity of a real laptop. Still, Apple has defiantly...

Great battery life, beautiful display.
