"Had this iPad for just a few days now, I have to admit, I should have purchased this before I bought my laptop. This iPad is sleek, lightweight, super fast, I would highly recommend to anyone out there considering purchasing this iPad, to go straight ahead and order now, you won't regret it !!"

Pros: Apple's latest pair of iPad Pro models are now on par with one another, with the new larger iPad Pro gaining the True Tone display, significant camera improvements with flash, and "Hey Siri" support,...

The current non-Pro iPad, starting at $329 for 32GB, is all the slate you need for traditional tablet use, which includes games, magazines, comics, and basic email, writing, and web browsing.

Extremely fast; Light; Excellent screen and cameras; Better battery life than previous iPads

Expensive; Using iOS for pro-level applications requires a shift in thinking; Screen technologies may be too advanced to perceive

My wife's old I pad kept crashing. She moaned about it daily. So it was a no brainer to get her a new one. She loves it. And Brandsmart had an unbeatable price, so at Christmas, I grabbed it and gave it to her.

Apple unveiled the much-rumoured 10.5-inch iPad Pro at this year's Worldwide Developer Conference in San Jose. The successor to arguably the best iPad the company had made to date - the 9.7-inch iPad Pro , reviewed in our July 2016 issue - this new iPad is nothing short of stunning.

Even though the iPad has only been around for seven years, it has revolutionized how we think of computing and started the tablet revolution. And since 2010, Apple has stuck to the 9.7-inch screen size for the main iPad line, until they introduced the 12.9-inch iPad Pro back in 2015.

Beautiful display and the 120Hz refresh rate make it better; Premium design; Excellent battery life; Awesome speakers; Powerful processor; Great performance; iOS 11 looks promising for the iPad; Apple Pencil works great (especially for drawing

Can get as expensive as a laptop (especially when adding cost of accessories; TouchID issues; iOS 10 can be limited

More than most tech companies out there, Apple is a manufacturer that really gets set in its ways: no doubt after a long period of careful consideration, Apple tends to decide, "this is how we're going to do things," and keeps on doing that same thing, over and over, for years and years.

Big; beautiful screen (but not TOO big; Bassy; rich sound; Day-long battery life; Laptop-competitive performance; Great camera for when you need it

With accessories; starts getting expensive; fast; Even with split-screen; iOS doesn't feel optimized for tablets; Audio recording when shooting video doesn't sound great

Last year’s iPad Pro 9.7 was already the best tablet you could buy. Apple could have slapped on a few minor upgrades and called it a day - but this new model is so much more than that. The iPad Pro 10.5 is immensely powerful, with a stunning screen and focus on productivity you simply won’t find in any other tablet. I’ll admit it: for watching movies, scrolling through social media or general web browsing, this is beyond overkill - anyone after a multimedia machine should stick with the standard iPad, and save themselves some cash. For those more interested in creation than consumption, though, this is the iPad to buy - even if the price can hit eye-watering levels. Stepping up to the 256GB model will set you back £709, but add in the Smart Keyboard and Apple Pencil and your total spend will creep north of £900. That might seem like a lot to ask for a tablet, but then this isn’t just a tablet. Not really. Once iOS 11 arrives, I don’t doubt that people will be ditching their laptops and picking up one of these instead. Buy the Apple iPad Pro 10.5in here from Apple (UK) | Apple (USA)

Fantastic display that’s perfect for productivity; Performance that beats full-size laptops; Superb battery life;

Pricey - For most people it’s either this or a laptop; The best is still yet to come with iOS 11;

The iPad Pro 10.5 is a great iPad you can buy if you want an Apple tablet that balances entertainment, productivity and a sleek 10.5-inch form factor. With the tablet-focused iOS 11 update, it's easier to switch apps, even if it's not quite a touchscreen MacBook. It's close to that. The new screen with thinner bezel and powerful speakers is also an audio visual treat.

Amazing audio; Smooth and crisp screen; Insanely powerful;

High price; Keyboard is necessary but extra; Still not quite a laptop replacement

Although it's been replaced with two 2018 models, the iPad Pro 10.5 hasn't been discontinued, although doesn't get the usual price cut. This is good news if you can't afford the new ones, as stunning as they may be, and there's no doubt that this is still an excellent tablet. Just note that it's not compatible with the new Apple Pencil.
