Editor's note, March 18, 2019: Apple has announced two new iPads. Starting at $499 (£479, AU$779) for the 64GB model, the new iPad Air features a 10.5-inch Retina display, an A12 Bionic processor and support for the Apple Pencil.

Excellent display, upgraded storage options, faster processor, better cameras and a bigger display in a still-compact size; Faster refresh-rate display also means faster Apple Pencil responsiveness

Most of the cool new software features require iOS 11, which isn't coming until September; No newly imagined accessories and the ones you need (Pencil, keyboard) drive up the cost to laptop levels

Bought it for work and it's great. It's light, has great battery life, and stores all my files. I write insurance and do a lot of e apps and pdf apps and it does all of them well.

Short review: this device is so fun to use, I find every excuse to use it which in turn makes my productivity go up Overall review: Ive been wanting this iPad since it came out and I was not disappointed when I finally got my hands on one.

The new iPad Pros could not be any better. The screens are amazing, and they are wicked fast. This device definitely feels like the most refined version of the iPad Apple has ever released.

I decided to replace my laptop as it was taking 10 minutes to do anything and the last windows 10 updates made it even worse Can't think why I hadn't done it earlier, the IPd Pro is great I uploaded Microsoft Office and have had NO problems Battery life is really good

There is a reason apple calls "Apple iPad Pro (11-inch, Wi-Fi, 256GB)" a Pro version; it is! Many have said that this product does not stack up to a desktop computer or a laptop computer, wrong! The only difference is the peripherals and this computer is capable of adding any peripheral you want.

Excellent iPad, super fast and reliable. I like the design.

I have always had to print out scientific papers to get the most out of reading them, so that I can write notes on the article. I felt that previous tablets were always missing something. Either they couldn't measure up to a response time close enough to reality where I wasn't distracted by the lag.

Love it I am doing fashion design this year and love how I can just sketch my designs with the apple pen straight from onto my iPad

This is the best iPad Apple has come out with. The 11" is not too small, not too big. Works perfectly. All the accessories are a plus but not needed. Only downfall was that the case that comes with it was not the color I requested, nor does it even fit. Way too small.
