The Apple iPad Pro 12.9 inch pushes the capability of the iPad into new territory. The Pro is significantly larger, faster and more powerful than other tablets, and comes close to the potential of a MacBook, especially with the addition of the optional Smart Keyboard.

If you've been waiting for a super-sized iPad, we're sure you won't be disappointed with the iPad Pro - it's everything we expected and more. It packs serious performance, a gorgeous screen that's great for working on, an optional keyboard that's actually pretty good, into a package that's tough,...

Unlike the two sizes of iPhone 6S , which are almost identical, the iPad Pros have totally different screens and cameras, as well as some altered internal hardware. This means that there are very real reasons why you might want the smaller iPad Pro more than its big brother, aside from the size and...

Slim and incredibly light; Awesome screen and speakers; Excellent performance; Good on-the-go typing experience

Not as portable as other iPads; Most will still need a proper computer; No iOS optimisations for the big screen

As beautiful, sturdy and remarkable the iPad Pro is, I am still struggling to think who the tablet has been made for. Not for the regular business user, the Smart KeyBoard angle is too jaunty for comfortable working while travelling. And it is simply not made for laptop use.

Beautiful build; Stunning screen; Large screen great for creative industries; Brilliant audio

Very expensive; Size can be unwieldy for some; Internal storage not conducive for creative work E.g: Final Cut; Photoshop etc; Keyboard flimsy & difficult to work with; on the go

An excellent choice for artists, graphic designers and doodlers – a little more unbalanced and therefore not a perfect fit for everyone else

High quality screen; Excellent stylus; Very fast performance

Can be unwieldly; Heavy; Flawed keyboard cover; Stylus is pricy

I bought this a month ago from John Lewis and I have to say bigger is definitely better. The screen is light too and very easy to hold. The screen is lovely and I never lose internet connection on this iPad. The audio is so much superior, it sound amazing. Apple are back big time!

It's Apple's biggest tablet ever. But does that mean the iPad Pro can replace both your laptop and tablet to become the sole computing device in your home? With many divided over whether or not a giant tablet is the answer - a question we've seen before from the Microsoft Surface Pro (now in its...

Massive screen with high resolution looks great; Apple Pencil accessory works really well; best iPad performance to date; Smart Connector wireless accessory connections

Weights same as a laptop with optional keyboard added; not as portable as other iPads; keyboard accessory doesn't truly turn it into a laptop; iOS not OS X will divide "pro" opinion

A brilliant iPad that takes the devices into a new realm. We've loved using it, but just make sure you're ready for the larger size and weight.

The iPad Pro is a device in its own right. It's a larger iPad, but imbued with new abilities and power that makes it light years ahead of the iPad Air 2. It's not as capable as dedicated laptop, but that misses the point... this is just an awesome iPad. The only issue depends on your perspective.

Great screen; Loads of power; Brilliant speakers

Weighty; iOS 9 not a Windows 10 rival
