The iPad Pro is Apple's response to the growing demand for notebooks that double as tablets. It is an iPad supersized to 12.9-inches and it benefits from the support of a ‘Smart Keyboard' and the Apple ‘Pencil' stylus.

Four speakers; 5 million pixel display; Excellent split-screen multitasking; Powerful innards for a tablet

Smart cover has a poor form factor and is uncomfortable to use; Pencil Stylus needs to be recharged and cannot be stowed; Heavy users will have to settle for less than ordinary battery life; Accessories are overly expensive

Nothing will ever feel as big as the new iPad Pro. Nothing. Why is it so huge and why do I love it so much? Tell me why

This year, for the first time since 2010, Apple didn't update its flagship iPad. Except it did. Suddenly, the iPad Air 2 isn't Apple's classiest tablet any more. It's been overtaken by a more advanced, bigger brother.

The iPad Pro is not for everyone. It's simply too big for some customers which is why Apple will continue to offer the iPad Mini and the iPad Air 2. But anyone who likes to draw and paint or design and anyone who wants to use detailed apps and get even closer to what they're designing or studying...

I have been using the iPad Pro for at least 5 months for home and school use, this is truly a masterpiece. This tablet has awesome specs and paired with iOS it truly has the right balance of hardware to software, though I really wish there was a better camera as it uses the iPad Air 2 camera but...

The iPad Pro is a powerful tablet with top of the line performance. However, it isn't the ideal device for the average consumer. If you have specific need that justfies the purchase of the iPad Pro, then by all means go ahead and buy it.

Great performance; Good battery life; Well built tablet; Good sound output

Unwieldy Smart Keyboard; Can't change the angle while using the keyboard; Not enough apps to exploit the display

It's quite impossible to have one device to rule them all, but I'd be happy if I could bring it down to two. The thought of not having to lug one and also one less device to charge is not a bad idea.

A pessimist might dismiss the iPad Pro as a "gamble," but to do so would be foolish. What the iPad Pro does and what it promises feel like inevitabilities, in many ways. Rather than a gamble, the iPad Pro is instead a bold statement from Apple about the future of computing.

The A9X chip is powerful and capable of anything you can throw at it; The 12.9-inch Retina display is gorgeous; and the new four-speaker array is welcome; Ultraportable form factor and 10-plus hours of battery life in a beautiful; svelte package; Smart Connector opens the iPad Pro to a world of new...

iOS 9 needs more consistent cross-app support and a easy file system to replace OS X for power users; Apps don't yet properly utilize the larger screen size; even some of Apple's own; Apple cheaped out with last-gen cameras and Touch ID

I'll start this review off by saying that I am really an Android person and am not in love with iOS. I had to buy this to do some testing at work and I am not in love with it either.
