Apple's original iPad made the tablet a mainstream device, and for more than five years 9.7 inches was the largest diagonal iOS device available. Not anymore - we now have the iPad Pro, all 12.9 inches of it.

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

You can argue that all of what I've said works well on Microsoft's Surface Pro 4. And you're absolutely right. But would you rather use a device that handles everything designed twenty years back really well, or are you willing to take a chance on a platform that will set the tone for the next...

+ Beautiful Screen + Amazing Speakers + Good Multitasking + Apple Pencil

- Platform needs to evolve - Older version of TouchID

Apple may be playing catch-up, issuing its first oversize tablet, but the iPad Pro cuts no corners: It's a fittingly luxurious take on the form.

Gorgeous; large display; Surprisingly thin and light for size; Exceptional graphics processing; Four powerful speakers; Can connect keyboard sans pairing; wires; or batteries

Stylus is pricey; not attachable; Keyboard case has few stand positions; So-so battery life; No built-in stand; USB ports; MicroSD slot

A9X chip has power to burn; 12.9-inch Retina display is stunning; Incredible audio performance; Extensive iPad-optimized app ecosystem; Smart Keyboard is a welcome addition; Apple Pencil is the best stylus on the market

iOS still has some limitations; Peripherals add considerably to cost; Built-in apps could have been taken further

When Apple launched its iPad Pro , my eyebrows went up. A gigantic, 13-inch tablet for $1,000 (even more with the nearly essential new keyboard and Apple Pencil stylus)? Who would want such a thing? What benefits will this bring to the table - besides actually being the table?

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,...

OMG… its JUST AWESUM!!! I loved it. I am just waiting to start using this.

If you want to be productive get this one with keyboard and pencil for a laptop experience and it still needs a usb lightning port along with charging port to fully replace my macbook but I would expect that in next generation as a standard option to be able to plug in super drive card readers and...

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!
