The iPad Pro is a high-end hybrid tablet suitable for business like usage and design. It launched in New Zealand in November 2015 and competes with Microsoft's Surface Pro 4 in the hybrid laptop and tablet segment.
iPad Pro sports a large 12.9-inch Retina display packed with 5.6 million pixels. No other iOS device on the market packs so many pixels. Business usage typically involves working on multiple apps at the same time. A high-performance 64-bit A9X chip ensures speedy processing that matches the performance of many laptops. It's 1.8 times faster than iPad Air 2 for example, and the graphics performance is doubled.
It's a light and thin device despite its capabilities and 10-hour battery life. Superfast charging is available: 15 seconds charging yields 30 minutes life!
Business usage and productivity apps often require a physical keyboard. The Smart Keyboard covered is docked to the iPad Pro. Just unfold it when you need it and start typing. The keyboard functions as a cover when not in use.
Apple Pencil is a drawing tool and technology that takes full advantage of the screen in terms of tilting, pressure and responsiveness. It's ideal for collaborative design and other types of creative work.
Apple Pencil is sold separately as an accessory.

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
