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 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...
Apple's iPad Pro: the WIRED verdict.
Phenomenal Retina screen; excellent stylus support; thin, light and adaptable
Relatively expensive; not quite a laptop; Pencil and keyboard complement Multi-Touch, but don't replace it
The iPad Pro is a truly wonderful thing to behold but it just isn't for me. The high price puts it out of reach of many and takes it into the luxury and professional gadget sectors.
So, does iPad Pro do enough to replace a laptop (even a MacBook)? Some might be quick to say no, but we think it depends on the user. There are many out there who wouldn't wish to leave behind the extended power capabilities of OS X or Windows, and certain heavy laptop users may dismiss the notion...
A big, beautiful screen that improves many tablet experiences, including watching videos and looking at photos; Extremely fast; Very good, intelligent speakers for an unparalleled audio experience on iPad; Smart Connector opens up new accessory possibilities and adds to device's versatility.
Expensive; Can be unwieldy and uncomfortable to use at times; Accessories add to price, making it no less expensive than a laptop; Portability suffers due to larger size; Some apps look "off" on huge screen.
During my time with the iPad Pro I couldn't help but draw comparisons with other devices out there, like the Microsoft Surface series, that are trying to bridge the laptop-tablet divide, some of which offer both tablet and full OS interfaces.
The original Apple iPad Pro was a stunning machine and despite the relatively minor upgrade, the 2017 model is simply incredible. It's faster, feel more fluid in use than before and remains every bit as good as the original.
The iPad Pro isn't for everyone: It performs well, but iOS 9 isn't as adept at multitasking as a laptop operating system, and the lack of any mouse input can get tiresome. That said, its fast performance and smooth pen input could be useful for creative pros who need a way to stay productive while...
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
The iPad Pro is the natural choice if you want a tablet that can handle intensive office tasks and creative suites on the go, thanks to its spacious screen, impressive performance, precision control and all-day battery life.
Spacious; sharp screen; Impressive power; Well-designed accessories; All-day battery
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.
