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.

I brought the iPad Pro a mouth ago. Straight away the quality shone through. From the feel, magnificent screen and operating system. All much better than my old android tablet. I have not been through all the things this tablet offers yet but look forward to finding out in the near future.

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...

Apple makes state of the art products, period. The iPad Pro 12.9" is all that I dreamed it would be and then some. As a grad student, I'm glad I went with the extra-large screen, because I know I will be able to multitask between school and work and excel in all I do.

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
