T his 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 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.

Overall, the iPad Pro has proven to be a very different experience for me than previous iPads. The design is definitely familiar, with the same industrial design and general feel as previous iPads scaled up to a 12.9" form factor.

I don't use most of the advertised features of the iPad Pro. I haven't activated the split-screen multitasking feature more than a couple of times – just to see how it worked. I haven't used Siri.

A gigantic, powerful iPad with some unique 2-in-1 capabilities… if you're willing to fork out for the accessories.

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

"This is stupid," said my partner when I first showed her the iPad Pro, "why would anyone want a tablet this big?" After five minutes doodling with the Apple Pencil, her tone had changed completely. "Do you have to give this one back?

Gorgeous screen; Apple Pencil is amazing; Great speakers

Smart Keyboard is underwhelming; iOS isn't optimised for two-in-one experiences; Expensive

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

Apple's 9.7-inch iPad Pro is the best tablet you can buy.

Best tablet cameras and speakers ever; Powerful enough for real productivity; Thin and portable; Apple Pencil is the best stylus available; iOS has best tablet apps; frequent updates

Expensive at every option level; Cramped screen for multitasking; Not a true laptop replacement

Product is, of course FANTASTIC and I received it fast to Canada. Sound is amazing and it's perfect for streaming. So happy with it.
