What makes an iPad "Pro"? Not long ago, you might have included a larger screen in the list of characteristics that turns an ordinary iPad into a Pro device, but the iPad Pro 9.7 turns that idea on its head.

However, I bought mine from Apple, a gold 128gb iPad, and paid over 200.00 less for it. Should have bought the gray but wanted something different. As for the tablet. I have purchased more tablets in the last six years than you can shake a stick at. All but one were android tablets.

I bought this Apple IPad for my four year old daughter, She loves her tablet however the accessories were not worth the extra money parts of the stand broke, I can't charge the apple pencil. The car charger wasn't necessary because I don't own a car, I even use the extension cord.

The original iPad Pro helped tablets evolve beyond mere consumption devices, thanks to its desktop-grade A9X processor and powerful Apple Pencil for creative professionals. But not everyone wants a huge 12.9-inch screen .

The iPad Pro - y'know, last year's mammoth, near 13-inch, stylus-sporting mega slate that was part iPad, part laptop, part second TV - has a new little brother. Slick, sleek and super speedy, the iPad Pro 9.7 is where Apple's attempts to "do a Microsoft Surface" and upgrade the iPad Air 2 collide.

Iconic if familiar design; Powerful and versatile with stylus-friendly screen; Great display and speakers for movie-watching

Seriously expensive; Keyboard not as good as the big iPad Pro; iOS / Mac OS hybrid not quite there yet

The same question surrounding the 12.9-inch iPad's release last year, clouds the 9.7-inch iPad: who is it really for? If only the 9.7-inch iPad Pro was capable of dual-booting iOS and OS X, then it would likely be one of the best laptop/tablet hybrid devices available, but unfortunately this is not...

Sleek and small; More manageable than the 12.9-inch iPad; Worthy upgrade over the iPad Air 2

Expensive; Runs iOS; Not a laptop replacement for most

The iPad Pro was something of a revelation when Apple released it last year, successfully proving that tablets could be used for creating, rather than just consuming. With its excellent Pencil, the iPad Pro was more than just a laptop replacement, too, taking over as a way for artists to draw and...

Tablets haven't had a great time lately. In the last two years, sales have plummeted and production has slowed to a crawl. While a lot of that is due to the fact they don't have the manic upgrade calendar of traditional computers or smartphones, it's also because they're really all about consuming...

Like the iPhone SE, which has the body of an iPhone 5s and the mind of an iPhone 6s (more or less), the new 9.7in iPad Pro looks very much like an iPad Air 2. Their dimensions are identical. Their screen sizes are identical.
