iPad Pro review: Big and powerful, but it won't replace your laptop
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 on the go. The Pro won't replace your computer, but for a certain kind of user, it could be a handy supplement.
Pros
- Well-built
- Robust performance
- Bright, pixel-dense screen
- Lighter than you'd expect
- Smooth, precise pen input
- Surprisingly good audio
- Long battery life
Cons
- Expensive, especially with the accessories sold separately
- Still heavy compared to other tablets
- No mouse support; none of the keyboards have touchpads
- Screen angle isn't adjustable on any of the keyboards
- iOS 9 doesn'tmultitask as wellas desktop operating systems
- Nowhere to store the Pencil
