Apple iPad Pro 12.9-inch (2021) review
Test scoreShow Context
- 12.9 inches
Apple’s biggest and most advanced iPad (released in 2021) yet should be the crème-de-la-crème of tablets. With the M1 processor capable of loading just about anything in the blink of an eye and a supposedly stunning liquid retina XDR display, it’s a versatile tool that has something for everyone. It’s costly though, as tablets the size of the 12.9-inch iPad Pro don’t come cheap. So has Apple done enough to justify that high price? Here's our review.
What's included:- Pros and cons
- What is it?
- How fast it is?
- What’s it like to use?
