Verdict

12.9-inch iPad Pro 2 (2017) has best screen and the productivity that we have ever seen on the tablet, but we feel the need for the final version of iOS. 11, before drawing conclusions. Read full Overview Apple iPad Pro 2 12.9 (2017) Next ...

• Excellent performance;
• Long work;
• Surprisingly bright, quick display;
• Improved input Pencil;
• Magnificent sound;
• Sea promises iOS11;

• Smart Keyboard need a touchpad;
• Long battery charging;

Apple tablet claims that the ability to replace the laptop and PCs finally corresponds to the promise. New 12.9-inch iPad Pro (from $ 799 | 48.000 rubles), and with the Smart Keyboard keyboard and at all $ 1067 (64,000 rubles), boasts an incredibly bright Promotion display, as well as the A10X Fusion processor, which is fairly fast to leave Many premium laptops in dust. This is a practically ideal tablet with performance, and the upcoming iOS 11 expands computer capabilities relative to the predecessors. However, there are still reasons for not throwing out your laptop.

Design: Moreover, in good sense

The massive stove of treated aluminum and glass, 12.9-inch iPad Pro is not inferior to the attractiveness last year's models. You will notice only two small changes in the design of the 2017 model: the panel at the top of the body is no longer black, but under rear camera A flash appeared.

12.9-inch iPad Pro 2 weighs 680 grams with a thickness of 5.8 mm, which makes it heavier iPad Pro 10.5 (453 grams, 6.1 mm) and lighter and thinner than Microsoft Surface. Pro (770 grams, 8.4 mm).

As a laptop with an accompanying Smart Keyboard keyboard (10,000 rubles), 12.9-inch iPad Pro (2017) weighs 1.04 kg with a thickness of 14 mm. This is already similar to Microsoft Surface Pro (1.08 kg / 13.7 mm with Type Cover) and heavier than 12-inch MacBook (0.9 kg / 13.7 mm) and 10.5-inch iPad Pro with its Smart Keyboard (725 grams / 14.2 mm).

And while it cannot match the laptop in the port set, the iPad Pro connection is rather standard for the tablet. This 12.9-inch tablet is equipped with headphone jack on top, branded Smart Connector from Apple on the left and the Lightning connector below.

Display.Promotion: Well, wow!

Bright colors, smooth scroll and amazing brightness of the iPad Pro screen, make it probably the best panel that we have ever seen on mobile devices to this day. First, high-resolution video looks simply stunning, with ink black and accurate bright colors.

Its Super Hi-RES Display with a resolution of 2732 x 2048 pixels is incredibly good. For watching "Tears of Steel" in 4k on the tablet, we were able to disassemble tiny details, including hairs on the fur collar and a small font on a confused newspaper.

Apple's new technology from Apple becomes cherry on the cake, it uses a 120 hertz update frequency so that you can use the smooth scrolling, seriously, nothing like other mobile devices. After the web pages and applications moved so smoothly, we never dare to buy another tablet while his panel can provide the same speed.

According to our colorimeter, the iPad Pro can reproduce 122 percent of the SRGB spectrum, which is comparable to the readings of 10.5-inch iPad Pro (122%). This is greater than an average of 110 percent and 117 percent of MacBook, but less than 140 percent of the last Surface Pro.

Apple iPad Pro 12.9 (2017) reproduces the colors very accurately by typing 0.2 points on Delta-E test (0 - the best result). It is comparable from 0.2 points MacBook and iPad Pro 10.5, as well as better than 0.5 points Surface Pro.

This iPad Pro has one of the most bright screensWe have ever seen on a tablet or laptop, radiation is 555 yarns. This is superior to 422 medium rates for tablets, as well as 477 NIT 10.5-inch iPad Pro, 396 NIT SURFACE PRO and 340 MacBook Nut. Since the display is so bright, and its surface is not too reflexive, the image remains different with a slope of 75 degrees in each direction.

Smart.Keyboard: A little lack ...

If you want to use the iPad Pro as a laptop replacement, you first have to get used to its keyboard. Most habits require small keys that have only 0.5 millimeters (the third part of the minimum on which we usually calculate - 1.5 mm). At the same time, 78 grams of pressure will be required to act (at least 60 grams it is necessary), which helps compensate for a short move. Thus, you should rethink the familiar set, since you need to press softer so that the keyboard base prevenches the fingers.

Our favorite part of the Smart Keyboard is that when the keyboard is fixed on the iPad Pro, the tablet felt perfectly on his knees, the weak point of most of the hybrids that we used. The tablet achieves this, positioning the weight in the center (and not behind the keyboard), with the help of a folding cover (and not stand) and sufficient width to completely cover the knees. All these factors greatly facilitate the use of iPad Pro on the knees when you need to make notes in the field.

The biggest problem Smart Keyboard is that the keyboard has no touchpad. Given that IOS does not allow the use of the cursor, it is not the biggest surprise, but it seems not too convenient need to constantly reach the screen. If iOS 11 can borrow dock from MacOS, why can't she steal and cursor?

Finally, lovers chew may have to treat Smart Keyboard with caution. The tissue keyboard covering easily adopts the stains from Mozarella's crumbs, accompanying my snacks. I had to work hard to withdraw them from the keyboard.

ApplePencil: Better than ever!

Although hardware The Stylus Pencil (6,000 rubles) has not changed, Apple has done some work in this direction. Thanks to the Promotion iPad Pro display, the letter seems more realistic than ever, since the company reduces the waiting time from 40 milliseconds to 20 ms, a little advanced delay in 21 ms, declared Surface Pen (although we doubt that someone will notice the difference between These two).

Much best impressions remained from Pencil in applications, such as Notes, affinity photo and Adobe Photoshop. Sketch, where drawing a pen (like a finger) led to a practically instant answer. Not all programs seem to be optimized for newest technologyAs we noticed during the review lag in the Paper Sketching application.

Sound: Yes, this power will come with you!

Four loud speakers iPad Pro (one in each corner) supply excellent sound. How big? At work, the tablet generated enough sound to fill out our office, and the tablet was able to dry the noisy movement, which seeps through the bedrooms. The sound is simply great: from pure sound of piano and clear drums to wonderful vocals and ferocious guitar reefs.

Performance: more, courageous, more powerful ...

Processor A10X FUSION and 4 GB random access memory Ipad Pro 12.9 make it so fast that full-featured laptops blush from shame. When we opened in Safari 13 tabs, along with YouTube, which reproduced a video with a resolution of 1080, the machine remained responsive, even when we opened the image editor Affinity Photo.

The 12.9-inch iPad Pro (2017) is the fastest Apple tablet today, published a phenomenal result on Geekbench tests 4 (9414). It is much more than 12-inch MacBook - 6853 ( Intel Core M3-6Y30, 8 GB of RAM), Surface Pro - 8652 (Intel Core i7-7660u, 8 GB of RAM) and middle score on tablets in 6066 points. 10.5-inch iPad Pro, which is also equipped with A10X chip and 4 GB of RAM, showed 9233.

The A10X Fusion chip in the iPad Pro makes it the most powerful device based on iOS in terms of graphics. The tablet scored 54198 points on 3DMark Ice Storm Unlimited, which is above 5,2353 points iPad Pro 10.5 (which also uses A10X) and the average of 21520 points. Surface Pro has shown the best score (109.678), thanks to the quick chart of Intel Iris Plus 640.

Time autonomous work: Good, but not the best

You can leave the charger at home. The 12.9-inch iPad Pro lasted fantastic 12 hours and 9 minutes on the test, which is higher than the average at 8:51, as well as battery life MacBook (9:29) and Surface Pro (7:30). 10.5-inch iPad Pro published best time Works (13:55) maybe because it has a smaller screen.

In order to increase the battery life, it takes time and effort, as I noticed that 4 hours of charging (after a complete empty of the battery) returned only 40 percent of its charging.

Camera: Large viewfinder

The massive 12.9-inch iPad Pro 2 feels uncomfortable in shooting, but its excellent photos and videos will not disappoint you. Its 12 megapixel main chamber (the same as on iPhone 7) takes bright photos, high quality capturing purple colors And the green fern, as well as a juicy pink tone of the watermelon on the side of the truck. The camera reproduced the part as well, including textures and seeds of these fruits, as well as veins of petals.

This iPad Pro has not flashed in the video office, since he recorded video 4K at a speed of 30 frames per second, and 1080p video at a speed of 60 frames per second. If your hands are not super-stationary, you can use 1080P / 60 frame settings per second, which we found the most successful.

Independent photo Facetime HD on 7 megapixel sensor is no worse. The skin tone and the color of the shirt looked correct on trial photos of our iPad Pro 2 12.9. In the photo you can easily disassemble individual hairs that can remind you that it's time to shave.

iOS 11: Multitasking Dream

the iPad Pro comes with iOS 10, along with improved photos, music, cards and messages, but the previously loaded operating system seems to be a failure in comparison with what looms on the horizon.

iOS 11, which arrived in the fall of this year, hopes to make the iPad Pro more like a laptop, including several tricks of multitasking and interface settings. In particular, the update includes drag and drop functions, the files application and docking station.

We have installed the public beta version of iOS 11 on the iPad Pro, and our favorite function is Work Spaces (workspace), which supports the sharing of applications after placing them in the separation format.

Thus, we do not need to re-connect applications that are always used in tandem.

In addition, the ability to pull the third application in "slipping" mode helps quickly check email or news, as well as save work on the main screen.

Just know that iOS 11 changes the approach to multitasking in the separate screen mode, moving from scrolling on the right side of the screen before dragging applications from the docking station.

Configuration and Accessories

Each 12.9-inch iPad Pro, including a model from our review with 512 GB of memory, comes with the same A10X FUSION processor and 4 GB of RAM. Model initial level It comes in 799 dollars (48,000 rubles) with 64 GB of internal memory, the average range of the model costs $ 899 / 54.000 rubles - 256 GB. Connecting a mobile sensor will cost you an additional $ 130 / 8.000 rubles.

You will need to spend more money to purchase a tablet accessories, including SMART Keyboard (10,000 rubles) and Apple Pencil. (6,000 rubles), which will lead to a starting price of $ 1067 / 64.000 rubles.

Summing up ...

Apple iPad Pro 12.9 (2017) reveals the potential of a large building, offering really the best, just a stunning display, fantastic performance and powerful sound. And as soon as iOS 11 is released, the tablet will become much more practical as a laptop replacement. Unfortunately, it faces two small obstacles: no touchpad and total price tag.

If you want to get more complete operating systemYou can get a 12-inch MacBook, but it will not live for a long time, and also costs significantly more than a tablet with Apple Pencil and Smart Keyboard. You can avoid some changes and stay in the world of Windows with the new Surface Pro, Type Cover and Surface Pen, in the basic model, this combination will cost you $ 1059 (64.000 rubles), but this machine is equipped with Intel Core M3, which is less significant in comparison . The model we was tested, cost $ 2459 (148.000 rubles) with keyboard and stylus.

Excellent!

The 12.9-inch iPad Pro 2 (2017) has the best screen and the performance that we have ever seen on the tablet, but we are able to in the final version of iOS 11 before drawing conclusions.

Super big tablet Apple is ready for multitasking.

Verdict: iPad Pro 12.9 is a tablet equivalent of a gaming laptop. It is incredibly powerful, undoubtedly, fast and visual pleasure every time you turn on a noticeably improved screen. It is extremely comfortable to carry with him every day, but the tablet is significantly more expensive than the iPad Pro 10.5 with the same characteristics.

Inside this new iPad Pro 12.9 (2017) and smaller, simultaneously running fast A10X chips, which was upgraded with Apple enough to match the performance of most laptops. It's 6th nuclear cPU and 12-nuclear graphic processorWhat promises you no problem in multitasking conditions after upgrading to iOS 11., keyboard and 12.9-inch screen, along with 10 hours of autonomous operation and functions fast chargingSupplement the powerful Apple mobile package.

Of course, a large, rich in the colors screen and reference performance comes at the corresponding price. The new iPad Pro 12.9 (2017) is incredibly expensive, it is more expensive than any other iPad - it is almost two and a half times more expensive than the initial level that we really liked. It is also worth considering the additional purchase of Apple Pencil and Smart Keyboard Cover.

Everything else in the new iPad Pro feels great, even if at first glance it seems that Apple has made not many changes, any doubt disquires the first practical experience with the tablet. Its performance is a monstrous, and shop App Store. It remains the best reason for choosing a tablet based on iOS against Android. It is just the best ecosystem for tablet.

Price and release date

The second generation of iPad Pro 12.9 was published on June 13, 2017 as the most expensive iPad, worth $ 799 (48,000 rubles) for a model by 64 GB. The price is steadily growing to $ 949 (57.000 rubles) for a model for 256 GB of memory and $ 1149 (69,000 rubles) for the largest model at 512 GB.

Apple doubled the memory configuration relative to the first generation iPad. 12.9 (2017) without an additional markdown, but you will still pay for the additional and necessary accessories: Apple Pencil costs $ 99 (6,000 rubles), and the 12.9-inch keypad-cover Smart Keyaboard, which we recommend for full-fledged performance You will cost you another $ 169 (10,000 rubles). At the same time, the iPad Pro 12.9 (2017) Wi-Fi + Cellular will cost you even more, the base model begins with $ 1079 (65.000 rubles).

The tablet is still cheaper than MacBook, but not much. MacBook Air.which is still for sale, begins with 60.000 rubles. You will not get a wonderful Retina display, a smooth tablet form factor or Apple compatibility Pencil iPad. Pro. However, the laptop works on MacOS High Sierra and is equipped with a keyboard, you can easily install a laptop on your knees - if you do not mind configuration and design. The future of Apple, however, belongs to the iPad.

Display

A new iPad screen with a diagonal of 12.9 inches is an extremely large panel for the iPad, which sometimes seems ridiculous, but you can still pamper yourself. And be sure to beat yourself with bright, alive multimedia with stunning colors in comparison with any previous iPad, even if you do not notice the difference until you look at both tablets side by side to say: "He is really good."

—
Yes, in characteristics it has the previous resolution of 2732 x 2048 pixels as iPad Pro, which we tested two years ago. But you will see how smoothly everything moves, how colorfully it looks like and how much brighter the image, who will count pixels?

This is what is important: the new iPad Pro 12.9 (2017) is noticeably more responsive, regardless of whether you quickly go through the multitasking menu of iOS 11 or draw with using apple Pencil. The screen demonstrates a smaller delay due to the fact that Apple calls the Promotion technology, which offers an increase in frame frequency to 120 Hz. The trick is that the screens update frequencies remain variables to match the content, automatically adjusting to save battery life. The tablet does not show the lack of performance under load and reasonably slows down when the power is not needed.

If you look closely at the iPad Pro 12.9 (2017), as well as the first generation version, you will notice other differences, among which the extended color gamut and the fully laminated screen (the first model did not have this function). You also get the Debut Display of Apple True Tone 12,9-inch Size, which is adjusted to the surrounding lighting.

Design

A 12.9-inch screen capable of competing with a laptop diagonal is the main reason for the purchase of such a large iPad Pro against 10.5 inches. This is a suitable solution for multitasking, as you can see "the whole picture" on this tablet.

Multitasking between documents, spreadsheets and email On iPad Pro 12.9 (2017) leads to a simple understanding of information before you, reducing the need to scroll through the image, as on other tablets that you used before. "Wait, I immediately see all the cells of this table?" - Great feeling. As well as new screen iPhone X - You see a real jump in size, if the scrolling of documents has become your headache, you will never experience this feeling with a big iPad.

When it comes to performing significant tasks, the tablet wins from a large area of \u200b\u200bthe screen. It's really cool. The tablet is portable, of course, but we would call it the equivalent of the game laptop in the world of tablets. Permanent use of iPad Pro 12.9 (2017) outside the house and office can sometimes show their inconvenience.

The tablet has a thickness of 6.9 mm with a weight of 677 grams, so it is thin and light. But we found that when using Smart Keyboard Cover, turn the keyboard is not as easy as with a 10.5-inch iPad Pro, as well as a smaller keyboard - there is an additional folding flap for the folding part of the keyboard of this size. And there is no place for Apple Pencil, so you have to keep track of the stylus - remember, he is very expensive.

Large size is wonderful, but iPad Pro 12.9 (2017) is barely included in the bag. You can forget about putting the tablet in a compact travel bag.

I had to do too many folding pieces of the cover to fit the large keyboard housing. The following iPad Pro 12.9 must replay the size of accessories.

You can buy official leather Case For iPad Pro, in which there will be a Pencil slot, but with an enlarged iPad and Apple Pencil width, the tablet becomes too large against many compact laptops (but our 13-inch MacBook Pro. enters the same bag). This is not the most portable tablet. Worse, fitting iPad Pro and Smart Keyboard in this leather case, too dense. You will need both hands and some efforts to get a tablet from the case. iPad is mobile device, Therefore, its dimensions are discouraged. You just can not get all the benefits of the tablet with such sizes.

What could use iPad Pro 12.9 (2017) is the abbreviated framework of iPad Pro 10.5 (2017). New rumors about iPad Pro 2018 indicate the design of the tablet in the iPhone X style - without the "Home" button to zoom in the area of \u200b\u200bthe screen. We're for it such a solutionBut, probably, within a few months, we will note any movements towards this idea. And if this happens, we hope that we will see more colors, in addition to gray, silver and gold - rose gold remained exclusive for 10.5-inch diagonal.

ApplePencil.

Apple Pencil has been improved without fundamental changes. But now you have more reasons for buying a stylus than from the first iPad model Pro in 2015.

New applications support Apple Stylus with bluetooth supportAnd you probably get a little more than expected. Popular photos for photos and messaging, such as Snapchat, Instagram and Facebook Messenger, offer you to marry images and work as stylus, iOS 11 recently provided us with quick markup functions immediately after you make a screenshot.

Apple Pencil's basic applications have seen a significant difference in iOS 11. Instant Markup allows you to work with PDF files and photos without opening a series of individual applications for nested menus (as it was before), and Instant Notes allows you to quickly write your thoughts with Double click on the lock screen - you do not need to spend time with the fingerprint scanner or other access. We also like how your text is deftically converted into a drawing. Everything is much better thought out in iOS 11.

—
Attention also deserves the fact that Apple Pencil now offers a delay reduction due to the new Promotion touchscreen on iPad Pro 12.9 (2017). The delay is only 20 milliseconds, although this is inferior to Microsoft Surface Pro 2017 and Surface Pen, the delay between which is equal to 1 ms.

Another insignificant difference, which, like the flupent smoothness of the screen with an increase in the color spectrum, can usually not notice the average user, but you will feel that it has become better.

We have experienced problems related to the use of old versions of Apple Pencil with a new iPad Pro 12.9, although they were compatible. Studying this problem, we found other users on online forums faced a problem bluetooth pairingwho ended up the way out of Apple Pencil. The reports also indicated that Apple replaced the stylus, even if it was not warranty. Conjugation of the new Apple Pencil with iPad Pro 12.9 (2017) worked fine.

iOS 11 and applications

Apple makes significant changes for tablets in software updates every two years, it was with iOS 9, and now with iOS 11, which offers a number of new features. In addition to Instant Markup and Instant Notes, IOS 11 recycles the application panel, offers a new multitasking mechanics and an updated control center.

The new application panel allows you to reserve a string for your favorite applications at the bottom of the home screen, as usual - up to 15 applications on iPad Pro 12.9 (2017). The new thing is the fact that you can pull the hidden application panel from any application, so you do not need to return to home screenTo quickly switch between applications. The solution is very like on the MacOS application panel or the system of three Windows 10.

Much more multitasking tricks enter the game when you drag the "daddy" application on the screen. The solution will open the second application in the pop-up window, which will soar above the current open application. You can use both applications or install a floating application in the right or left part of the main application. Full multitasking side by side comes in Split View mode, which remains exclusive for iPad Pro, iPad 9.7, iPad Air 2 and iPad mini 4. In this mode, it is much easier to work with two applications at the same time. You can also add another steaming window for the third application, although it is a bit too much for a large 12.9-inch screen.

The control center is significantly different from the old on the iPad with update iOS. 11. It still remains below (you need to drag up further than when you run the application panel with the same gesture), but the quick settings are now comfortably aligned on the right edge, and on the left side you see the multitasking grid. All you want to see on a huge touch screen is at hand and, although it takes time to get used to these fundamental changes to the Control Center, the solution is easier than to deal with these control elements, broken into three menus and the expanded multitasking screen.

In the final update, iOS 11 appeared option for iPad, which deserves special attention - this is an improved screen keyboard. We still prefer on screen keyboard Physical Smart Keyboard. But now you can faster than before, dial virtual keyboard in tablet mode, thanks to the ability to scroll forward to access to additional keyslike numbers and symbols. This solution is much faster than switching between two keyboard layers.

IOS 11 software package gets a sea of \u200b\u200binteresting changes, including new system cloud storagewhich we found comfortable during the review iPad Pro 12.9 (2017), but are not ready to entrust her all our files (this will take time). You can store messages in ICloud for storing and better text synchronization (debut took place in beta version iOS 11.3), Apple Pay. Cash for first rank payments updated app Store and Siri, which began to sound more humane, and also forms reasonable answers.

iPad Pro 12.9 (2017) has become big as a computer, and thanks to iOS 11, it looks like it even more. This is seen from the new features of the application panel and multitasking. You will still be able to work faster with even more dynamic windows, as well as with the mouse or touchpad, but it is significantly better than when the iPad Pro first rose to the stage, trying to declare himself as a computer.

Characteristics and performance

Apple continues to sell the iPad Pro as a more powerful car than most laptops, and testing the tablet, we believe that it is like the truth, both in synthetic and in real operating conditions. A significant part of the performance, of course, comes from the Apple solution to squeeze a 6-nuclear central and 12-core graphics processor in a 64-bit A10X Fusion chipset. Functionality iPad Pro is also confirmed by the presence of a 512 GB of memory tablet, the highest capacity among IOS devices.

A10X Fusion is a popular version of the chipset found in the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, its performance was enough to work with photos for review, formation of spreadsheets, as well as for the world's coolest game: Fruit Ninja. However, we did not notice a significant drop in productivity on old iPad Pro 12.9 and iPad Pro 9.7, even though they lacked Promotion technology.

Lab tests returned a multi-core result in 9343 points, corresponding to many laptops that we test. The price of Apple tablet seems high until you understand that the initial computing power of new iPad tablets Pro (2017) corresponds to computer performance.

Camera

If you do not want to look ridiculous in 2018, one thing you should not do is photograph and shoot a video with a giant iPad, but since you probably refused other purchases for this tablet, we will tell you about the camera new pro. 12.9 (2017).

The tablet uses the same main chamber with a diaphragm 12 and aperture F / 1.8, as well as the frontal chamber FaceTime F / 2.2, as on the iPhone 7. Photos look as good as on the iPhone, while the big 12.9- The inch display is much more efficient as a viewfinder and becomes an ideal way to edit photos in Adobe Lightroom.

You can shoot videos with a resolution of 4K to the main chamber and 1080r per front chamber. However, despite the fact that it is an iPad Pro "with a plus", it did not receive optical image stabilization, as well as double chamber You will not find on the iPad.

We found that the camera is useful more for the shooting of reference photos, it will not be easy to use such a bullfin (by the way, by the way, the new portrait mode with the iPhone is not available on the iPad). iOS 11, among other things, includes an otnable document scanner that automatically scans and configures paper documents as if they just passed through an office scanner. You can then label documents using Apple Pencil - this is a couple of unnecessary performance lessons, these types of functions that make the use of the tablet are really useful.

Battery life

iPad Pro 12.9 is designed for 10 hours of autonomous operation due to battery capacity at 10.875 mAh, and this is exactly what you get in everyday use. In fact, we could broadcast (with medium brightness + Wi-Fi) a whole television series (10 episodes of 45 minutes each), without overpanding the threshold of 75% of the battery. We decided not to close the rest of the battery the second season.

Our synthetic tests confirmed these readings, even when we unscrew the screen brightness into full 600 yarns: viewing a 90-minute looped HD video with full brightness, forced the battery to give up only 21%. Ipad Pro 12.9 (2017) held longer than our MacBook and MacBook Pro, although our tasks were not so intense on the iPad, which should be considered.

One of the best functions of the iPad Pro 12.9 of a two-year old ago returned: the ability to quickly charge using a USB-Lightning cable and charger USB-C. Even better: if you buy uSB-C adapter from Apple on 29 W, and you can also use the charger uSB-C device MacBook Pro with USB-C Cable Adapter on Lightning. The use of the same charger for a laptop MacBook Pro and iPad Pro is a script from our dreams.

Summing up

ipad Pro 12.9 is a tablet equivalent of a gaming laptop. It is incredibly powerful, no doubt, a quick device promising visual pleasure every time you light up the screen. The tablet is too much to wear it with you, damn road, as well as a game laptop, but it can replace your regular computer if it is not quite new.

This is a suitable computer for most people we know, and we can say that this is due to iOS 11. iPad Pro 12.9 with updating iOS 11 combines the multitasking of the new level, as well as the performance of Apple Pencil and promisingly huge touchscreen, among those that we have ever been tested. This is enough so you can draw diagrams in applications like Notes or Paper.

What you do not like is the price of iPad Pro 12.9 (2017). New tablet starts with $ 799, you really need to keep in mind that this is a good price for his computing powercapable of fit most of the laptops of our tests, and some even exceeds, including. But this is not enough for most people, as they can assemble a comparatable PC considerable cheaper, if the case is in money. And if it's not about money, the user can buy a laptop without restrictions in performance.

The purchase decision is reduced to three important issues. Can you afford iPad, which costs almost as much as MacBook AIR entry level? Are you going to use Apple Pencil and multitasking software that makes this iPad so different from iPad 9.7? Can you easily carry this giant tablet with you? Yes, yes and yes? Then it is a luxurious gadget with big screenwhich is perfect for multimedia and productive tasks in a thin and light format if you can live within iOS 11.

For whomiPad.Pro 12.9 (2017)?

Interestingly, Apple's biggest tablet for experienced users is an expensive device, but this is not a completely laptop. Thus, you must take care of performance and efficiency, because if you do not use Pro 12.9 (2017) fully, it is easier to add a little and buy a MacBook. Choice I. buying iPad. Pro 12.9 can be complex in comparison with a much more compact iPad Pro 10.5.

And there are some exclusive functions iPad. Pro that you do not get with a laptop: incredibly accurate Apple Pencil, fantastically fast and bright Retina display, which you can not get from the initial level of MacBook Air (Premium apple screen It becomes affordable in expensive 12-inch laptop models) and attractive, thin and light design.
