I loved this device. As a student and online tutor, taking virtual notes is a necessity. I knew I wanted an iPad + an Apple Pencil, but I wasn’t sure if I wanted to buy the Pro or just stick to your run of the mill iPad. I decided I would invest the money in an overall nicer product with the hopes that it would last me longer. AND IM SO GLAD I DID!

As someone who has owned a regular iPad in the past, I cannot stress just how much better the Pro is. It functions better, has a more advanced UI, and records surprisingly high quality videos. Not to mention it’s fast! My iPad can edit and render 4K footage better than my MacBook can (granted, my MacBook isn’t exactly the newest model).

And the Apple Pencil experience is astronomically better on the Pro. The fact that the Pencil charges magnetically pretty much guarantees my Pencil is never dead when I want to use it (and I use it at least once everyday). Also, the magnetic charging feature has the added benefit of ensuring I won’t loose the damn thing! it’s always there, attached to my iPad and ready to go whenever I need it. However, I could care less about the “reduced lag” drawing feature. You’re really only going to care about that if you’re an artist.

CAVEAT:

Please note that I’m not an Apple nut who buys Apple products for the sake of buying Apple products. For instance, I STILL haven’t purchased AirPods and probably never will. I’m not easily enamored by “sleek” features like the Touch Bar that are pretty cool but totally not worth the surcharge. As someone who uses the Apple Pencil every single day, I can assure you that this experience is far better than the experience you will get by using the older generation Apple Pencil and regular iPad. However, I don’t think the upgrade is worth it if you think you would only use your pencil every once in a while.

Battery life note- my battery is fine for the most part, but the device takes a VERY long time to charge. Longer than my MacBook. Keep this in mind.

I’ve been without an iPad for over a year and got the itch to have one again for it’s portability and power. I’ve been using it for a few days now and I love it. I had an iPad 3, my wife has an Air 2 and this 11” Pro is my favorite of them all. SURPRISE! With it’s variable refresh rate (up to 120hz) it is noticeably smoother to scroll than the new iPad Air 3. You may not notice it if you don’t use them side by side or one right after the other. I spent about a half hour going back and forth between the Air 3 and the 11” Pro. The Air 3 is great, no question. The Pro just felt and performed that tiny bit nicer and smoother along with the extra screen real estate. Also, as fast and capable as the Air 3 is, it still looks like “the old iPad” compared to the new Pros. My Pro is everything I expected. Very fast, very capable, a pleasure to hold and to use. I only wish I coulda sprung for the 1TB version for the extra storage but also the 2GB of RAM the 1TB versions have. Oh well. I’m plenty happy with my Pro. The Apple Pencil should really be included in the box for the price though. Speaking of the pencil, yeah, I got one of those too and I can’t believe how well it works. There is just about no latency at all when using it. You can really lay down some beautiful sketches if you’ve got any artistic talent in your bones. Also, it should come with a 30W charger, not the B.S. 15W unit it ships with. C’mon Apple. Enough is enough already with bleeding your customers out.

I have an iPad 2 and I liked it. This Christmas the hubby surprised me with this one. I am not a great user or have a lot of knowledge about apple products but so far, I really really love this tablet. I like the screen stretching to the ends and giving a bigger screen without the bigger tablet footprint. I have used it for art with the artist brush stylus and it is so amazing. I can create wherever I am. It is great to play music, gets super loud.. Overall I am really impressed. I would recommend to anyone and I think I am a customer for life with the iPad. I usually get Samsung so I have many of their tablets, I do like Samsung and would recommend them as well, but for the art aspect I love the iPad. It is different going from android to iPad. A slight learning curve to get used the new interface and how things work. I really like the swipe fling maneuver to close apps. It is way better than the home button. Oh and for those that like to color with adult coloring books. .. I love the app sketches, pictured above. It allows you to color but allows you to make variations within the color block so shading is an option for each one. if you touch inside a block and then drag without picking up you can color the whole color block in without going outside the lines. But with the different tools, It allows it to be translucent so every stoke gets darker and darker. I also love the smudge tool. I haven't branched out to see what all it does so far. But with what I have seen, I am impressed..

Few days ago, a friend of mine at Penn told me she want to find a gadget which can help her with daily trading in the go, stay long time, work super fast and as secure as possible since we must realize all procedures were correct in trading. Then, I suggested her this device and directly bring to her( as a marketing guy , I would have to recommend certain software before I handle it to her)

Now, it has been two days since she got it. She complain about the battery life, it cannot hold up to a trade day, from 10 to 5. You would need a portable charger or a rapid type c charger to make sure it would works fine. And the performance is amazing, it is an enjoyment to view all data, stat on this glorious display. NetDania, Bloomberg professional and so forth. She is satisfied with all other features, lightweight, good color, amazing craftsmanship and apple logo. Apple logo is a thing that many cannot resisted to even Wharton guys claim they were so reasonable. Lol.... Well, frankly saying, if you were a Proers, you should consider it but I would more recommend the iPad air since it would be cheaper and last longer, A12 would be enough to use. Plus cellaur edition would be a better fit. K never regret my purchase to my LTE edition iPad mini since it helped me to earn big bucks since June.

All in all, you will not regret this purchase even if the A13X would roll out soon. Time is money, time is life, you should get start your amazing life now

Get it.

The last iPad I owned was a iPad Mini 1st Gen and it was sufficient. The upgrade to the Pro is AWESOME!! I've always played around with the iPads but never felt a need for one until the iPad Pro.

First thing is the screen is gorgeous! The 120 hz is buttery smooth and the colors and brightness all pop. The screen real estate is great too. I figured the bigger one would be too big for and I'm glad I stuck with the 11 inch model. At first I bought the 11 inch LTE version and like everyone said, there is a slight bend to it. Its because the antenna line needs a break and that's where the bend is. So I returned it and instead just got the Wifi version. I figured I can just hotspot my cellphone and save 400 bucks, which was worth it. I don't see a need for Cellular version when you can just hotspot your phone anyway.

Performance wise this iPad is killer. I mainly bought this to try my hand at video editing and it's been great. Very easy and fast compared to the desktop. Also it's whisper quiet while I edit 4K footage. On my powerful desktop the fans sound like jet engines! Overall I'm glad I got this iPad. With the specs I can see it lasting several generations before needing another upgrade.

I'm hoping they bridge the iOS and MacOS so the iPad can be a true contender to the Surface Pro.

The best laptop alternative, put the keyboard of your preference (I loooove it with apple’s Smart Keyboard) and Apple Pencil 2 and you can do pretty much anything with iPadOS, very powerful hardware with an improved software that is just getting better and better. Great for drawing and photo editing. Lightweight and saves so much space if you use it alone. May not be a “laptop replacement” but that’s just fine, every product has it purpose, if you have a Mac or MacBook use it along with this iPad, perfect productivity combo, you can display macOS on your iPad if connected with you Mac. Personally it replaced my Windows PC and laptop, I have loved the switch by just using iPad for EVRYTHING this last 6 months but probably I’m getting the new MacBook Pro or the new Mac of 2020 that will be released maybe on March, because there are some traditional pc stuff that i would like to have, also could be awesome working with both devices. If you would like to try it JUST using iPad I totally recommend it, the switch can be hard for some people, for me was very fast, I didn’t adapt to the device, the device adapted to me.

Truthfully I wasn't sure about this machine when I first bought it. As an owner of an old sixth-gen iPad, I'd often found that device to be lacking in things I thought I could use it for - so, when all the artists I knew started raving about the iPad Pro as the best tool available for illustration, I had my share of questions even once I'd decided to take the plunge.

Now, I've been making digital art since 1999, when I first discovered how to pixel with a ball mouse and the help of MS Paint. It took a few years for me to learn about the joys of digital tablets, but when I did, I used everything I could get my hands on, from the Intuos and Bamboo lines of Wacom products to the Deco line of XP-Pens to a venerable 2-in-1 laptop that probably served me for more sketches than anything else to date. Out of all of them, until this year, by far the best of the lot had been the Cintiq 13HD I saved up for in 2015. Its minimal parallax, general responsiveness, and reliable drivers made it the easiest to draw with, the easiest to get good results with, and far and away the most comfortable for large projects.

So when this iPad blew it out of the water, I was a bit surprised.

Just to be clear: my main computer for graphic design is not a slouch in any department. It's running an RTX 2060 GPU, 16 GB of RAM, and a 9th gen i7 processor. Not quite the best there is, but nothing to sneeze at, either. So when I say that this iPad can draw faster with larger brushes on larger canvases, save bigger projects in less time, and can handle more complex brush mechanics with less lag than I have ever experienced on a desktop device, those are not empty words.

I have only one usability complaint - the texture of the screen. And that's a matter of personal preference, ingrained in me over years of using paper-textured drawing tablets. Despite this minor gripe, I am frequently finding that I can get more done in less time with the iPad than I can with my desktop PC, solely because of the lack of brush lag. Whether this is because mobile art programs are more efficient in how they handle their brush engines, I can't say, but there is a marked difference in performance when I transfer my project files over for their final spit and polish.

In fact that is the main concern I have with the iPad at this stage: it is best used for on-the-go work, rather than for cleanup and polishing. But that's not even a real complaint at this point, because that's a real need in an artist's workflow - the need to get ideas down in a hurry. And it's entirely possible that the techniques that go into that polishing process are simply ones I haven't yet wrapped my head around in the iPad environment.

From a productivity standpoint, it's every bit as capable as most laptops with the proper apps installed (provided you have a keyboard), and now that iPad OS has been released, it's capable of interacting with external storage with no problems whatsoever. You can draw. You can animate. You can take notes. You can write novels. You can record videos. Heck, you can write music! The biggest limitation is on multitasking - which, for my purposes at least, is not so much a limitation as a means of avoiding the demon Procrastination.

I've gotten more done with this thing since I bought it than I have with my desktop computer in the same amount of time, simply because it's the tool I most often have on hand. While the form factor and operating environment might take some getting used to at first, I cannot recommend the iPad Pro highly enough for anyone who needs to make things on the go.

A really good case! Super light and easy to use

It would have been a 1 star but it is a 5 star review now.

Reasons

Amazon customer service - good.

Amazon product support - excellent.

Apple customer service - exceptional.

Ipad arrived 1 day early. Brand new sealed product. Easy to set up. Its an Ipad, runs smoothly and the screen is amazing.

After completing setup I noticed that the Apple warranty on the product shows less than 28 days. I tried verifying with apple website with the serial number, nothing showed except the the device is an Ipad. Concerned I called Amazon. Amazon confirmed that the product is genuine and brand new. Amazon will provide full 1 year warranty or the option to return it. Just to be on the safe side I called Apple support. They asked me to send them the invoice showing the purchase from Amazon. Once they verified the purchase, they confirmed they will contact Amazon and verify the IPad’s genuineness. Few hours later I’ve got an email from Apple saying I now have full 1 year warranty. Now I have full product support from both Apple and Amazon.

Tip : verify with apple and purchase from Amazon directly. ;)

Perfect iPad - just note the charger plug is British but works perfectly in UAE with right adapter.

Came in much earlier than expected, and was exactly what I wanted.

Everything is fine, new , perfect iPad, good price and fast delivery.

Muy buena iPad, la atención del vendedor de lo mejor, rápida comunicación.
