Smith Rating: 5.0 out of 5 stars Title: Nice device, if a bit expensive Review: I’m normally a PC guy, but decided I want to do something a bit different for my portable machine, especially after hearing about IOS 26 and how it ‘almost’ works like a desktop.There are still lots of IOS-isms when using it, but for the most part, it’s a capable little machine! I have it connected to a USB hub with HDMI out and pass-through power and it’s working great (a cheap adapter from Wally World). The sound is great, the screen is extremely nice quality, and I love writing on it with the pen. Highly recommended if you want to have a touch device, but also a capable quasi-laptop (when using the Magic Keyboard). Reviewer: EMH Rating: 5.0 out of 5 stars Title: Stunning Review: I replaced a 2024 M2 iPad Air 11″ which is already an impressive device.Did I need to upgrade? Nope. Did I have $1300 (I bought the Smart Folio case from Apple to go with it) laying around…not really (love the Prime card 12 months 0% financing). Do I regret my impulse purchase? I REGRET NOTHING.The dimensions are stunning, especially sans case. This has, almost exactly, the same length and width as the standard 8.5″ x 11″ piece of paper we’re all familiar with. And it’s about as thick as 50 of those pieces of paper. Think about that. It’s a computer and a 13″ screen in a form factor the size of a notebook that weighs about as much as a half liter plastic bottle of water.This is simply an insane piece of technology. I am 53 this year. If you had shown this to me when I was a child, I would have thought this was an alien artifact smuggled out of Area 51. It is that impressive.The screen is the star of the show. It’s just…breathtaking is a stupid thing to say about something like this but it absolutely applies. The contrast, resolution, colors and ‘pro motion’ (120Hz refresh rate) make it the nicest screen in my house. Yes you can get a TV that looks as good as this, but I don’t have one even though I love my Q70 Samsung.The audio that comes out of something this flat is pretty wild too. My primary work station is a 15″ M3 MacBook Air. These speakers are better than that (so is the screen, not close. And yes I know I’m comparing an Air laptop with a Pro iPad but that’s my frame of reference.Holding this in one hand, unsupported, will induce some fatigue relatively quickly. If you’re using two hands, you can tote this thing all day but it becomes somewhat difficult to utilize the touchscreen effectively that way, in my experience.In terms of performance, I don’t do anything on it that taxes it but it feels snappier than the iPad Air it replaced but this could just be the Pro Motion experience. There is a lot of horsepower here and whatever you do on a tablet this thing will laugh at.I would love to have had the money to splurge for the 1TB model with the 16G of RAM (12 in the 256/512 models) and the nanotexture glass (what is this? No idea but I’d like it, I think). For me 256G local storage is more than fine and the $650 difference from here to 1TB, even with the extra features, could in no way be justified on what was already a luxury purchase.Battery life is fantastic. It’s better than my 11″ Air which was already fine. Again my primary ‘work’ station is a MacBook Air so I’m not on this thing 9 hours a day but I could use it 2-3 days without a charge. The charger I use is the 35w dual USB-C that came with the 15″ MacBook Air and it is lightning fast…getting this back to 80% from 50% in less than an hour. Reviewer: Happy Customer Rating: 5.0 out of 5 stars Title: Amazing in all aspects! Review: I love this iPad and waited a long time for it. I wish there was a book on how to use it with all its secrets and shortcuts. Definitely go and get it!!! It is huge (13”). I love it. It is considerably lightweight considering the size. I have really bad internet service but this iPad is fast and working better than I thought. The screen is so sharp and new. I want to get a screen protector to keep it shiny and clear. Considering the price is pretty normal. I have only charged it once and it charged to 100% very quickly. All in all I recommend this amazing iPad with the new. M5 chip. Reviewer: Colinstump Rating: 5.0 out of 5 stars Title: Pricey but amazing Review: It’s definitely pricey but if you are looking to do anything on a professional level or if you are an artist looking to expand your abilities then this tablet is definitely for you!! It is an amazing video editing device too. It’s lightweight and the size of the bigger screen lets you really take in the sharpness of the screen itself. I watched some of “the Vinland saga” on both my tv and my iPad and the colors blew me away on the iPad. It’s also super smooth in terms of frames. I can’t really explain how amazing and satisfying it is on the eye while using this device. If you have the money to spend I highly recommend this product. It does both modern and retro gaming with ease, handles video editing and drawing like a pro (especially with the smart pen you can get) and overall it was a smooth experience and the setup is as simple as any other modern day Apple product.

Coming from an iPad Air 4, which was great at the time, the iPad Pro M5 is so smooth and snappy. It works very well for all of my YouTube watching….lol. I’ve been using it for video editing and CAD design, and it has been great. One thing I love about it is how much it feels like a laptop at times. I purchased an ESR keyboard that is very similar to the Magic Keyboard, as well as an Apple Pencil Pro, and it is a powerful workstation. It’s a bit expensive, but still $100 or so less that purchasing from Apple, and being able to use the 12-month interest-free payments with my Amazon card was very convenient.

Very easy to use, all instructions included. Reviewer: JG Rating: 5.0 out of 5 stars Title: Mostly AWESOME … although more of a gas-hog than it was advertised as Review: Awesome unit – great upgrade form my 10” the screen space is beneficial – but so too is the horse power this puppy has – I haven’t put it fully thought its paces – but day to day work is great.A bit of a gas hog .. as it needs charging as much or more than its smaller brother – which is ehh – but other than that I haven’t fond much fault with this unit. Reviewer: Unspecified Rating: 5.0 out of 5 stars Title: Amazing machine Review: Had a 2020 Ipad Pro which was finally showing its age and decided to snag this beast. Expensive? Yes. But, in my opinion as an artist, worth it. Paired with the pencil pro, this thing provides smooooooth performance. Time will tell if it gets the weird static issue I had with the previous model, but so far so good. Also transferring from my old ipad was soooo easy, it detected it all automatically. I also like this anti glare version a lot as someone that used a TON of screen protectors on my last one. Also the pen does stick slightly if you press hard, but not a lot of pressure is needed if is very sensitive.
