hey guys this is Austin is the iPad pro worth it with a larger screen and shiny pro badge the new iPad is a departure from previous iPads slide open the blocks and you'll find the iPad pro itself lift it out of the way and underneath of your accessories you'll find a 2 meter lightning cable for charging and syncing a 12 watt USB power adapter and paperwork with Apple stickers tucked inside unwrap the probe and you'll see it's big it's even a fair bit larger than the 12 inch macbook the design is similar to the smaller ipads with a lightning port along with a pair of speakers on bottom another pair of speakers on top along with the headphone jack volume buttons rear camera and sleeve button and three small connectors along the left side for accessories like the smart Keyboard it's one thing to see it in pictures and video but it's another thing to actually try it the iPad pro is huge that's not necessarily a bad thing having extra screen real estate can be nice but at the end of the day it's a big iPad it is then in Lightford size and while you'll probably want to use two hands with it it's comfortable to hold and use well the twelve point nine inch display the screen looks fantastic I can easily see watching an entire movie on this especially with the solid speakers on all four corners it's rocking a resolution of 2732 by 2048 which is enough to run two iPad apps side-by-side on a 13-inch screen this is enough detail to even show up most laptops where things get really interesting is performance the iPad pro is rocking a dual-core Apple a 9 X 4 gigs of memory and either 32 or 128 gigabytes of storage this is no joke it easily handles any game available on the App Store like Lara Croft go and geometry Wars and gaming on such a large tablet is a pretty cool experience get into benchmarks that it's even more impressive its competitive with the core i5 equipped surface pro 4 on the CPU side and in graphics it absolutely destroys every other tablet out there this isn't just a powerful tablet this is a powerful computer that puts a lot of laptops to shame unfortunately iOS really isn't up to taking advantage of all that power it excels at things like web browsing with buttery smooth performance and there are some cool creative apps like paper for sketching ideas and you make which creates full 3d models out of your drawings apps like iMovie allow you to edit basic 4k video far better than you would expect out of an iPad and you'll find Microsoft apps like Word PowerPoint and Excel addition to the Apple equivalents to get real work done apps like these really show off the potential that's mostly it for now there are a ton of pro level apps that just aren't available for iOS there are some accessories available like the Logitech create keyboard which is what I use to write this review and while it does work if you really rely on a keyboard you're probably better off just buying a MacBook the same holds true for the smart Keyboard for $170 it's just ridiculous ridiculous it's just ridiculous the Apple pencil is a little cooler as it allows you to sketch a lot better than a traditional stylus and while it's nicely designed as a 100 add-on it really only makes sense if you're serious about design there's a lot to like about the iPad pro while I feel it's slightly too big having a huge tablet has advantages it's got solid battery life with a great screen and speakers and near overkill levels of performance my biggest problem is that at the end of the day it really is just a big expensive iPad for some that's going to be worth it but for most people you're better off getting a MacBook or a surface do you guys think the iPad pro is worth it let me know in the comments below and I will catch you in the next one
