what is iPad pro well it's a gigantic 12 point 9 inch iPad it's a larger screen it's also got a faster processor and it's got new peripherals like this pencil to work for you and for professionals what does that mean can this replace a computer well I work with this for about a week and a half and this is what I like the most here's what's great about it sighs this is a twelve point nine inch iPad 2732 by 2048 pixels that is a lot and it feels like a big-screen TV running iOS apps it's fantastic for games for watching movies and you can spread out documents and webpages and really see a lot if you split screen apps then you can make out to almost nearly iPad size apps side by side and it starts to feel even more like a computer than any iPad before pencil Apple separately sold pressure-sensitive stylus as a marvel it costs $100 but it offers you a wide range of pressure sensitivity tilting to be able to control brushstrokes and pencil like shading and it also enables quick lightening charging directly from the iPad itself with the right supported art apps this thing feels like the best stylus I've ever used keyboards and connectors apples got a new smart connector on the side of the iPad that should allow all sorts of inputs right now it just works with keyboards and a couple of the ones out of the gate Logitech's iPad pro keyboard and Apple's own smart keyboard have great keys and feel comfortable but they're expensive they're over $150 each and you can already get Bluetooth keyboards that work for the iPad that do just fine and cost less optimized apps and better split-screen ones if you can find apps that take advantage of this iPad pro screen resolution and it's more advanced a 9 X processor you're gonna get some great photo editing tools graphics apps and things that are a little more powerful than get on another iPad and split-screen apps look great but you're gonna have to find the ones that take advantage which right now there weren't as many as we would have liked what's not great size as big as this is it's also harder to carry around this thing's going to require a laptop size bag while it's lightweight for sighs it's still wide and long and more cumbersome and loses some of that great iPad portability sometimes it's not that much different from an iPad really iOS 9 still allows the same type of split-screen apps that you can get on the iPad air 2 or even the iPad Mini 4 you get more screen real estate but you're not getting any new types of interfaces on the main screen no new ways to deal with apps in the dock and it feels more like a blown-up iPhone than it should under the hood it's more powerful but I wanted even more cost the iPad pro starts at $100 but if you add in 228 gigabytes of storage in the pencil and the keyboard you're climbing into the price of a premium laptop do you need this iPad pro is it the computer of the future it depends I mean if you're a creative professional who really likes using a super accurate stylus with some art apps then maybe but this is expensive and it's not exactly where I need it to be which is to be something more like a computer it's day 1 of where the iPad is going and where I hope it's going is something somewhere between an iPad and a MacBook but for now for my editing needs I'm probably going to go back towards that MacBook you
