hey what is up guys and could be HD here and this this is the iPad pro the huge iPad in the flesh this is sort of like my second first impressions of it so my original impressions were at that Apple event a number of weeks ago when you know I got all the footage of it and I was getting my first hands-on of how it feels and how it looks but this is the first time I've had it in-house so I'm going to be putting my own apps on it and this is the beginning of that testing so I'm gonna try to do this entire video without any that's what she said jokes but it's hard to overstate just how huge this tablet is so iPad pro is rocking a 12 point 9 inch display with a resolution of 2732 by 2048 so for those keeping track that's more than a 12 inch macbook more than a 13 inch retina MacBook Pro and more than a 15 inch retina MacBook Pro so it's super sharp and bright and it's very very large and when compared to these other iPads you know I kind of talked about this with the iPhone 6 plus vs. the iPhone 6 there are a couple of inherent benefits just from being bigger so you get a much bigger battery I so off to test the life of it but it has a ten thousand 300 million power battery so I have a feeling it'll probably last for a very long time and all that extra space inside also benefits the speakers so now this iPad has stereo speakers on both sides so a pair on each side and they get very loud and sound fantastic the stereo image is something else since the speakers are so far apart now with the tablet this big you also have some weird quirks about it being so big with the bezels kept the same size the tablet is overall pretty freakin huge and can get very tiring to hold in one hand for more than a little while the weight itself is spread evenly throughout so it isn't top-heavy but it's still one point five seven pounds so it's one of the heavier tablets out there and the icon spacing and the home button just make it look a little comical to not have like any widgets on the home screen of iOS or anything to take advantage of all that extra screen real estate on the home screen as soon as you get into an app you immediately see all the benefits of those pixels apps have more columns there's more readable text on the screen the keyboard gets bigger and easier to type on you have the numbers dedicated there and web browsing just shows way more of each webpage and multitasking in iOS 9 will have way more face so yeah it's just something about the homescreen seems a little bit off fun fact the distance between the icons on the iPad pro is more pixels wide than the entire screen of the original iPhone anyway one area where the iPad pro flexes its muscles is in the performance Department as you'd expect this thing is a monster with Apple's new a9 X chip and four gigabytes of RAM benchmarks off the charts and everything has been buttery smooth with a couple of days I've been messing with this thing and I think that this along with the newest iPhones have performance so good that it just kind of removes any lag and it just showcases iOS at its finest just what it's supposed to be now one pretty big question a lot of people are asking about the iPad pro is can it replace your laptop can it really be a pro machine we have the iPad air we have the iPad Mini and if they just called this the iPad XL that would probably be the end of that conversation but they're calling it the pro and actually bolstering that with a number of first party accessories which I will show you that'll sort of give us a better idea of what Apple is trying to show that the iPad pro can do so the first of those is the keyboard smart cover so it uses the smart connector at the bottom of the iPad pro and a couple of magnets to snap into place and pair and while it's closed it looks like a normal I pad Smart Cover normal case except for the fact that it's a little bit thicker than normal and it's on a huge iPad but when you unfold it and refold it it becomes a pretty average looking iPad keyboard and the keys have about the same travel as a 12-inch MacBook keyboard and the layout is almost the same too you know slightly rounded Keys slightly I guess more click than the 12-inch MacBook but overall having a physical keyboard is good for people who type a lot so people who want to use the Microsoft Office suite or maybe even Apple's own iWork suite or type a lot of emails because you get to do all this in a more ergonomic position so that you don't cover up half of the screen with your hands while you type but then again it doesn't have quite the same ergonomics as a dedicated laptop or even something that's purposefully designed from the ground up to have a detachable keyboard I'm not saying it falls off your lap or anything but it's definitely no surface book and then the second accessory the one that's gotten the most attention and that's so hard to get your hands on right now the hundred dollar Apple pencil Apple has said over and over again that these things work together really well better than third-party styluses and yeah that is true first of all this is how it charges and pears yeah an accident waiting to happen but we'll just go with it and once you do that and get it going the super simple stylus works pretty well with palm rejection to make writing and drawing work well on the iPad pro the tip is thinner than most third-party styluses since it's not mimicking another finger so you can get a little bit more precise with it and the amount of delay is almost zero so you've noticed there's practically no latency when drawing and when apps and things actually show up on the display so I just kind of wish it was a little more robust I kind of wish I had an eraser but the Apple pencil is a very specific tool that a very small group of people will buy for the X or $100 just cross your fingers that this thing will be more functional when more apps are built to take advantage of it so if you're still looking at this iPad pro and wondering who is this for don't worry you're not alone in fact right now I'm actually kind of just loving using it as a huge iPad which is awesome for consumption watching videos with the incredible display and speakers is fantastic catching up on YouTube and like reading articles is a massively improved experience thanks to that bigger real estate and all those pixels as for production that's a work in progress but it will get better and I'm sure those who spend the hundred dollars on a stylus will be committed to making that work so there you have it that's the beginning my early thoughts and impressions of the iPad pro and the first party accessories this is the first Apple mobile device that I can't hold all the way around with one hand not that that matters but yeah let me know what you guys want to see in the full review of it in the comments section down below if you have any thoughts or things you want to know about it and that'll be it thanks for watching and I'll talk to you guys in the next one peace you
