Hard drive options include 256GB (for an extra $100), 512GB ($300 more), 1TB (add $700), and 2TB (add $1,100 totaling two times the entry-level cost). The Pro can use external storage, but in iPadOS, external drives are second-class citizens that can't be used directly by some apps, so you want that internal storage. That price is for a 128GB model, and you'll probably overrun that with large media files after a year or so.

You're unlikely to pay just $1,099 for this tablet. The 12.9-inch model measures 11.04 by 8.46 by 0.25 inches (HWD), and its weight of just 1.5 pounds belies its speed and power. We're reviewing the larger model, which is the only one with the new XDR Mini LED display. The 11-inch model starts at $799, and the 12.9-inch model starts at $1,099. There are two models of the new iPad Pro. But iPadOS can't take advantage of the new power under the hood, which means the $599-and-up iPad Air is still our Editors' Choice winner for Apple tablets.Ī Tablet With Laptop Power, at Laptop Prices An absolute hardware tour de force, this $1,099, 12.9-inch tablet is gorgeously built, with power to match the latest Apple laptops, the finest screen we've ever seen on a slate, and connectivity options that the latest MacBooks can't touch. The new iPad Pro is too good for its operating system.
