If Tony Stark built tablets instead of mechanised suits of armour, I think he'd struggle to come up with something better. This is an iPad that's truly deserving of that "Pro" moniker.

Apple has decided not to give the iPad Pro 10.5 a full makeover and instead made real improvements where it matters most. Particularly the new display is impressive - its great reflective properties and HDR capabilities will be particularly interesting for fans of movies, TV series and gaming.

very good display; fast Wi-Fi; additional Apple SIM (LTE-versions only; speedy SoC; decent speakers; good battery runtimes

no support for Galileo GNSS; pressure-sensitive case; one-year warranty only; display does not support P3 despite claims; slower memory than predecessor; long charging times

Last year, we gave the 9.7-inch iPad Pro a score of four out of five. Some of our issues with that release -2 gigabytes of RAM, a USB 2 speed Lightning port -have been addressed. Our concerns about the price not only remain, but have been amplified.

The new 10.5-inch iPad Pro looks great, squeezing a larger screen into a chassis that's the same size as its 9.7-inch predecessor (albeit largely retaining the classic but well-worn design that Apple has been selling since 2013); the specs look fantastic on paper, too, and its performance in our...

There's a lot to say about the 10.5in iPad Pro, but in short, we think you'll love it. It's a delight to use for a huge variety of tasks thanks to its power, design and great screen size, but it comes at a price.

The best iPad you can buy. Pair it with the Smart Keyboard or Pencil for a productive mobile powerhouse, just make sure the apps and software you need to be most productive are compatible first.

Extremely fast; Light; Excellent screen and cameras; Better battery life than previous iPads

Expensive; Using iOS for pro-level applications requires a shift in thinking; Screen technologies may be too advanced to perceive
