The iPad was not the first tablet to be launched in the market. Several players had tried and failed in the tablet category. The iPad managed to become so popular and became a golden standard for the tablet market.

Stunning display; Good cameras; Excellent performance; Portability; Great battery life

The iPad has a problem that we should all wish to have: It's too damn good . The battery life and standby battery life are superb, the screen is pretty, the apps are nice, and the thing is powerful enough it can last for years.

A larger size means a roomier keyboard

The 120Hz refresh rate is currently useful only for artists

Knowing what we do about iOS 11, any review of an iPad Pro running iOS 10 is going to feel unfinished. iOS 10 neither taxes nor takes full advantage of this hardware. The iOS 9-era multitasking features (nearly untouched in iOS 10) feel clunky and anachronistic two years in, especially with...

The A10X is super fast; and it's nice to have 4GB of RAM (a 512GB storage option doesn't hurt; either); Bright 120Hz screen is really easy on the eyes; Fits in a larger screen and a full-size Smart Keyboard without being too much larger and heavier than the tablet it replaces; Apple Pencil has lower...

More expensive than last year, and accessories like the $159 Smart Keyboard and $99 Apple Pencil quickly jack up the price, Included charger is significantly slower than a USB-C MacBook charger; the included Lightning cable is also still using USB-A, Still can't fit two full-size iPad apps on-screen...

For the last couple of weeks, I've been travelling a lot, and I've been using Apple's new 10.5-inch iPad Pro just as much as I've been using my Surface Laptop . And it's been entirely up to the tasks I've asked of it.

As we all know, iOS 11 is coming soon with a lot of iPad-specific improvements. Once it is out, the iPad Pro (10.5-inch) will be good enough to replace the MacBook for a lot of people.

At that point you've got to ask yourself if you wouldn't rather just have a laptop. But if you're set on a tablet and want the best of the best, this is it.

+ Brilliant screen; + Lots of power; + Premium design

The iPad Pro is the best tablet ever, but at a time the entire market is on the decline, that seems like faint praise. But this is much more than a tablet, because the sheer speed offered by the A10X chip -- coupled with high-quality apps -- enables creative pros to do things that used to require a...

Mashable Choice highlights the best of everything we cover, have experienced first-hand and would recommend to others. What is the optimal size for an iPad Is it 9.7 inches 7.9 Maybe 12.9 is the right size No, the new sweet spot is 10.5 inches.

At WWDC 2017 Apple announced the new 10.5-inch iPad Pro. It's not just a single device but an ecosystem that promises to woo you. Apple did realise that not every professional would like to have a 12.9-inch iPad pro, and that's why apple introduced the 10.5-inch iPad Pro.

Apple unveiled the much-rumoured 10.5-inch iPad Pro at this year's Worldwide Developer Conference in San Jose. The successor to arguably the best iPad the company had made to date - the 9.7-inch iPad Pro , reviewed in our July 2016 issue - this new iPad is nothing short of stunning.
