It's quite impossible to have one device to rule them all, but I'd be happy if I could bring it down to two. The thought of not having to lug one and also one less device to charge is not a bad idea.

Apple may be playing catch-up, issuing its first oversize tablet, but the iPad Pro cuts no corners: It's a fittingly luxurious take on the form.

Gorgeous; large display; Surprisingly thin and light for size; Exceptional graphics processing; Four powerful speakers; Can connect keyboard sans pairing; wires; or batteries

Stylus is pricey; not attachable; Keyboard case has few stand positions; So-so battery life; No built-in stand; USB ports; MicroSD slot

Great purchase, paired with a smart connect keyboard makes it great for on the go business. Large screen is better than squinting at your phone. My only issues are that it is a bit heavy to hold if you plan on reading on it. It also takes a very long time to charge.

So, does iPad Pro do enough to replace a laptop (even a MacBook)? Some might be quick to say no, but we think it depends on the user. There are many out there who wouldn't wish to leave behind the extended power capabilities of OS X or Windows, and certain heavy laptop users may dismiss the notion...

A big, beautiful screen that improves many tablet experiences, including watching videos and looking at photos; Extremely fast; Very good, intelligent speakers for an unparalleled audio experience on iPad; Smart Connector opens up new accessory possibilities and adds to device's versatility.

Expensive; Can be unwieldy and uncomfortable to use at times; Accessories add to price, making it no less expensive than a laptop; Portability suffers due to larger size; Some apps look "off" on huge screen.

The iPad Pro isn't for everyone: It performs well, but iOS 9 isn't as adept at multitasking as a laptop operating system, and the lack of any mouse input can get tiresome. That said, its fast performance and smooth pen input could be useful for creative pros who need a way to stay productive while...

This is the first iPad that I've actually started using EVERY day. Why? The Apple Pencil has let me do away with innumerable notes and things as it allows me to truly have a device that can be my work canvas in conjunction with apps like OneNote....it's FAST, simple, and powerful.

Apple Pencil- BEST stylus on the market; bar NONE

always afraid of dropping it given its size

T his year, for the first time since 2010, Apple didn't update its flagship iPad. Except it did. Suddenly, the iPad Air 2 isn't Apple's classiest tablet any more. It's been overtaken by a more advanced, bigger brother.

You can argue that all of what I've said works well on Microsoft's Surface Pro 4. And you're absolutely right. But would you rather use a device that handles everything designed twenty years back really well, or are you willing to take a chance on a platform that will set the tone for the next...

+ Beautiful Screen + Amazing Speakers + Good Multitasking + Apple Pencil

- Platform needs to evolve - Older version of TouchID

When I first picked up the iPad Pro at an Apple event this past September, I couldn't help but laugh a little bit. For one, its size: it is holy-crap-look-at-this-iPad big. And with a price tag that easily jumps up to around a thousand dollars, it's the most expensive iPad ever.

Large; beautiful display; Powerful processor; Precise stylus; Split-screen multitasking

It's expensive; It's really big; Overpriced accessory keyboard; Not quite a PC replacement
