Apple iPad Pro 12.9-inch 256GB Wi-Fi + Cellular - Space Grey MXF52X/A review

Expensive, but highly desirable with great performance...

Great design; Fast performance; Gorgeous screen; Trackpad and mouse support

Now that iPadOS 13.4 officially supports a mouse, the iPads are ready to take a real stab at the “hybrid” experience. And Apple is pretty open about calling the new iPad Pro (2020) “Your next computer”.

Great design; thin and portable; Fantastic performance; smooth animations; USB Type-C; 128 GB base storage

Accessories are pricey (Magic Keyboard not even out yet); Higher storage tiers can get expensive; File system is still a bit funky

The 2020 iPad Pro is a terrific tablet that, thanks to features like trackpad support and some under-the-hood tweaks, comes closer than ever to feeling like a traditional computer.

Strong performance; LiDAR could be an AR game-changer; Mostly elegant trackpad support; Base model now has more storage

Ultra-wide camera not as good as main; Some apps need to be trackpad-optimized; Still no headphone jack; Hardware doesn't feel dramatically updated

The 2018 model was the revolution, for 2020 it’s nips and tucks, meaning business as usual.

Lovely screen and smooth performance; USB-C more practical for accessories; Trackpad support (and incoming Magic Keyboard) make for a true laptop replacement; LiDAR sensor adds future potential

LiDAR app support is few and far between; Doesn't feel much faster than 2018 model; Your Lightning accessories won't work (it's USB-C)
