The 9.7in iPad Pro is the best tablet on sale right now. It is a thoroughly excellent device which outperforms the competition is just about every area, from hardware and design to the screen and camera.

A display to die for; Gorgeous looks; Excellent performance

Expensive; iOS starting to feel dated; Only extra money of stylus and keyboard make it a true laptop replacement

There's no doubt that the iPad Pro 9.7 is the best tablet Apple has ever made, combining the power of the original into the stunning form factor of the iPad Air 2 (with a camera bump). Apple has also added new features such as upgraded cameras and one of the best displays we've seen on a tablet.

if you are using a tablet that is more than three years old, it's time to upgrade to the iPad Pro 9.7-inch. It's great for content consumption and playing games even if it's expensive. The Smart Keyboard isn't for everyonr and feels inconvinient.

Blazing fast performance; Stunning display; Loud speakers; Compact form factor

Smart Keyboard is flimsy; Not the ideal laptop replacement; Expensive

The 9.7-inch iPad Pro is more powerful than the iPad Air 2, but I'm having trouble justifying the increased price for most buyers. For $499, you can get a 64GB iPad Air 2 with similar size, shape, and performance. The Pro's sweet spot is the 128GB model, which costs $749 (or $879 with cellular).

Fast; Top-notch Pencil stylus and keyboard accessories; Loud speakers; Great-looking screen

Expensive; iOS apps fall short of Mac and Windows apps in traditional business functionality

Apple raised a few eyebrows when it launched the iPad Pro at the end of last year. After spurning hybrid devices such as Microsoft's popular Surface range for years, the arrival of the 12.9-inch iPad Pro -- complete with keyboard and stylus accessories -- was the sort of screeching U-turn that a...

Apple's new iPad Pro is the best tablet you can buy. But it's still not a laptop

Best tablet cameras and speakers ever; Powerful enough for real productivity; Thin and portable; Apple Pencil is the best stylus available; iOS has best tablet apps; frequent updates

Expensive at every option level; Cramped screen for multitasking; Not a true laptop replacement

Last autumn, Apple released the giant iPad Pro. With a near 13-inch screen, it felt twice as big as the standard 10-inch iPad we’ve been used to for half a decade and promised to replace our notebooks. The iPad Pro brought laptop levels of power, different keyboard and stylus options, and fantastic speakers, all while remaining ridiculously thin. Yet as much as it tries, a giant iPad was still no substitute for a MacBook or Windows 10 PC. That hasn’t stopped Apple from trying. If you liked the giant iPad pro, but had a problem with its … bigness … then say hello to the same old iPad you’ve always known, now with more Pro-iness. The new 9.7-inch iPad Pro is better than its big brother in some ways, and worse in others, but its mission is the same: Apple wants to get people to buy more iPads, and charge more for them.

The Ipad pro 9.7 is the first ipad to have a camera flash.It has all the features of its bigger brother pro 12.9.The size is same of that of the air 2.It is surrounded by speakers which gives amazing sound quality.

Great camera with flash; Live photos; 4k video recording; Amazing sound quality; smooth to run; touch id

Earphones not included; Price a bit high; Cannot call to android devices; very delicate
