iPad Pro (2024) review: So very nice, and so very expensive

Apple’s latest iPad Pro is super powerful as well as incredibly expensive. It’s a delight to use, but is it right for you?

(The unit I’m testing is a 13-inch system with 1TB of storage and 5G, which costs $2,099) The iPad Pro has always felt like Apple flexing its muscles, showing off an absurdly powerful and portable vision of tablet computing that’s overkill for almost everyone, and that’s more true than ever. Pros Possibly the best screen I’ve ever seen M4 chip is extremely powerful Thinner and lighter than before, making it easier to hold Front camera is now on the landscape edge Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil Pro include significant new features Apple reversed course by 2020 when it brought its own chips to the MacBook Pro; those laptops were heavier and chunkier than the disastrous Touch Bar models, but they had more ports and better keyboards and no issues staying cool under a heavy workload.
