The most powerful tablet we’ve ever tested
The iPad Pro M2 is one of the most powerful machines I’ve ever gotten my hands on, delivering blissfully speedy performance in everyday use and outpacing every tablet we’ve ever tested — and a good amount of mainstream laptops — on our benchmark tests. Its laptop-grade power comes as no surprise, as it packs the same industry-leading Apple M2 chip found in the latest MacBook Air and MacBook Pro. You simply won’t find a more powerful tablet than this. I’ve been using the new iPad Pro as my mai...
A smooth, stunning display
Apple didn’t make any changes to the iPad Pro’s display for this year, and it didn’t need to. The 12.9-inch model’s Liquid Retina XDR panel isn’t just the best tablet screen I’ve ever used — it’s one of the smoothest, richest displays I’ve ever laid my eyes on, period. The “XDR” in Liquid Retina XDR stands for Extreme Dynamic Range, and it’s Apple’s promise that you’ll enjoy even more vivid colors and higher brightness than you would on a standard HDR display. That absolutely proved to be the...
A lightweight design that really sings with the Magic Keyboard
The 12.9-inch iPad Pro continues to be impressively svelte for a device that does so much. The 1.5-pound tablet felt comfortably lightweight in my hands, though its massive screen felt a little awkward to navigate with touch controls alone. Unless you plan on doing lots of drawing, this is a tablet that’s really meant to be used with a keyboard — and if you can afford the $349 Magic Keyboardit’s designed for, the two sing together harmoniously. The iPad Pro Magic Keyboard is one of the best k...
It’s expensive — especially with accessories
Just as many of the iPad Pro’s best features have gone untouched, so has its high price. The 12.9-inch model we tested starts at $1,099, and that’s before you add in the $349 Magic Keyboard or $129 Apple Pencil 2 you’ll need for typing and sketching, respectively. Put that all together, and you’re looking at a purchase of at least $1,577 for a true 2-in-1 experience (the 11-inch model starts at a more reasonable $799, but the add-ons are similarly pricey, and the smaller screen isn’t quite la...
Stage Manager needs work
One of the biggest updates to iPadOS 16 for iPad Pro users is Stage Manager, a multitasking tool that lets you jump between your most recent apps via the left side of the screen, and more crucially, allows you to have up to four apps open at once in floating windows, just like you would on a standard computer. On paper, it’s a game-changing addition that should make the iPad Pro a true laptop replacement. In practice, it ranges from sort of useful to laughably messy. Stage Manager has certain...
It’s mostly the same as last year’s model
Aside from its faster processor and a few extra perks like Apple Pencil hover, the iPad Pro M2 is virtually identical to the M1 model that came out last year. That’s not a bad thing for new buyers — the aforementioned display and design are still excellent — but recent iPad Pro owners have little reason to upgrade. If you own a 2021 iPad Pro, this new model is a skip. I’d say “maybe” for those with a 2020 model, as you will get a significant performance boost and a better XDR display. Those r...
I love working on the iPad Pro M2. Everything about this machine moves with a beautiful fluidity, from the ultra-smooth and vibrant display to the sheer speed at which it’s able to juggle dozens of apps without a stutter. It’s the new best tablet for serious artists and editors who want the power of a laptop and the flexibility of a touchscreen, an...
