Apple - 12.9-Inch iPad Pro with Wi-Fi + Cellular - 128GB - Gold

I was really concerned about the size of the iPad Pro. I mainly purchased this solely for use with the Apple Pencil. I demoed the Apple Pencil and fell in love. I already had an iPad Air and felt it to be a great size—although for drawing, I always wanted more room. After using this for a few days, I went back to my iPad Air and it felt like an iPad Mini. I'm now selling my Air because it hasn't been used in a month. The only app that feels very odd as a full-screen app is Messages. The home screen can also feel a bit "jumbo" as well, but you get used to it. Anyone looking to draw on a tablet should get the iPad Pro without a doubt. Anyone looking to have a single work/personal tablet in one should get this. The only downside is the LTE version is the top-end model. That's the one I got, though and I'm glad I did.

As a tv producer I use a lot of Apple products. The IPad Pro is a dream machine for mobile editing and pitching your sizzle reels. Sound & Picture get five stars. Only downfall is lack of support for pic based edit programs and file transfers.

I love this iPad. It is like having a laptop without the hassle of waiting for it to boot up. It is large enough to type on and not use a separate keyboard.

Great pic contrast Sharpe camera feature Very satisfied‼️

I use the iPad Pro as a digital music reader, along with the apple pencil and a foot pedal page turner. I'm most concerned with the slow charging(4-5 hours from 0%-100% while not in use) I get and how quickly my battery depletes. In my experience I've used about 20% an hour while practicing or performing, using the ForScore app, on airplane mode, only using Bluetooth for the page turner/pencil. I've turned off background refresh for apps, got rid of the Facebook app (which was consuming the most power regardless of how much/little I used it, even with background refresh disabled) and reduced the brightness (which does help marginally, but makes reading more difficult) I'm hoping that a new lightning charging cable with support for the 29W charging brick will make charging much easier, and that a newer update can address power conservation for high power users. I regularly use my tablet 6-8 hours a day and would like to be untethered to a power source. The screen is amazing. Using the pencil for note-taking and annotations is effortless and there is no stylus out there that comes close to comparison. Reading magazines, webpages, kindle books and zinio magazines is a joy with the larger screen size. The speakers are definitely better than even MacBooks, 4 speakers makes for an immersive experience, and I don't often need full volume to get rich sound in all registers. The Apple keyboard is amazing, the stand is clunky,but the full size keyboard and responsiveness is incredible. Definitely check this out before 3rd party keyboards, you'll be impressed how sensitive the touch is. I'm not as enthused about multitasking, as several of the apps I use dont have support for it yet, but I hope the software developers will roll out with it soon. All in all I'm delighted by this device. It's not only a laptop replacement, but it's incredibly useful as a digital reader for music, and media consumption of all types. Fix the battery issues and it'd get 5 stars from me!

If you own an iPad Air or Air 2 and want something slightly bigger, then this is the device for you! It is very speedy and coming from an iPad Air 2, I can't quite tell the difference. I can definitely appreciate the sheer size of this device. I use my iPad primarily at the gym to watch netflix or VEVO on the Elliptical trainer and with the right case, you can prop it right up for your viewing pleasure. So this size is great! From a professional perspective, it's also a great device for artist! I just got the Pen and Keyboard so stay tuned for those reviews. But the Pencil is a must get for a sign artist like myself. Although there is a learning curve still to drawing letters on a iPad vs. my traditional ways of hand drawing on paper for my job. I think this is a great way to go green for artist while still giving you that creative outlet which is pretty cool in my book. **Here are the few detractors** PRICE: As someone who ALWAYS opts. for the WiFi + Cellular model, I am very disappointed apple didn't make it available on the 32GB model. What the heck am I going to do with 128GB? I already subscribe to all their cloud service offerings so everything streams. The good news here is I came across my iPad Pro in Portland Oregon and they had this in stock that that saved me on Tax which is the only perk via Best Buy. WEIGHT: Depending on where you're holding it, its not too bad...but laying down in bed is probably not the best because at 1.59lbs, dropping that on your face is probably not idea. Has yet to happen to me but it has with my iPhone 6+. My hand has cramped holding it with one hand for a long period of time on a few occasions. DO YOU NEED IT? Yes and no. If you're like me always wanting to keep up with the latest tech...and also an artist or design who wants to make use of the $99 pencil, I'd say go for it! Otherwise, you are fine with the iPad Air 1 or 2 if you currently own those. Although I am not going to lie, the 4 speakers and larger screen is something I forgot to mention and that's awesome when watching Netflix :). I'm really struggling with this but due to the high price of this device, I only rate it 3.5/4 stars. Adding Apple Care + the Smart Keyboard + the Pencil, you're looking at $1469+ tax depending on your state. Is this worth that? Realistically no. So Because of that, Apple get's 4 stars for this because it's simply not worth that price IMO. I would not recommend this to a friend either due to it's high cost to own.

Love the size and speed. Great for reading and love the iPencil. Only drawback I can see is I don't like most of the cases that are available right now. Most add a lot of bulk or are flimsy with all their novelty stand up features. I just won't slim protection that holds the pencil.
