The difference between 9.7 inches (the size of the iPad Air) and 12.9 inches (iPad Pro) may not sound very big. But appearances are deceptive: the iPad Pro is much larger than the tablets that most people will be accustomed
The iPad Pro reminds of a laptop without a keyboard.. Although he weighing just over 700 grams is not particularly heavy, you slide the Pro less easily tap into a bag than the iPad Air or Mini.
Apple presents the new variant therefore primarily as productivity tablet supported by an optional stylus and keyboard cover. The Pro thus moves in the waters of the Microsoft Surface and other hybrid devices running Windows 10. But a true laptop replacement is the iPad Pro not, and the unit price of at least 919 euros for few people will be worth.
See how the keyboard and stylus works:
Review: Pro iPad with keyboard and stylus
Design
The design of the tablet is excellent, as we expect from Apple. The finish of the aluminum housing is neat, and the device feels solid. The edges of the screen to be relatively thin, so that the tablet is not unnecessarily large.
The screen itself has a resolution of 2732 by 2048 pixels, so that the pixel density remains approximately equal to the ipad air. As with the other tablets from Apple falls on the screen quality irreproachable.

Performance
Under the sleek aluminum on the back of the iPad Pro is the new A9X processor, which is quite a powerhouse. Particularly to graphics tablet leaves the competition far behind. The A9X is even faster than the chips found in many laptops, including the 12-inch Macbook from Apple itself.

For the first time an iPad four speakers:. Two on top and two on the bottom. This managed to produce a decent volume. Nice detail is that the speakers consider the orientation of the tablet, so the bottom speakers always provide the bass. That makes a small but audible difference.
Keyboard
Also new is a magnetic connection on the left side of the tablet. Since the iPad Pro Keyboard Cover can be connected. The cover, which is available separately for the rather shocking price of 179 euros, has a significantly less attractive design than the iPad Pro itself. Closed, it is not quite flat, but puts part of the cover that off.
iPad Pro – Smart Keyboard

The keys stabbing not very far off the cover and can not be pushed very far; which takes getting used to. © NU.nl/Jeroen Crane
It is in the beginning quite complicated to cover as folding the tablet upright. The keyboard itself is quite small, and it is not possible to put the device on another corner down.
The keys themselves are not bad, and it is possible to type on the Smart Keyboard, but compared with for example the Type Cover of the Microsoft Surface Pro series of Apple keyboard is insignificant.
Stylus
second accessory for the Apple iPad Pro has made a stylus called Pencil. This pin (at 109 euros) is impressively accurate, though most iPad users will have none need.

During charging, plug the Pencil in a rather clumsy way from the tablet. © NU.nl/Jeroen Crane
Fortunately expires charging very fast, so the stylus is not so often have to stabbing. © NU.nl/Jeroen Crane
The lightning connector sits under a cap. Unfortunately, the Pencil can not be inserted into a slot of the tablet; You must therefore store it separately. © NU.nl/Jeroen Crane
As a non-artistic person I was after half an hour signs weather bored with the Pencil, but I was immediately impressed by the accuracy and pressure sensitivity of the pen.
Awkward is the accessory via the Lightning port of the iPad is charging. While doing this puts the Pencil far from the tablet, which looks weird. If you do not use the Pencil there is no way to stabbing him in the tablet or to hang on to, so you have it yourself store them properly.
Software
The biggest problem with the iPad Pro is not in the hardware but in the software. The device runs like all iPads and the iPhone on iOS. That is an excellent mobile operating system, but it’s just not optimized for productivity scenario that Apple Pro will allow.
The home screen of the iPad Pro is almost comical by the waste of screen space. There’s an enormous amount of unused space between app icons and widgets and other useful additions still missing from the home screen; for that you have to turn to the notification panel. Therefore it sometimes feels like you’re using a huge iPhone.
There are some small changes to make it more useful to the big screen. It is possible to have two apps side by turning each other, a feature that was already standard in Windows 8 and also for many years by Samsung on its tablet is made available.
this on the iPad Pro works intuitively and nice. Many apps scale automatically entered when you change the size of the two windows. True multitasking on an iPad Pro, however, still a lot less possible than on a Windows or OS X device. A whole day working on the iPad Pro was not there for me.
This is also due to the lack of applications that are made specifically for the iPad Pro. Among other apps from Adobe and AutoCAD, and the drawing app Paper are already optimized for the larger version. For designers is nice, but many other frequently used apps display on the iPad Pro even a scaled-up version of the existing iPad app, so they get blurry.
Probably, many existing apps in the near future support iPad Pro installation, but it is still questionable whether there will be many apps developed which are specially made for the Pro. That will depend inter alia on the number of tablets sold and the willingness of users to pay for iPad Pro apps.

Conclusion
The iPad Pro is a good tablet with impressive specifications, but for most people it will not be interesting are. Who wants to buy a tablet to work on and a lot of text processing on, is still better off with a Surface from Microsoft or a compact MacBook.
With a price of 919 euros, plus 179 euros for the keyboard, the iPad Pro is also slightly cheaper than a high-end laptop. Perhaps the device interesting for designers or artists with the Apple Pencil want to work, but most other people the iPad Pro can safely ignore.
- Beautiful design
- High performance
- High price
- Software unfit for work

Bigger is better. That must have thought Apple when the company recently launched the iPad Pro. It is the biggest tablet ever. Our verdict read in this review iPad Pro. The iPad Pro is a bin of beast, a monster. But it may also if you need to reach pretty deep into their pockets. Because you’re not ready earlier than 919 euro and that is a considerable amount. You pay for advanced technology, because the iPad Pro is a pretty cool eh .. PC tablet with famous features as you might expect. Think about Siri support and using a finger scan to log in. The tablet has a 12.9 inch screen and a resolution of 2732 x 2048. Which application you use, everything looks in great detail and that is very pleasing to the eyes. And if for example you play a movie via Netflix you can not help but realize that you will be completely blown away by the quality. And let’s be honest: a larger screen to watch a movie or look back at the one television program is much finer than in a smaller size as the iPad Air 2 (or the rest of the previously released models) Delicious watching movies with the built-in speakers What is also of very high added value, the four built-in speakers. Especially if you are a movie setup, you notice that the sound quality is better than previous iPads. You can safely say that if you’re somewhere iPad and want to create your own little small cinema, you can. Less important, but indeed it is convenient that the sound is adapted to the way you tilt the iPad and thus have in hand. However, most will not get an iPad (let alone this Pro) at home to create a movie somewhere. Maybe you’re a video creator himself! Professional or not, almost everyone nowadays movies to make and therefore the assembly. Apple goes well with the times, because if something is hot under video creators, then it is called 4K. For example if you have an iPhone 6 or iPhone 6S possession, you can shoot images in 4K and mount on the iPad Pro. Again, handy when you’re on the go. In addition, the Pro does everything except slow, due to an improved chip and a faster processor compared with the iPad Air 2.  The iPad Pro is for everyone An important question is whether the iPad pro can and should be considered as a laptop replacement. Yes and no. Maybe that Apple is a resounding ‘yes’ ambition, but let’s be honest: if you’re working simultaneously in many programs, and to work quickly, then that as always are always better on a laptop or desktop (with the mouse) than an iPad Pro. It’s good to see that the options are more sophisticated, but be aware that the Pro is certainly not a replacement device. You do not go the whole day working on an iPad Pro. That seems almost unlikely. Though it is true that there is a keyboard for the Netherlands is in the works (which unfortunately we have not been able to test) The second important question is to whom the Pro is actually exactly meant. Many people think it’s just for businessmen. That is a wrong notion. Make no mistake: the iPad Pro is actually for everyone: for you, for me, for your mother, your neighbor. This sounds silly, but that is certainly not meant to be. Thanks to the fine options and many (small) improvement is simply a fine device for various people. Whether you just want to surf, a game wants to play, wants to check an app, the iPad Pro is your best friend. But if we are critical, we recommend’m not really that kind of users. Gaming is not, for example up to its promise. A game like Geometry Wars looks ridiculously good further out also sounds great with all those built-in speakers, but the Pro is much too bulky in the hand to play games really nice. The previous smaller models are more appropriate. Although there is the possibility of a controller to buy. People who really value the Pro can take include engineers, doctors and artists. Ingenious have many design and drawing. The iPad Pro is very suitable. Thanks to a pencil (not included), this group can draw to your heart’s in AutoCad and with much precision.  Twisted handy pen That pen should not be underestimated, because the possibilities are endless. A thick stripe, a thin line and everything in between: the thing registers everything. And everything seems to run smoothly. A modern paintbrush in hand and so it is a fine piece of engineering for cartoonists and other artists. Furthermore, the iPad Pro can be very useful in science. An example which yours truly got the hots for example is that a doctor talking to a patient can show via the iPad Pro drawings of the human body and then gives more information. The Pro is graphic such a monster, that enough can zoom in on details. How many people do not come to call, and then think that a doctor talking abracadbra? Such a Pro would partly because of its size can help. In addition, you can on the iPad Pro multitasking (for example, though it was also previously on the iPad Air 2). While you have left a page open, you can just as quickly swipe your notes and get it. You can quickly switch between your thoughts and what you’re watching. Or suppose for example, that you quickly through swipe to open your email. You choose your preference!  Nice but expensive We’re definitely enthusiastic about the iPad Pro, because this is simply the best tablet that Apple has delivered. Only the device is not recommended for everyone. You should be aware that the device is expensive (the most expensive variant is about 1200 euros!) And heavy in the hand. He is relatively light and lighter than a laptop. But if you are a person who often just want to surf and take an iPad at hand, then the Pro is not suitable. Then we recommend the iPad Air 2. The Pro puts you more down on a table. Think of it not as a laptop replacement in the office, especially if you do a lot of video editing. Indeed you want to have around for example the Pro settings go. This also applies to other audiences: it is a very nice tablet which is very desirable in many applications because it provides easiness. It’s a monster of a device that works very well, but ask yourself what you ‘m going to use. And then do you know if you really have to open up your wallet. Our advice is: not for everyone, but for many. Though it remains duur!
