Apple - 10.5-Inch iPad Pro with Wi-Fi - 512GB - Gold

I purchased this iPad specifically music production and it has been fantastic! I can load all my music, synth and beat applications along with using a midi keyboard without overloading the iPad. It is great having an iPad for specific music production use! I bought an anti-glare screen protector off A*****n. This iPad 10.5" is a perfect sound and has been an amazing addition to my music creation toolbox!

I started with an iPad 1, then a 3. Finally upgraded and couldn’t be more pleased. It’s much faster. The screen is crisp and clear. You can see two apps running side by side, although it’s confusing to setup at first. This iPad is so light I was afraid of breaking it so I bought a Logitech case and backlit keyboard combo. It’s cheaper than the Apple keyboard and protects the back.

My new IPad Pro sound is powerful a lot better than my old iPad Air, yes, a huge difference. Display is brilliant, innovative Apple pencil uses are numberless. Camera has been improved as well, new options are available. Therefore the only problem is battery life. It isn't better. It works same way my old iPad was working after 5 years.

My new iPad Pro is perfect. The pencil and keyboard make this my go to devise.

So far the iPad has performed without glitches or errors.

I purchased the 512GB Model for the added storage. Great performance as expected for any Apple product. Great sound from the added speakers on this model as well. I'm so glad that Apple has decided to keep the 3.5mm or (1/8") Audio Output Port on this model, otherwise I would have purchased an older model. I really am upset at their decision on the removal of the 3.5mm Aux. jack, NOT the brightest decision in the world to remove the auxiliary audio output jack on all of the new Apple products iPhones. I really don't know of anyone who likes this missing feature, why change something that works?... Apple really thought that it would be wise to try and reinvent the wheel, NOT VERY SMART APPLE! It's always best to have added options when it comes to my choice of headphones or earphones when listening to great music. The new lightning dongle is a joke... Really, (Who wants to carry around another flimsy dongle) that doesn't even give you the option to charge your phone when using the dongle with headphones.... REALLY APPLE? What were you people thinking? Keep the Audio Aux. port and give us the option. Besides, music still sounds so much better from a great set of professional wired headphones anyways. If removing the 3.5mm jack was such a good idea to them, why aren't they brave enough to remove it from all of their computers too... It's simple, nobody would buy one. DJ's across the nation use Mac Computers for one reason...(((SOUND!!!))) You take away their headphone jack option and you just killed your sales on your entire fleet !!! Bring it back APPLE... "If something works, leave it alone"!!!

This is not the latest generation of the iPad Pro series. In fact, Apple no longer makes the iPad Pro in the 10.5 Inch screen size. The newest generations are 11 and 12.9 inch screen sizes; yet, there's little difference in terms of performance between this unit and the most current iterations. Admittedly, the new series use a supposedly faster chip (the A12), while the model under review ran on an earlier chip. Yet, for most people, the difference in chip speed is barely worth the difference in price. Similarly, the newest models of the iPad Pro have supposedly faster wifi connectivity; but since actual wifi speeds depend on a whole series of factors, including your router set up, this difference may not matter that much. The most important element in any iPad is of course the software, and to that extent, there is essentially no significant difference in the ability of the variouys iPads to run compatible software. iOS12 will install and run just as readily on this iPad as on the newer ones. And, the 10.5 cost me significantly less than the newer iPad pros. It's a good bargain.

I am an android user but have not found an android tablet that works as well as the iPad. I looked at the Samsung Tab. 3 but became disenchanted with their tablets when last two my wife had stopped being updateed after lless than two years. Little to no support after a short time killed that idea. Apple tends to continue supporting their hardware for a much longer time allowing the iPad to have a longer life, I do have problems with IOS in that there is a lack of customization but I have to admit the device does just work. Getting use to many of the capabilities as well as dealing with the limitations, I have IOS 11 beta running and the new “file app” is a joke as are any of the file managers in the store. This thing is fast. Everything just runs fast. Multi tasking is not as good as on the Galaxy S8+ my current phone of choice. Battery life is very good. Still find new things to do every day. The Pencil is good just no place to keep it without a special case. Prefer the S-pen on the Samsung Notes. For other android users , NO I will not be going to an iPhone. But I do believe in using the best the tech for my needs and the iPad Pro fills my need for a tablet.
