I bought this iPad to replace a 2nd gen one that I've had for about 10-11 years. (It still works and was passed on to another family member). iPad is a great investment & I have confidence that this one will stand the test of time as well! I have nothing negative to say! The speed is super fast even on data connections. It has amazing graphics & capabilities that make multitasking simple and seamless! A must for professionals or grad school students!! Long battery life even utilizing multiple windows for hours at a time. Perfect size for portability! Great choice!

The device is thin and light. Screen is large, bright and extremely clear. I restored from an iTunes backup of an earlier model iPad, and that process was easy. Care is needed in gripping the device, as fingers have a tendency to accidentally tap icons or empty space. This iPad Pro uses lightening connectors, so old cables and charging bricks are compatible with this device. I prefer this size screen to the large one; it makes the device more transportable.

Best iPad model available

Easily the best iPad model available at this time. Large screen that isn’t ridiculous (like the next size up), not much higher in total size than the 9.7 model, fast, clean, light weight, the list goes on. The cellular enabled has a built in GPS chipset allowing use of navigation apps and others when not on WiFi. Great product if you need a reliable tablet.

The iPad Update I'd been waiting for

After many half based negligible updates to the iPad line up, finally this got me excited. I managed to get hold of the iPad 10.5" on release day in Best Buy.
So there are a few points which I notice really sets this apart from my previous iPad Air 9.7". That small different of slightly less than an inch makes a huge difference to viewing the device. In fact, I've used it on a few plane journeys since having it, and fellow passengers in seats across the aisle commented on it, asking if it was an iPad, as they noticed it was bigger. This is a huge gain and although bezel-less would be best, is nicer to use. The screen is brighter and feels more vibrant and colour pops even more than previous generations.
The performance of the device is snappy and smooth, and obviously we're still officially on iOS 10. The launch of iOS 11 will probably bring the device to life even more. So this is a nice replacement and addition to my Apple line up.
Other things I noticed, some obvious, some not. That small difference to the screen size makes typing on the on-screen keyboard much easier with folks with big hands like me. The different is tiny but helps. From a more geeky perspective, the LTE chips in the iPad support faster LTE, and while they do not support the upcoming LTE-LAA (T-Mobile currently rolling out), they do support LTE-A Cat 11. What does this mean? Well it means if you have a fast enough network, you can get data around 600m/bit. A few networks in Europe are offering this at present.
I bought an Apple Pencil, just for S&Gs actually and I've found it quite useful for annotating and marking up designs for work.
So all in all very happy. If I need to mention a couple of small downsides, one would be that I'd really like an extra row of icons on each page as there is room and it would be useful. Secondly, I'm not sure exactly on this, but the battery seems to run down a bit quicker when watching heavily compressed video. This may be the GPU rendering H265 and needing to use more power. In layman's terms, this means if you've downloaded a load of Netflix stuff or even Vudu, expect the battery to run down a little quicker. You still get a very long time and I've not had it down to 10 hours, but a long day of flying with a lot of watching got me down to around 30%.
I recommend this to business users especially as the extra power and screen really help when running CRM apps and so on. Artists may benefit from the Apple Pencil as well.

I got my new iPad Pro after having the second generation for many years so I am thrilled to have such great resolution, speed, and how lightweight it is! It helps me save time in my real estate day so that I am totally mobile again.

After my last iPad gave out (1st gen,over 10 years old) I purchased the iPad Pro. I’m very pleased with this model. Battery life is better and it is lighter. Also much faster. I use this in my small business as well as personal use. I do recommend backing everything up regularly as I did not do that with my last and lost a year of photos. Also, get the largest storage you can afford if you take lots of photos.

Best iPad yet, Smart Keyboard makes it more useful

This updated Pro line is the best set of iPads yet. I've had many previous versions of the iPad before and while I thought they were all very good at watching videos and playing games. But the on screen keyboard made it tough to get any real work or typing done. Typing emails and longer messages was a bit of a chore. The ability to use a keyboard fixes my biggest issue with the iPad. The larger screen makes it nicer to use than the older 9.7s but not quite as bulky as the 12.9. This is a great in between size. The ProMotion display is very smooth and slick, a noticeable improvement over older displays. The processor and graphics chip on this iPad is very powerful and everything runs extremely smooth.
Only downside is that it is expensive so if all you want to do is watch videos and play games then get the non-Pro iPad. That does 95% of what this one can do for half the price.

Jealous of husband's purchase

I purchased the 10.5 ipad pro for my husband's Christmas present. He opened it as soon as it was delivered and has been showing me daily all the awesome functions this device has with the IOS 11. He knew I was envious of his gift so bought me one last week during Best Buy's Black Friday deals. Got mine in last night and just learning to maneuver around. VERY pleased with our purchase.

Best iPad for Productivity

Best iPad that I have owned and use it daily. I debated between 2 in 1 laptop and iPad Pro. The main reasons I select iPad Pro was the new 10.5 inch screen, compatibility with Microsoft office app, Apple app store and unlimited data plan option. It is lightweight and carry it with me all the time.
WIFI + CELLULAR
* Use for online college classes
* Can access online college books, assignments and my paper using the cloud drive and continue where I left off on home desktop
* Use iPad more than my phone for social media, emails, web, music
SCREEN:
* Amazing display colors and sharpenss
* Happy medium 10.5 screen size & lightweight
* Great size for split screen & note taking/drawing with Apple pencil
* Great size for movies & photos
PRODUCTIVITY
* More productive in college and work
* Works best for me to include the Apple keyboard and pencil
* Also use for fun like movies, photo, books, youtube, music, games
I have used this iPad Pro 10.5 everyday since I bought it. It was worth the price because it helped me be more productive. Bought with my Best Buy card and selected 18 months no interest option. Overall, I am very happy with iPadPro 10.5 tablet :)

This iPad has been on my wish list for a long time and I’m enjoying every minute of it now. It is beautiful, functional and very smart. The camera is impressive and clarity of the picture and colors on the screen is crystal clear. It’s lightweight and feels like a piece of jewelry. I can’t wait to use it everyday at home and at work.

Having owned almost all iPads with the Air 2 being the most recent, this is honestly is my favorite iPad to date. The speed of every task is impressive. The sound from the 4 speakers are pleasantly surprisingly good. I really enjoy the 120Hz refresh rate on the screen, this makes scrolling so smooth. 256 gigs of storage at the mid range allows for tons of content. Only dislikes would be the price (I feel like this should be lower) & the battery life could be better.

This iPad is very fast and the screen is remarkably clear. Used for reviewing large blueprint sets and can rival laptops in terms of image rendering speed. The faster refresh rate of the screen cuts almost all lag from the apple pencil.

A Great Replacement to an Aging iPad Air

My iPad Air was going on 3 years and wasn't quite as snappy these days so I was thrilled to hear the 10.5" was announced. The screen isn't much larger on paper, but is is dramatic when you hold it in your hand. However, comparing it with my old iPad it's very hard to tell that it is just a bit bigger than my previous model and the same weight overall. This thing packs some big horsepower which is handy for multitasking. I added on the Apple Keyboard and Pencil which has been a good investment on both accounts. Couldn't be happier!

What a fantastic upgrade

Honestly, I'm not an Apple shill, or a defender. When the company does something bad, I point it out. When criticism is warranted, I offer it. The new iPad Pro 10.5 is an absolutely fantastic evolution of the iPad. The slimmed down bezels and additional screen real estate is very welcomed for anyone who has been used to the traditional 9.7 form factor. The 120Hz display is by far the biggest improvement, and something you will have to see in person to appreciate, as videos can not show it. Performance is rivaling some Macbook Pro models from a year or two ago, and that is not an exaggeration, that is what the benchmarks show to be true. iOS 11 when it comes out will become a game changer in multi-tasking on the iPad. The speakers are even louder and have better sound reproduction than the 9.7 iPad Pro.
Get this iPad. It's worth it.
