Customer Ratings & Reviews

This 2020 model of the iPad Pro represents an incremental upgrade of the redesigned 2018 version. Yes, it's a bit faster with new specs, and it has improved camera features. But, I probably would not have upgraded from my previous iPad Pro if I had not clumsily dinged it up on a business trip. That said, however, this is a spectacular gem of computing hardware. It runs quicker than my 2019 MacBook Pro laptop, has a brighter display and is, of course, more lightweight and easier to use. When you combine those features with the new Magic Keyboard (worth the investment) and the iPadOS software, this iPad Pro can now be the singular, all-purpose computing tool that most folks will need for basic email, web browsing, word processing and video entertainment. For heavy duty work tasks and video editing, I still prefer my MBP laptop. But, this iPad Pro can be a perfect all-in-one device for most people, and it will be my go-to travel computer. The Magic Keyboard with trackpad effectively turns this iPad Pro into a full-blown, productivity laptop. And, you also can easily detach the iPad from the Magic Keyboard, and lean back to consume entertainment and read. The downsides of this iPad Pro are its price and its tiny improvements from the 2018 model. If you buy the Magic Keyboard with this iPad Pro, you're spending more than the cost of an entry-level MacBook Pro laptop. You can rationalize the cost by citing the power and versatility of this iPad Pro, and it's both of those things. My bottom line: If you have a 2018 iPad Pro, this is not a mandatory upgrade. You can still take advantage of the new Magic Keyboard and iPad OS with the older model. But if you're new to iPad or have a pre-2018 version, you should give this a serious look. It's a seriously superb 2-in-1 device!

The iPad Pro 2020 version is convenient for an Architecture student like me. I entirely recommend it with its storage space, camera resolution, screen display, battery life, and high-quality performance. I bought the iPad Pro with a 256GB capacity to hold my applications, social media accounts, editing, and drawing software. Although there is a cheaper model with 128GB storage, the 256GB one is better as it can hold more space and works faster than the lower version. The iPad Pro also has commendable camera specs since it has wide and ultra-wide pro cameras with 12 megapixels and 10 megapixels, respectively. It can also take time-lapse videos, portrait photos, and panoramic views that may be up to 63 megapixels. As expected from Apple products, the iPad Pro can record clear or high-resolution images and videos with front and back cameras. A critical feature of this iPad Pro is its battery life, as it can be used for up to 10 hours. Though this still depends on how you take care of it or use it because some applications may drain the battery quickly. Since I use my iPad for school meetings, it can last for a whole day of studying online. The overall performance of a 2020 iPad Pro model is highly commendable, which makes it worth your money. It is a valuable gadget for students like me, especially for design courses since some applications like procreate and AutoCAD may be accessible through it. However, convenient-wise, I don’t think it’s pretty handy for everyone since this model is 12.9 inches in size and is quite heavy.

I've owned many iPads, and this one by far is the best one I've owned. Better value than the previous ones, now you get more storage for your buck and better cameras. My wife has an 11 inch 2019 iPad Pro and when I compared both of them in performance, there is no difference at all. If you have a 2019 iPad I'd recommend no to upgrade, other than having a reason for needing the new cameras and sensors. I love the 12.9 inch, the screen real state is that of a small laptop, it allows you to use it for work and business in a great way (I found it difficult to do on an 11" screes) and yet I can use it to read or browse the internet while laying in bed. Great buy, would recommend paying for Apple Care.

I've loved every minute of having this iPad, it's been great, storage expansion options are cheap and easy. It runs everything i need

The iPad Pro is joy to work with. I purchased it with the Magic Keyboard and although that’s a nice complement that pairs and works superbly, doesn’t feel necessary in most situations where portability is the priority. (The keyboard, although svelte and protective, adds a considerable amount of weight). Goor form factor and weight. Great screen. Works well in all lighting conditions. Fast and responsive. WiFi and web browsing is super fast. I have the 256Gb version which feels plenty along with my iCloud service to complement it. faceID works well. Also fast and responsive. I use it as a good but not complete substitute for a MacBook Pro. I’m also experimenting with music composition and production with GarageBand. Good sound from the four speakers and the processor seems to be more than adequate for multitrack digital compositions.

I wasn’t sure about picking up “the big” iPad. I’ve owned several iPads over the years. I had the original iPad which had incredible battery life. I had an iPad Mini, which was generally too small for anything productive. Then the iPad Air, which seemed to be a good, but still a bit small for my purpose. Then the first iPad Pro 10.5” came out. That was a great size and I was able to use it for a good 3 years. Looking to upgrade I considered the iPad 12.9... wondering if it would be TOO big. I’m actually a bit on the fence about it. I enjoy the extra screen real estate when using the iPad 12.9” for work via virtual machines. It’s literally a laptop when using it with the Magic Keyboard. BUT when just reading, and typical media consumption, it can be heavy and a big unruly due to its size. Build quality is typical Apple. Excellent and solid. No issues there. Performance - I can’t slow this thing down. It doesn’t matter how many apps I have open, or what I’m doing, it never lags. I will say that I’m not editing video or pictures, but I do some gaming and a lot with remote computers. Screen is very bright and the screen refresh rate is amazingly smooth. Battery life is pretty good, I was hoping for more, but I do tend to run my screen on the brighter end of the spectrum. I’m sure at 50% that the battery life would meet my expectations, but I like a bright screen. Overall, its a great machine if not too big. I think the 11” would provide the best of both worlds depending on your use case. If you’re using the iPad as your primary machine, the 12.9” is for you. If for content consumption or as a secondary device, then the 11” might be more your speed.

When Apple released the big iPad Pro version, I was confused because I didn’t think anybody would need a bigger iPad Pro. To me, that would be deterrent to its appeal, portability. When they released the latest iPad Pro and the updated pencil (and keyboard), I couldn’t resist. I have the previous iPad Pro and it was a very good notebook. But the latest iPad Pro has even better picture, camera and faster. And it’s a beautiful product, which Apple is always known for. Some people miss the touch button but I have iPhone 11 Pro Max, so I am used to not having that button anymore. For me, more screen is better. And what a screen this is. Apple advertises that this device is faster than your computer and I believe it is. Everything is brighter, more colorful and faster. Yes, it’s heavy and more awkward to carry, but that’s the price to pay for getting a bigger screen and more powerful device. It’s like a computer – especially if you also get their magic keyboard. I opted for Smart Keyboard instead, not because of the price, but because of portability. Magic keyboard is a full size keyboard with trackpad and it’s pretty heavy. Smart Keyboard folio, on the other hand, is basically a keyboard that is double as a cover for the front and back of the iPad. I also invested on Apple Pencil, which I haven’t used much – but convinced myself to get one, just in case I need one. Do I need a bigger iPad Pro? Probably not, but I have to say, I am really loving this device. It’s a well made small computer that will last a long time.

I’ve held off getting an IPod because I wanted the largest on (pro) and I didn’t’ like having to craddle it when using. Then the Magic Keyboard came along and addressed my issues. I absolutely love my iPad with the Magic Keyboard and can’t seem to leave it behind wherever I go. The speed, ease of use, great sound, and beautiful display makes this my number one web surfing device.

I’m, I can’t say enough about this guy. I do heavy graphics on this iPad. I use many art apps, both 2D and 3D design. I use it everyday heavily. It scrolls so smoothly. The battery lasts a pretty good amount of time. Not, obviously, as long as my MacBook, but a decent amount for a tablet that is getting heavy use with art based apps. Internet surfing is a dream with this. Watching videos is spectacular, and don’t get me started on the speakers. The sound is insane. The screen is beautiful. Very rich vibrant colors and crystal clear. I can sit this down in any room and have no need for external speakers. I can’t even explain how good the sound is coming from this iPad and how gorgeous the picture is. This is my favorite Apple product ever. In fact, it is my favorite of any kind. I got the Magic Keyboard case and the Apple Pencil II with it, and the sky is the limit. I also have a USB adapter with an HDMI port for connecting with my 4K monitor. This iPad is awesome as a standalone product as well. The screen has more real estate than most laptops close to its size. For the price, I don’t think it gets any better than this. Love love love.

Originally got this 12.9 PRO (latest gen) as an upgrade to an iPAD PRO 10.5 (2018) and I love this tablet. I have decided to keep my 10.5 anyway so it has become a 2nd system for me, viewing movies on the 12.9 is really awesome. It has a much smaller footprint than the old 12.9 because Apple has incorporated the home button onto the screen. For those who are used to having a manual home button rather than a virtual home button, don’t let that minor thing deter you. You won’t even notice the difference. However, you will notice how much larger real estate your screen will have VS the old version of 12.9 PRO. Also the tablet itself is slightly smaller than the old 12.9, go figure. The screen displays a sharp image, the audio is much more superior on the PRO models than the other Apple models. It weighs only 1.41 ounces so it’s not that heavy, it is still very much portable. Side note, when I bought my 10.5, I had previously been using a laptop for all my home business (online banking, shopping, financials, movie viewing, etc.) and since I got my 10.5 PRO, I have not had a need to even have a laptop, no kidding. Highly recommend the new 12.9 PRO and the Magic Keyboard. Yes they are pricey, but worth every penny and you will be glad you splurged on this tablet.

I have owed iPads since their initial release 10 years ago. Some have been better than others meanwhile some stand head and shoulders about the crowd. The 2020 iPad Pro 12.9 is the latter. It is absolutely the best iPad ever and the best tablet on the planet. Only a small upgrade from 2018 model the upgrades are where it counts, the CPU and the graphics processor. This thing is lightning fast. I have yet find any application that even starts to slow it down from games to photo editing. Battery life is good for an entire day of working or playing without recharging. The iPad Pro 2020 has a much needed USB-C connector for charging and adding accessories. You can even use a USB-C dock to connect multiple devices at one time. Sound quality is the best of any mobile device that I have tried whether you use the built in speakers or headphones. With the right headphones the sound quality is as good as your home receiver with headphones. Is it expensive? Yes but if you want the best tablet you can get that will still be usable several years down the road then it's worth every penny.

Apple did a great job on this iPad. The iPad is really light and easy to hold onto, it's fast, has a nice camera, face recognition works really well, etc. I'm really glad I got the 12.9in because I purchased a keyboard with trackpad that turns the iPad into a laptop.

Fast processor, sharp brilliant colors and excellent battery life. There is nothing not to like about the latest iPad. The camera has much better resolution than my 2-year-old MacBookPro so I prefer using the iPad for Zoom conferences over the MacBook or iPhone.

Overall: The newest generation of 12.9 iPad Pro is a great device for a very specific group of customers. However, the cost is very high for what it is for most people. The stylus is $130 and the "best keyboard" is $350 raising the base price even higher. For the money, for most people including students, I would stick with the iPad air or just the iPad, both of which offer you almost identical interface options (with an arguably better biometric unlock, i.e. touch id) and they are as fast at most basic tasks like web browsing, note-taking, watching videos, etc.. Which is what the majority of people want an iPad for. SCREEN: the screen is great with nice colors, however, even in this newer edition, there is no competition when compared to the AMOLED screens used by other competing tablets, which offer much better blacks and hdr colors. I would hope for the exorbitant cost they would include the best screen type (fingers crossed for micro-led in the future). Battery Life: During constant use (Netflix, web browsing, and light picture editing), I averaged around 7 hours of use with no power-saving features turned on. So I would say it is very reasonable for battery life. POWER: The power of the device is very high for video editing and software editing (with specific apps). However, for other uses, the software is a major limitation. For instance, if you are trying to compress video files, the app's that can handle that do not effectively use the hardware on the iPad. I found my i5 Macbook Pro from 2016 was multitudes faster using a desktop application for the exact same file. So overall though it is claimed that the Ipad pro is as powerful as most laptops the HUGE amendment to that statement is if you use very specific applications for very specific tasks. The software limitations depending on your use will still make this a non-starter for more professional applications. DRAWING: Using the stylus is hands down an awesome experience, in the hands of a real artist they could create wonderful things with it. The stylus is easy to use and I love the fact that it charges on the side of the device, and it stays on the side (which I thought was by far the largest weakness of the gen 1 stylus). FEEL: The device is light in your hands and is comfortable to use. The build quality is very nice and does not feel cheap at all. The touch screen is intuitive and nice. Though the taskbar on the bottom takes getting used to in order to summon it when you want it.

I’ve always been a skeptic of the iPad Pro wondering what justified the price tag thinking that it was just a larger iPhone, but having it a few days, I know understand it is an absolute powerhouse for multi-tasking and keeps up, if not beats my 2019 27” 5k iMac. It keeps up and is faster than a lot of computers out there today, and I’m doing 3D CAD design using sharpr3d and I leave other apps open at the same time. Even the geek bench scores prove. Only thing I’d improve or want is an OLED screen or more than 6gb of ram. Aside from that, the 12.9” screen is absolutely impressive as well. The amount of power that apple packs into a paper-thin and ultralight piece of aluminum and glass is amazing. Pair this with their smart folio keyboard, and Microsoft’s surface tablet is no competition. I also forgot to mention that the Apple Pencil (2nd generation is the one I own), is miles above any stylus out there. Practically no latency and the accuracy of pressure and gestures is awesome.

I have had my iPad for a couple years now and I love it today as much as I did from day one. Its battery life is great still, and the screen is very vibrant. I enjoy drawing and reading on my iPad.

Upgraded to the Pro 12.9 from the ipad air. Much faster and the screen is much more brighter than the Air. Loads faster and the sound is so much better than the Air. Bigger screen but not too heavy to carry around.

I’ve had this for almost 2 years and used it for school. It’s great quality. I am able to do plenty of things on it and able to see it on my iPhone as well. Easy to use

Very pleased with our purchase and, no issue setting it up. Ordered on line from Best Buy, it only took just a few days to receive it and we received it on the day it was do to arrive. Happy with the screen size, speed, quality of the photos from the camera, and the magic keyboard and mouse from our iMac desk top computer that we did not use for the computer setup easily with no issues connecting. We went with the Targus case “model THZ775GL-53” and it fits perfect. Camera cutout fit is correct for the 4th generation 2020. The iPad sits down inside the case so it protects the sides of the iPad, the buttons all work freely, it’s a light weight case, and holds the pen secure enough.

We all have iPad Pros in my family and you can really tell the differences from each generation, I really like the extra 6gb of ram from heavy application being able to use the extra ram to the cpu/gpu improved to the battery life whit out it need it to be charging on heavy use after a heavy task the battery management is a big improvement , the camera take amazing photos you can appreciate taking photos on the iPad and being able to see more details and it can cure your photos/ enhance all your photos wen Is on the charger now you can't take this iPad every place like the Iphone so most of my photos are taken on my iPhone but it is a amazing upgrade in every way from previous generation.
