Best iPad I have ever owned

I was never a fan of the iPads with a large screen. I always used to limit myself to 10 inch display size. Recently I was just roaming around in BestBuy and happened to play around with a 12.9 inch iPad that was on display. I instantly fell in love with it. I liked the design with thin bezels. Due to the thin bezels, the overall size of this iPad is slightly larger than my old 10.5 inch iPad Pro. The large screen looks gorgeous. It almost feels like a MacBook rather than an iPad. Best Buy had a great discount on iPad and I used the discount amount to purchase a Smart Keyboard Folio and an Apple Pencil 2. They go very well with this iPad. I always used to have an external keyboard with my old iPads but it never felt as convenient as the Smart Keyboard Folio. I highly recommend this iPad to anyone who is on a lookout for a premium tablet.

I am extremely satisfied with my purchase. The only difference between this one and the latest is the dual camera which is something I did not need for $300 more dollars when I already have the latest iPhone that I use when I need a camera. According to Apple there are no other differences. I am a nursing student and I have my books, notes, & everything else I need on this one device & now I don’t have to carry so many things to school. I can study & not have to check my phone every minute since it’s all connected, and I get excellent quality when on calls. It’s amazing and the best investment I have made. I use it for absolutely everything. It was everything I expected and more.

The best iPad Pro I have ever had. The pictures and the colors are extremely vivid and clear. The videos I take with that are excellent. Very handy in checking email,and Messages. I am able to check into hotels and airlines as I travel. It’s a pleasure to have and to enjoy the advancement in technology every day.

I've been a freelance artist for over 10 years. I've always used wacom tablets, went to college for animation, ect ect. My partner and I bought the older model a year ago and it's been so amazing that we literally had to haggle over who get's to use it so I decided to buy a second one.
I'm not really a fan of apple products otherwise, however I am obsessed with this product. The ipadpro is great for drawing and very portable. It's lighter and thinner than it's older model and the magnetic pen is a godsend, I never have to intentionally charge my pen ever again and no worry about loosing the cap like the old pen.
I can't see a difference in quality between drawing on my computer and drawing on the ipad. The difference is now I can work wherever I want which is great for conventions or just getting out of the house.
It is expensive and I used my BestBuy card to buy it, but it was worth it.

I have been using this device for one year. product has many excellent futures.
120 Hz screen is one of the best features. and its weight is nice.
if you get an Apple keyboard it could be the best bundle.

Solid iPad love the colors and the easy functionality of using it. The last iPad the wife had broke, and that’s because she dropped it and somehow cracked the screen. Got it fixed and now I don’t think she knows what she did with it. This one she keeps with her on a regular, but she’s happy with it and that’s all that matter.

It’s one stop solution for creative people. You can carry it with you wherever you’d like. The battery is good to go. The screen is big enough for your creative projects. Still using the 3rd generation and it works completely fine. The storage is also great. The Apple Pencil makes is more easy to work and draw.
If you want to use it for other purposes like email, excel, Microsoft or any other app it still works wonders. It’s a mini handy laptop.one gadget that you shouldn’t miss at all. It’s even good for entertainment, while you are travelling. You can download movies or even games. So all in one.
Baught it from Best buy Greek Sqad never had any issues with the product, definitely buy all your electronics from best buy. Great deals and discounts.

I only use Android phones, but i had tried iPad's in the past because of the fact that Apple optimizes its apps for the iPad unlike Android tablets, but there was always an issue with google apps on the iPad in the past, so i used my Samsung Tab s2 for 3 years and then decided to give this iPad pro a go, after using it for a month I was having a good experience with the google apps like Play Books and Play Music so i decided i was keeping this iPad and unfortunately sold my Samsung tab s2 ,just a little over three months in and now the iPad has a horizontal line running from one edge to the other at the bottom of the screen, and i will have to get in repaired or replaced under warranty, but this really makes me question Apple's Over hyped quality I'm always hearing about, I already had to be super cautious about where I stored this iPad because of how easily it bends, and even after babying it with cases and glass screen protectors suddenly a line appeared on the screen now I hope Apple doesn't take too long to repair it or replace it because I depend on my tablets.

It seemed I was sent an item that was either refurbished or open boxed. It came with scratches and sticky residue on the back. Unacceptable

Hesitant at First, Glad I Got One

I was hesitant to get an Ipad Pro because I have a Macbook Pro, an Iphone, an Ipad mini, and just about every other Apple device you can have. I thought it would just be overkill to have one of these. I ended up somehow justifying getting one and I’m so glad I did. Here’s what I use it for:
1. Note taking:
I love taking notes on this with the Apple Pencil. Great writing experience. Looks like I wrote on paper. Some apps like Notability will even transcribe your writing into text (and even pretty accurately too!)
2. Mobile Use:
I bring this everywhere I used to bring my Macbook and now leave my MBP home as a house computer. It’s super light and takes up hardly and bag space. I created a VPN and use Document apps to access all my files on my MBP at home. I have the Folio Case which is great when I want to use the Ipad as a monitor and pair it with the Apple Magic Keyboard which is light, portable, and has keys I prefer over the Smart Folio case. I don’t code anymore and don’t do any video editing so I cannot attest to that. But everything else has replaced my MBP. The battery on this is phenomenal, I can typically use it for a couple days regularly without needing to charge, but it’ll still last all day if I use it heavily.
3. Home Use:
Whenever I am home, I use my Ipad like I used to use my phone. My phone now just sits on the charger until I go out because I prefer the Ipad. Watching content or browsing the internet or social media is just better on the big screen. The screen is also beautiful. For some reason, the photos and Facetimes taken on the Ipad are significantly clearer than my Iphone X (or so people tell me when we Facetime). Another feature that doesn’t get a lot of attention that I like is that it can work as a second monitor for your computer and you can use touch or your computer’s mouse for interactions.
All in all, I was extremely hesitant to get this as I thought it was frivolous. In many ways, it is. But it defiantly exceeded my expectations and it has been a great addition to my Apple Ecosystem.
Recommendations:
If you’re on a budget, you definitely don’t need this. There is nothing I can do now that I could not do before. This product just enhances all the things I have been doing in the past.
Tips:
1. Invest in Airpods if you have one of these. The Earpods (wired) you get have USB-C, but holding the Ipad with these connected is awkward. Also, if you don’t have USB-C headphones, the USB-C -> Headphone Jack is so small and annoying to keep track of, Ive lost 2 in the month I’ve had the IPad.
2. Getting a MBP higher Watt charger is a good idea. I got the 87W MBP Charger and it charges this thing so fast.

12.9 Inch iPad Pro 2018 worth the Price Tag

It took me a while to decide if I should upgrade my laptop or iPad as there are many options out there from tablet, ultrabook, surface pro, to laptop with processor i7 or 256 GB SSD. Since I have a work laptop and a personal laptop, the best way to go for my daily use is to upgrade my iPad. Also, because I have a iPad 9.7 already, I decide to get the newest iPad 12.9 as Apple products last for many years to come. Face recognition, big screen for internet searching and movie watching on an international flight, fast speed, long battery life, and light weight/thin design are worth the hefty price tag. I’m very happy with this newest Apple product!

I was on the fence on getting the latest apple iPad. I have the MacBook Pro and an iPhone- so I am definitely an apple fan. The great part of this iPad is that it is super sleek and sexy. The screen is SUPER DEFINED the richness is there (even with a screen protector), the sound quality is superb as well because there are speakers on the top and bottom and somehow the sound syncs to what you are watching and adjusts where the sound comes from (motorcycle coming from left to right- you can hear and tell the difference). I am a college student and the main reason I got it was to be able to use it in class and take notes directly on my professor's lecture slides. It's light and also a smaller tablet (but same screen size) as the older generation's making it perfect for taking to class.
Literally the only downside is the price :/ it costs so much...

Our family has purchased five iPads over the years, going back to 2011. While we are happy with all of them, this one is in a class above all the rest. It of course works flawlessly and seamlessly with all our Apple devices, but it’s faster than any of them, even current iPhones. It’s beautiful, the battery life puts our phones to shame, and it’s in the sweet spot for size. Legit, it’s a great device, and we love it — kids and adults. We fight over it! :-)

This 12.9” iPad Pro is perfect in every way. The screen is so crisp and beautiful. The four speakers, even though the device is so thin, sound great. The processor is powerful, extremely powerful and would be a better computer than all those Windows machine garbage boxes. It is very versatile and lightweight. Just about anything you need to do on a screen, this can do it. The addition of portrait and landscape FaceID is very welcomed and convenient.

This is the perfect size Ipad Pro - slim line, easy to navigate and exceptional speed. I use it everyday. At home or on the go. It is lightweight enough for tagging along in a small bookbag. the camera is amazing. I am just getting started in learning all the great features of the Ipad Pro 12.9 Apple products takes the lead in technology.
