After spending over 8 hours watching video reviews comparing the 11-inch and 13-inch iPads, the general consensus was to go with the smaller one. I couldn’t disagree more—and I’m so glad I trusted my instincts! The 13-inch iPad M4 with 256GB storage has completely blown me away.
Let’s start with the screen: the tandem OLED display is, hands down, the most stunning display I’ve ever seen on any device. The level of detail, vibrant colors, and contrast are absolutely mesmerizing. Whether I’m streaming content, editing photos, or simply browsing the web, it feels like I’m interacting with a cinematic masterpiece. The extra real estate makes multitasking an absolute dream—you can have multiple apps open and still enjoy a seamless experience. Once you go big, there’s no going back!
Storage? 256GB is more than enough for my needs. I’ve loaded it up with apps, files, and media, and there’s still plenty of room to spare. Sure, there are bigger storage options out there, but with iCloud integration and the growing number of cloud-based apps, 256GB strikes the perfect balance between performance and practicality.
And then there’s power. The M4 chip handles everything I throw at it with ease. From intensive creative work to gaming and everything in between, it’s lightning-fast and whisper-quiet. Paired with the incredible battery life, this iPad has quickly become my go-to device for work, play, and everything else.
To those who say the 11-inch is the better choice: I challenge you to spend a week with the 13-inch and tell me you don’t feel differently. The immersive experience, productivity boost, and sheer joy of using this larger display cannot be overstated. This is, without question, the most amazing iPad I’ve ever owned.

I recently got the iPad Pro 13-inch M4, and it’s nothing short of amazing! The size is perfect—huge, but not overwhelming—and it feels incredibly thin and light for something so powerful. The speakers are an absolute game-changer: crisp, loud, and immersive, making everything from music to movies sound incredible.
As a content creator, I’ve been blown away by how easy and fun it is to create with this iPad. The M4 chip keeps everything running smoothly, whether I’m editing videos, sketching, or multitasking with multiple apps. The display is stunning, and it brings my projects to life with vibrant colors and sharp details.
Overall, the iPad Pro 13-inch M4 is a must-have for anyone looking for a portable yet powerful device. It’s sleek, functional, and delivers an exceptional experience. Worth every penny!

Don’t know where to start, I’ve never bought myself something THIS expensive, other than a ps5 and my iPhone 12 Pro Max. I bought the logitech keyboard/case for this baby too and I’m so in love. I’ve had NO problems or complaints, other than it being TOO big, but we all know.. that’s not a problem (; I love my iPad, the battery life, picture, performance, colors, speed, everything about this device is perfect. I had a laptop in the past that was gifted to me when I went to college, and that was an amazing device, but this thing can easily replace a lot of laptops that are out there. I’m going to be getting the Apple Magic Keyboard next, that’s what I really want to complete my set up. Having both amazing keyboards to be able to use on my baby will be awesome. Logitech for travel, and Magic Keyboard for safe places, like home or grandma’s crib.

The 13-inch iPad Pro with the M4 chip is a beast! I’ve been using it for a bit, and at $1,299, it’s a splurge but feels like a mini laptop. It’s crazy thin and super light, making it easy to carry around. The new OLED screen is gorgeous—colors pop, blacks are deep, and it’s perfect for watching movies or sketching. The M4 chip is lightning-fast; I’ve been editing photos and playing games Battery life is solid, lasting me a full day of work and Netflix.

I recentley purchased the iPad Pro M4, and it has exceeded all my expectations! The M4 chip is incredibly fast, handling everything from multitasking to high-end graphic design with ease. The display is stunning—vivid colors, incredible detail, and buttery-smooth refresh rates make it perfect for streaming, gaming, and creative work.
The build quality feels premium, and the battery life is outstanding, lasting me all day even with heavy use. Pairing it with the Apple Pencil has transformed how I take notes and sketch, and it’s responsive with zero lag. This iPad is truly a game-changer for anyone looking to elevate their productivity or entertainment experience. Highly recommend!”
Feel free to customize it further based on your experiences!

Absolutely loved the new apple iPad Pro. The thinness and weight is astonishing. The M4 chip is beautiful! When you do photo/video editing the M4 performs at its best. Allowing faster renders and better quality. This new iPad also allows AI assistance on final cut pro, Logic Pro, and many more things. Even if you are just watching movies or doing the simple things this is STILL the BEST option. The OLED display allows for purer and richer colors than the old iPad. The brightness is astonishing. And let me say the speakers are INSANE! It can produce quite a large sound. I was very pleased with Apple’s achievements on this project. very well done! I’d give it 10/10 stars if i could!

Replaced an older Air (that still works!) to do graphics work. So thin, so fast, so capable... I call her Misty!
The battery life is good but not amazing, when doing constant graphics work.
With the big screen and super thin design I was nervous about its durability but a good case helps.
Apple is pricey but a good investment.

I recently upgraded to the new 13-inch iPad Pro with the M4 chip, and it has completely transformed how I work and unwind. From the moment I picked it up, I was impressed by how incredibly thin and light it is—yet it feels premium and sturdy.
The performance is absolutely next-level. Apps launch instantly, multitasking is seamless, and even heavy tasks like video editing or graphic design run without a hitch. The new Ultra Retina XDR display is stunning—colors are vivid, blacks are deep, and the detail is insane whether I’m editing photos or streaming 4K content.
Battery life has also been great. I can go through an entire day of work, video calls, and entertainment without worrying about charging. Plus, the Apple Pencil (Pro) and Magic Keyboard make it feel like a complete laptop replacement for me.
If you’re on the fence, this iPad Pro is definitely worth it—whether you’re a creative professional, student, or just want the best tablet experience out there. Best Buy made the purchase smooth and easy too. Highly recommend!

I traded my 5th gen M1 iPad 12.9 in for this one, and I have to say it’s a big improvement. Just the difference in weight and bulk makes it worthwhile upgrading. In addition, the 1000/1600 nits of brightness that this one offers is a game changer when you’re trying to view the screen in sunlight. Not everyone does, but I use mine for work reasons and find myself in sunny conditions trying to read the screen more often than not. The OLED screen is a nice added bonus, too. I put the Otterbox Defender Pro case on it and it’s a nice way to protect it (including the expensive screen). Very happy…

I recently upgrade from the 12.9 in M1 iPad Pro to the 13in M4 iPad Pro.
At first I was nervous about how thin the device was and if I was going to damage it but I didn’t have anything to worry about. This iPad is my every day driver and works like an absolute dream. I use it at work and for things at home. I never need to worry about charging this iPad during the day because of the insane battery life. With the accessories that I had with the 12.9 iPad, I knew I wanted it for the 13 model. The price was a little scary but so so worth it. I wish i would have done this upgrade sooner.

Honest review from an android user
This is the best tablet that I've tried ever, have the perfect size to work comfortably and to enjoy content, is better tha than any android or windows tablet, but consider that if you looking to use as a laptop you gotta find some limitations, but this device is powerful enough to do any job, if you are gamer you gotta enjoy this ipad everything is smoth and the oled screen looks beautiful if you going to play remote this device doesn't have any lag i used to play remote ps5 and goes perfect better than my ps portal, the only cons is thay is impossible used with one hand you need to use a stand, the system is limited by apple because this divice is powerful enough to use as a laptop but is limited by the software.

As someone who doesn’t use a computer outside of work, this iPad is essentially my primary ‘desktop.’ I love the portability of this device and it’s crazy to think that this is the THINNEST Apple device to date! Oh yeah, and it’s OLED. I plan on using this model for the foreseeable future, as my last Pro model had lasted 8 years and still had great performance.

I had the 13” which was amazing, but found it to be less portable than I needed it to be. I returned to best buy (super easy) and exchanged for the 11” pro. This thing is notnonly super powerful but it is super portable. It isnsuper lightweight and slim and give me the ability to draw anywhere when insipiration hits!

The best iPad so far. OLED display is gorgeous. Fast M4 chip to run all the apps. It can easily replace a laptop for basic photo and video editing. Unfortunately, Pro apps are not in their full form, but other than that is enjoyable to have in hands.

With a massive battery and large 13 inch Pro display, iPad Pro 2024 is the best context consumption and creation machine.
Seeing display review can't do justice to how amazing it is in person.
Battery life is great as well, with over 10 hours of screen on time with high brightness + speakers use.
Amazing screen, great for sidecar editing with Mac

Absolutely love this thing. Better screen than any TV or laptop I own - beautiful OLED display. I usually watch TV / movies on it at night instead of our 65" screen - add in some Airpods pro for noise-cancelling and it's a great overall experience. I also use it for work fairly often so it's well-used! Bought this after returning a Microsoft Surface Pro.
