Tablets were originally invented to replace computers but that did not happen.In fact it has become an in-between category i.e. between computers and smart phones. Apple launched its very first iPad around 5 years ago which has continuously dominated the market share. But from quite some time it has not been able to create much buzz in the market. Apple now makes a comeback and this time the company might put the markets on fire with its new tablet iPad Pro.The size 12.9 inches makes IPad Pro the biggest iPad ever and hence might be the first iPad to deliver the promise of replacing a computer. The target customers of iPad Pro are corporate professionals, creative individuals into designing and brand faithful customers who have stayed with Apple from the time it was not at the top.
Apple’s iPad Pro has a gorgeous screen with a Retina display having a resolution of 5.6 million pixels which is the highest any iOS device has ever featured. It not only has a big screen but also has a smart keypad and is extremely light. It weighs around 723 grams and is 6.9 mm thick. Some work has been done in order to save battery life despite the big screen. Refresh rate is higher in case of dynamic contents and lower in case of static content, thus reducing battery use. The screen space is not utilized properly and has only few icons on it and thereby giving rise to the need of multiple screens. It is an amazing experience reading a magazine on iPad Pro as its size is close to a magazines size. The 3D touch has been omitted.
The tablet is powered by A9X processor with 64-bit desktop class architecture. It has four speakers at four corners. The speakers at the top reproduces higher frequencies and the ones at the bottom reproduces bass notes. This changes dynamically with the change in orientation. The sound produced is quite clear and loud.
Accessories like Smart Keyboard and an Apple Pencil are provided to try out the iPad Pro. The retail price of iPad Pro is USD $ 1025 (32GB, Wi-Fi); USD $ 1205 (128 GB, Wi-Fi) and USD $ 1386 (128GB, Wi-Fi+4G Cellular). The smart keyboard and Apple Pencil can be bought separately.
