I have owned many tablets from Asus Transformers to the iPad 2 to the Pixel C. This iPad Pro is the best tablet I've had yet, and I'm very glad to have made the purchase. INTRODUCTION: I want to preface this review by mentioning that compared to the iPad Air 2 (which I've had the pleasure of using), this device isn't a huge step up. If the additional hardware features (speakers, improved display) aren't important to you, then the iPad Air 2 is still an excellent tablet at a much lower price. BUILD QUALITY (5/5): Once again, Apple does a great job with their Aluminum housing. It feels very durable, while also being very light. Not too heavy to hold in one hand, and it's very thin. I came from a Pixel C and iPad Air 1, and the iPad Pro was definitely the thinnest and had the most comfortable feel. Any thinner than this and it will be a bad thing. SOUND QUALITY (5/5): This definitely has the best sound of any tablet on the market. Apple has always taken sound quality seriously, and it really shows with this model. The onboard headphone jack has great sound from the DAC and amp. It can drive some pretty demanding headphones with excellent clarity. But what you're really wondering about is the four speakers surrounding the edges. This is one of the major reasons I bought this tablet, among all other things. The sound is excellent. While other products tout stereo speakers, they don't do portrait stereo very well, and there's often a lack of bass. The iPad Pro, however, touts excellent volume in such a small device, and can also display a wide range of frequencies. Playing music with bass emphasis really shows how excellent the sound is compared to other tablets. As an audiophile, the iPad Pro definitely scratches my itch. DISPLAY (4/5): The display isn't incredible. Is it great? Sure. But it's not leagues ahead of the game. It's the same resolution as the 2012 iPad 3, for starters. 4 years later, they've made it the brightest screen on any tablet, enhanced the viewing angles, brought the display closer to the glass, and made a true tone display to mimmick the light of the room. With the true-tone disabled, it's more of an accurate display, rather than a vivid, saturated display. Which can be good or bad, depending on what you're looking for. Either way, IPS is good, but rather boring, at this point. APPLE PENCIL (?/5): I have not purchased the Apple Pencil, so I can't really comment on this much, but I have an artist friend who bought the iPad Pro 12.9 and has done some amazing things with it. For artists and creators, the Apple Pencil is a godsend for drawing on a tablet. PERFORMANCE (5/5): This is definitely the snappiest tablet I've had, yet. Multitasking works great, although portrait-mode Split View could be improved. WiFi connectivity is the best on any tablet. The device rarely ever crashes. Overall, far fewer issues when compared to other tablets I've had. TOUCH ID (4/5): This is one area where I think this tablet falls short of my expectations. I have used other fingerprint scanning devices (including an iPhone 5s), and the Touch ID is just a bit flaky at times on this iPad Pro. Don't get me wrong, it's good, but nothing to write home about. My Nexus seems to register more often than my iPad Pro. Not by a lot, but it can sometimes be an annoyance. Don't let that detract you from this device, though. It's just my experience, and your experience may prove to be significantly better than mine. BATTERY (5/5): This is one of the biggest reasons why I have to come back to Apple compared to other tablets. The idle battery life on iPads is insanely good, and has been for years. I primarily use my iPad for browsing the web and a lot of video consumption. I will easily get 9-13 hours of use out of it, depending on my settings. I keep background refresh off to maximize my battery life. APP ECOSYSTEM (5/5): I don't think I need to say much here. Apple has a huge market share of the mobile app ecosystem, and developers often prioritize their Apple versions of apps because owners of iOS devices are usually more willing to pay for Apps. The apps you get on iOS are often higher quality compared to Android, and it's truly unfortunate, as somebody who also enjoys the Android ecosystem on his smartphone. OVERALL: I would buy this product again if it broke. For my needs, it provides the best overall experience, and I'm very satisfied with my purchase.
