Apple iPad Pro Review Compilation

[dgstorm]

There are already a ton of reviews across the web for Apple's latest creation, the iPad Pro. Apple's 12.9 inch version of the iconic iPad is winning solid accolades and praise, yet most of the reviewers do not think it is a "must have" item. For the most part, the giant new iPad is being compared to laptops, and unsurprisingly comes up short in that regard. With the iOS software, there is only so much you can do without a dedicated physical keyboard.

Despite that shortcoming, Apple has crafted a device with their usual high quality and impressive functionality. While it might not be the "laptop-killer" that Apple hopes it will be, it is still an impressive device and could be very useful for folks who crave an iPad with a larger display. Here's a smattering of links to the various reviews across the web for the new Apple iPad Pro:

• The Verge
• Mashable
• The Wall Street Journal
• Wired
• ArsTechnica
• CNET
• TechCrunch
• Bloomberg
• Yahoo

Thanks for the links. I am waiting expectantly for reviews of how well the Apple Pencil works on the Pro with such apps as GoodNotes. All the online reviews I have seen are either very lightweight or are oriented toward artistic applications.

I would like to know how it performs in taking notes and doing math. Is there a lag between tge stroke and the inking, is there any offset between nib and inked point, etc. These things have plagued other "active" styluses.

The MacStories review should be worth reading too. Federico Viticci does almost everything for his site using an iPad, so he'll have a different take than most. I haven't read it yet myself, but It's on my reading list.

This one suggests that the iPad Pro isn't for everyone, and its really really big:
