Review
OUR VERDICT
The iPad Pro 2020 (12.9 inch) is the best tablet you can buy, with blazing speed, long battery life, improved cameras, and trackpad support. But it’s not a great laptop replacement (yet).
FOR
- Fast A12Z Bionic performance
- Brilliant display
- iPad's new and improved cursor control
- Magic Keyboard actually feels magical
- Long battery life
AGAINST
- Charging cord too short
- Some apps not optimized for the trackpad
- Rear cameras can’t do portraits or Night mode
