A high-end tablet should have a premium build quality, be speedy, have well-optimized apps, and be able to transition into a laptop when needed. It’s a tall order for one tablet to check all those boxes, but the iPad Pro manages to do that.
The 2021 12.9-inch iPad Pro is one of the only two iPads in Apple’s lineup with a stunning miniLED screen and it has a high-refresh rate of 120Hz. It offers great visuals, making it ideal for gaming and admiring your pretty Pinterest boards.
It boasts the M1 chip and is faster than many laptops you can buy today. So whether you are obsessively googling something and have a dozen browser tabs open, playing intensive games, or working from your tablet instead of your desktop, the iPad Pro will keep up with your demands.
It also has Face ID for quick user authentication and a LiDAR Scanner with depth-sensing capabilities.
The model on sale supports 5G, so you won’t have to worry about finding an internet connection when you are out.
The 128GB 12.9-inch M1 iPad Pro costs $1,299 but Amazon has slashed $400 off its price. While that still doesn’t make it cheap, don’t forget that this is more of an ultraportable laptop with a touch screen.
Since Apple is rumored to announce new iPads in May, you might consider waiting until then before making a purchase. That said, the new iPad Pros are rumored to be more expensive than the current models, meaning 5G-enabled variants might cost more than $1,299.
