The 2020 Pro has gotten a bump up in its networking. The good news is that the iPad Pro has USB-C power delivery, and will work with faster chargers such as the MacBook's.

I'm disappointed in the 18W charger that comes with the iPad, though: It took 2 hours and 40 minutes to reach a full charge. Apple generally assumes you'll use the device at half brightness, which can almost double the battery life-think of it as 11 to 12 hours at that level. In the 12.9-inch size, that will run you $1,557-about the price of a new 13-inch MacBook Pro with 256GB of storage.Īpple's new iPad Pro has trackpad support and LiDAR scannerįor battery life, I got 7 hours, 48 minutes of video streaming at full brightness over Wi-Fi, which is good for an iPad.

You can upgrade storage in three steps, as far as 1TB for another $400 4G LTE connectivity adds $150 and then it's $179 to $199 for the standard keyboard case $299 to $349 for a keyboard with a trackpad and $129 for the Pencil. The absolute base model 12.9-inch unit, with Wi-Fi and 128GB of storage, costs $999. Pricing and DesignĪs I reviewed the new 12.9-inch iPad, I kept running into the roadblock of its towering price. But I can't shake the idea that if you can afford to spend this much on an Apple device, you're better off with a Mac. And the 2020 iPad Pro is gorgeous, superbly built, and powerful. Of course, the iPad line does a lot of things that a Mac or PC doesn't: Apple's Pencil stylus and its approach to augmented reality applications are leaps and bounds beyond the competition, at least if you aren't into getting a bulky add-on drawing tablet for your computer. That vaults the tablet into working a lot more like a computer than it previously did.
