Overall: The newest generation of 12.9 iPad Pro is a great device for a very specific group of customers. However, the cost is very high for what it is for most people. The stylus is $130 and the "best keyboard" is $350 raising the base price even higher. For the money, for most people including students, I would stick with the iPad air or just the iPad, both of which offer you almost identical interface options ( with an arguably better biometric unlock, i.e. touch id) and they are as fast at most basic tasks like web browsing, note-taking, watching videos, etc. Which is what the majority of people want an iPad for. SCREEN: the screen is great with nice colors, however, even in this newer edition, there is no competition when compared to the AMOLED screens used by other competing tablets, which offer much better blacks and hdr colors. I would hope for the exorbitant cost they would include the best screen type ( fingers crossed for micro-led in the future) . Battery Life: During constant use ( Netflix, web browsing, and light picture editing) , I averaged around 7 hours of use with no power-saving features turned on. So I would say it is very reasonable for battery life. POWER: The power of the device is very high for video editing and software editing ( with specific apps) . However, for other uses, the software is a major limitation. For instance, if you are trying to compress video files, the app’s that can handle that do not effectively use the hardware on the iPad. I found my i5 Macbook Pro from 2016 was multitudes faster using a desktop application for the exact same file. So overall though it is claimed that the Ipad pro is as powerful as most laptops the HUGE amendment to that statement is if you use very specific applications for very specific tasks. The software limitations depending on your use will still make this a non-starter for more professional applications. DRAWING: Using the stylus is hands down an awesome experience, in the hands of a real artist they could create wonderful things with it. The stylus is easy to use and I love the fact that it charges on the side of the device, and it stays on the side ( which I thought was by far the largest weakness of the gen 1 stylus) . FEEL: The device is light in your hands and is comfortable to use. The build quality is very nice and does not feel cheap at all. The touch screen is intuitive and nice. Though the taskbar on the bottom takes getting used to in order to summon it when you want it.
so it is a good product
