Review: The iPad Pro 2020 was overshadowed by the launch of the Magic Keyboard accessory, but this high-end tablet has plenty going for it.
Fantastic display;Lovely design;Great add-ons;Loud, detailed speakers;iPad apps keeps on getting better
Minimal upgrades from the previous version;Battery life upgrades would be welcome;As a package it gets very expensive
Expert review by : David Lumb (techradar.com)
The iPad Pro 2020 12.9-inch is still a powerful and impressive tablet, even after being surpassed by the M1 chipset-packing iPad Pro 2021.
Lovely sleek design Awesome screen and speakers for media Powerful performance
Expensive No longer the fastest for its price Necessary external keyboard adds more cost
The iPad Pro 2020 is a powerful tablet with the capability to effortlessly run even demanding apps, and it’s also an excellent device on which to play media, thanks to its impressive display and speakers. Unless you find it at a discount the...

If you're looking for an all-new iPad, this isn't it – it's a few steps forward, but doesn't add a huge amount.
Powerful innards Now brings mouse support
New LiDAR functionality is limited Still can't rival a laptop in many ways
The new iPad Pro 2020 is another impressive tablet – but so were the models from 2018. Those devices were powerful, capable and had a multitude of improvements to the technology, and the latest iPad Pro has all of that too; however, apart from a small...

The 2018 model was the revolution, for 2020 it's nips, tucks, and business as usual.
Lovely screen and smooth performance ; USB-C more practical for accessories ; Trackpad support (and incoming Magic Keyboard) make for a true laptop replacement ; LiDAR sensor adds future potential
LiDAR app support is few and far between ; Doesn't feel much faster than 2018 model ; Your Lightning accessories won't work (it's USB-C)
The 2018 model was the revolution, for 2020 it’s nips and tucks, meaning business as usual.

The best iPad ever made just got even better
Excellent screen and beautifully realised design ; Superb speaker system and surprisingly good mics ; Peerless and versatile app and accessories ecosystem ; Revamped camera is a meaningful improvement
Pricey — not least when you add accessories ; 12.9in model weighty for long tablet sessions ; Screen remains a fingerprint magnet and borderline unusable outdoors
2018’s iPad Pro was the best tablet money could buy — and this one’s even better. Just don’t expect a revolution this time.

Paired with the Magic Keyboard, Apple's 12.9in tablet has the potential to be a game-changer.
Expert review by : Victoria Woollaston (RadioTimes.com)
It's pretty, powerful and pricey as hell but the new iPad Pro 12.9-inch (2021) just can't be beaten.
Lightning fast ; Built for working and creative tasks ; Bright, sharp and vibrant display ; Easy to setup and use, especially for existing Apple customers ; Beautiful design with easy-to-use controls ; Apple Pencil adds serious productivity credentials
Expensive, especially if you want decent storage ; Chunky – which dents its portability somewhat

The most expensive and most ambitious iPad yet
iPadOS and Magic Keyboard make fantastic combination ; Class-leading UI ; Gorgeous display
Minimal performance improvements over 2018 model
Expert review by : Kenny Yeo (hardwarezone.com.sg)
We check out Apple's newest flagship tablet.
Class-leading performance ; Thin and light ; Gorgeous display ; Best implementation of Face ID ; Lidar scanner looks promising ; Excellent accessories ; Great sound for a tablet
Really pricey ; Accessories are sold separately ; Accessories are pricey ; iPadOS has a learning curve ; No headphone jack
Expert review by (engadget.com)
The 2020 iPad Pro is a terrific tablet that, thanks to features like trackpad support and some under-the-hood tweaks, comes closer than ever to feeling like a traditional computer. It doesn't quite get there because of some inherent iPadOS limitations,...
Strong performance ; LiDAR could be an AR game-changer ; Mostly elegant trackpad support ; Base model now has more storage
Ultra-wide camera not as good as main ; Some apps need to be trackpad-optimized ; Still no headphone jack ; Hardware doesn't feel dramatically updated
If you already splurged on the last iPad Pro, feel free to move on with your day: You're not missing much. Yes, the new Pro is mildly faster at certain tasks, but I wouldn't call the difference palpable. The additional ultra-wide camera is helpful if...
