I was initially very impressed with the new 12.9" iPad Pro and its powerful hardware, including the stunning Mini-LED display. After using it for a while, however, I realized that Apple's software limitations prevent it from reaching its full potential. Even with the latest iPadOS 15 update, basic file management and connectivity features are still lacking compared to a laptop. - Max Tech |

I think the 12.9-inch 2021 iPad Pro has amazing hardware, including the stunning new mini-LED display. Blacks look truly black and it hits up to 1600 nits brightness in HDR mode, making movies look incredible. The M1 chip brings more speed and new features like Thunderbolt support. However, iPadOS limitations still frustrate me. Basic file management and multitasking features are lacking compared to a laptop. - The Verge |

I find the new 12.9-inch 2021 iPad Pro's mini-LED display to be absolutely stunning. It offers incredible contrast that borders on OLED quality with richer, more saturated colors. HDR video looks shockingly good thanks to much brighter highlights and deeper blacks. The blooming issues some worry about don't bother me in real world use. The M1 chip brings a nice speed boost. But iPadOS limitations still frustrate me at times. - MobileTechReview |

Pros: - The iPad Pro 12.9-inch (2021) boasts impressive hardware, featuring the powerful M1 chip and a stunning mini-LED display. - The M1 chip provides a significant speed boost, making the iPad Pro the fastest tablet available. - The iPad Pro features a capable camera setup, including a 12 MP main camera and a 12 MP front camera, allowing for high-quality photos and videos. - The design is sleek and premium, with a thin profile and aluminum build. Cons: - iPadOS limitations on file management and multitasking - Restrictions prevent apps from taking full advantage of powerful hardware - Not a full laptop replacement for most people |
Apple recently released an updated 12.9-inch iPad Pro tablet that features some truly impressive hardware upgrades. Most notably, the 2021 iPad Pro introduces a beautiful new mini-LED display that offers deeper blacks and richer colors. Combined with Apple's super-fast new M1 processing chip, the iPad Pro delivers excellent performance for a tablet.
However, there are still some important limitations in place that prevent the iPad Pro from rivaling a true laptop replacement for most consumers. The iPadOS software puts restrictions on what the powerful hardware can actually do.
Stunning New Display
The 2021 iPad Pro unveils Apple's new mini-LED technology on a tablet for the first time. With 2,500 local dimming zones, it gives the screen incredible contrast and brightness. Photos, videos, and games will really pop thanks to this advanced display.
M1 Chip Sets New Standard for Tablet Speed
Apple's M1 chip used in latest MacBooks provides a big speed boost here too. The 8-core CPU and 8-core GPU give the iPad Pro way more processing muscle for multitasking and high-end apps. It benchmarks as the fastest tablet ever made.
Camera, Design and Battery Life All Impress
You'll also get capable 12MP front + rear cameras, 10 hours of battery life, Thunderbolt support and the same premium aluminum design. An excellent tablet package overall.
But Software Restrictions Persist
However, Apple still intentionally limits the iPad Pro experience through iPadOS restrictions. File management and external display support remains clumsy compared to MacBooks. And the M1 chip's true potential gets blocked by limits on what apps can utilize.
