I was very impressed by the large 12.9" display and smooth 120Hz ProMotion technology. The nearly bezel-less design looks great and premium. Touch ID is fast and convenient. The four speakers sound full and rich. The A10X chip makes the iPad feel faster than it is, pushing iOS very smoothly. - Nick Ackerman |

It's a powerful tablet with stellar visuals and audio. But the extra-large size may make the 10.5" model a better fit for most users wanting a more portable iPad Pro. The 12.9" is best suited if you primarily need the biggest screen possible. - PhoneArena |

The overall rating is based on review by our dedicated team and users.
Apple recently launched its updated 12.9-inch iPad Pro. This 2017 iPad Pro model brings some nice upgrades while keeping the best parts of the previous version.
The 12.9-inch screen is very big and looks great. Images and videos appear sharp and clear.
The display also refreshes 120 times per second, which makes scrolling and motions very smooth. The nearly borderless design gives it a modern, premium look.
Four built-in speakers make music, movies and games sound full and loud. The speakers deliver clearer audio than older iPad models.
Apple's A10X processing chip makes the iPad feel fast. Switching between apps is fluid. New multitasking features allow you to view two apps side-by-side.
Battery life is strong at nearly 11 hours of use. The rear camera captures sharp, vivid photos like an iPhone.
A fingerprint scanner allows quick, secure login using Touch ID.
The Apple Pencil stylus is supported for drawing and taking notes. The large screen gives plenty of room to sketch or write.
The huge 12.9-inch size reduces portability and makes it hard to use as a handheld tablet. It works best when placed on a flat surface.
As an older 2017 model, it may struggle with handling large creative files compared to newer iPad Pro versions.
Some issues were reported connecting the 1st generation Apple Pencil.
The 12.9-inch iPad Pro comes at a premium price point. The smaller 10.5-inch Pro model offers better value and portability for many buyers.
In the end, the 12.9-inch iPad Pro is best suited for users who need the largest screen possible. It delivers strong speed and performance.
For most users, the smaller Pro model is likely the better choice.
