Apple iPad Pro M4 11-inch Wi-Fi 2TB with Nano-Texture Glass - Silver

While this is a perfectly solid upgrade, if you have an iPad Pro from the past three years, you don’t necessarily need it either. The OLED screen is slightly better, but was a bit overhyped in my view. The battery life is the same, which is a disappointment in the context of an OLED screen, where you’d expect improvement. As for the specs, while they’re again perfectly good, if you had an M1 iPad Pro, you’re unlikely to notice unless you do serious work on your iPad. So if you are someone who uses an iPad for serious productive work, this is probably more your speed. If you just use it as a bigger iPhone, consider more carefully before upgrading if you already have a recent iPad Pro.Three more notes: The previous Apple Pencil won’t work with this model, so be ... MoreWhile this is a perfectly solid upgrade, if you have an iPad Pro from the past three years, you don’t necessarily need it either.

It also seems the volume buttons switch when the device is in landscape, and that doesn’t seem to be controllable via Settings, so keep these factors in mind. Lastly, the Face ID camera is on the side, not the top, and that takes some adjustment.

It’s the little details that separate products these days. This tablet offers so many of these details. Incredible typing experience, smoking fast processor, beautiful screen for any and all applications, ultimate portability, excellent speakers, best unlock in the industry, etc. Center stage for video calls, etc. I had a 9th generation base iPad that was a good tablet and value, this takes it to a much higher level. Yes it’s expensive but you truly get what you pay for here. I joined the Best Buy plus membership to basically get my membership free. The perks and added value further make this a no brainer. In context the top of the line 13” is double the cost of the 11” base model. The 11” pro is not base in any way in any configuration. I’m not an apple fan boy but ... MoreIt’s the little details that separate products these days. This tablet offers so many of these details.

I was going to swear off Apple tablets, even tho (before I finally got the tablet I truly wanted) I knew that when it comes to a perfect tablet for most people, the iPad wins.When I heard that the M4 (and yes, if you read my review about my bad luck with the M-chips in their laptops) was going into the iPad Pro first I had to dip my toes into the fruit's pool to see how kick-butt this tablet was.I wasn't disappointed...but like a great movie that was too short, i ended up being so anyway.Light, thin, about as powerful as most modern laptops (only held back by iPadOS) this thing truly was beautiful. While the way iPadOS (comapred to something like the Galaxy TAB S9, its closest competitor) handles multitasking is a matter if you like it or not, there was ... MoreI was going to swear off Apple tablets, even tho (before I finally got the tablet I truly wanted) I knew that when it comes to a perfect tablet for most people, the iPad wins.When I heard that the M4 (and yes, if you read my review about my bad luck with the M-chips in their laptops) was going into the iPad Pro first I had to dip my toes into the fruit's pool to see how kick-butt this tablet was.I wasn't disappointed...but like a great movie that was too short, i ended up being so anyway.Light, thin, about as powerful as most modern laptops (only held back by iPadOS) this thing truly was beautiful. While the way iPadOS (comapred to something like the Galaxy TAB S9, its closest competitor) handles multitasking is a matter if you like it or not, there was nothing (photo editing, for example) it could't handle......except staying up late.For what this thing cost, the battery life was abysmal. 7-8 hours on a good day, then time to plug it in. Now don't get me wrong, it isn't like it shut off in 15 minutes, but considering the tablet I settled up with gave me at least 4 hours more of time and I only charged it every few days, it was a dealbreaker for me (I figured charigng it every day wouldn't get me the 3-4 years something like this should last ain't gonna let the battery last that long).Ended up returning it.
