Purchase the Apple iPad Pro from Apple Store
The Apple iPad Pro 10.5 and 12.9-inch are now available for purchase from Apple's online store.
View detailsApple didn’t invent the tablet computer, but it’s undeniably responsible for making the concept widely popular all the way back to the original iPad. That’s only dating back to 2010, but in that time Apple’s released smaller and larger iPads while trying to focus ever more strongly on the productivity rather than entertainment/information markets. Last year’s 12.9 inch iPad Pro was the strongest pitch from Apple in that direction, and the 9.7 inch version continues that idea -- at least if you buy Apple’s positioning anyway.

Those with light productivity needs, or those looking to update a much older iPad, or buy their first would be well served to consider the iPad Pro 9.7. It’s not quite the productivity supercomputer that Apple seems to want to sell it as, but as a tablet against the other mobile alternatives at this size and price range, it can’t be beat.
