Apple iPad Pro 2nd Gen (10.5-inch, 2017)

Amazing display ; Extremely powerful ; Promise of iOS 11 ; Works brilliantly with Pencil

Big price jump from previous iPad Pro models ; Expensive peripherals ; No fast charger in the box

Look past the price and this is a stunning tablet that needs iOS 11 to really feel complete.

Amazing audio Smooth and crisp screen Insanely powerful

High price Keyboard is necessary but extra Still not quite a laptop replacement

The iPad Pro 10.5 is a great iPad you can buy if you want an Apple tablet that balances entertainment, productivity and a sleek 10.5-inch form factor. With the tablet-focused iOS 11 update, it's easier to switch apps, even if it's not quite a...

Great new screen ; Pro-level power ; Still really portable ; Top battery life.

Expensive to add Apple Pencil and Smart Keyboard ; Do you need the Pro power?

Powerful sound from the speakers ; Impressive display ; Unparalleled performance ; High-quality cameras

Not the most affordable tablet on the planet ; Overkill as a pure multimedia machine

Pricey, but the latest Pro cements Apple’s position at the top of the premium tablet market, with performance and software future-proofing that should keep it there for a long time yet

Great display in an ultra-portable design ; Keyboard accessory now full-size ; As speedy as you could need

Not a huge change over the 9.7-inch model it replaces so not an upgrade proposition for all

The iPad Pro 10.5 is a lovely tablet to not only look at, but also to use. It wins on performance, display, camera (if you ever use it), and size.

iOS 11 improvements ; Slick performance ; Great battery life ; Media monster

Accessories sold separately ; No expandable storage

The iPad Pro doesn’t do much different compared with the older 9.7-inch model, although you do now get a slightly more spacious screen packed into the same dimensions. With strong accessories support, impressive A/V chops and premium performance and...

Fantastic display that’s perfect for productivity ; Performance that beats full-size laptops ; Superb battery life

Pricey – For most people it’s either this or a laptop ; The best is still yet to come with iOS 11

The iPad Pro puts all other tablets to shame. It’s unbeatable as a multimedia machine or creative tool, and will only get better once iOS 11 shows up

Powerful and snappy in varied use cases ; Slightly thicker body brings practical benefits ; Price is ideal for newcomers and upgraders

Reflective and hollow-sounding display ; Speakers still not up to much ; Rear camera is merely OK

It might look like a regression, but this iPad is affordable and has enough power within to serve you well for years.

Superb screen; Outstanding performance; Excellent battery life

Expensive; Still not quite the laptop replacement for everyone; iOS 11 isn’t out yet

A screen upgrade would have been enough to net the new iPad Pro a perfect score, but the fact that Apple has stuffed in a host of additional upgrades means it's impossible not to recommend it. It's definitely top of the tree, easily the best product in...
