Verdict

The Apple iPad Pro 10.5 (2017) is a high-performance tablet featuring a 10.5-inch Retina display with 2224-by-1668 resolution, 4GB of LPDDR4 RAM, and a spacious 512GB of non-expandable internal storage. It is powered by the A10X Fusion chip with a 6-core CPU and 12-core GPU, which supports professional tasks and fluid multitasking. Key characteristics include ProMotion technology for a 120Hz refresh rate, a 12MP rear camera with 4K video capabilities, a 7MP front camera, and a quad-speaker audio system. Its main pros are the exceptionally smooth and bright ProMotion display, desktop-class processing power, and its lightweight, portable design. However, notable cons include its high original price point, lack of water resistance, and the fact that its full productivity potential often requires purchasing expensive separate accessories like the Apple Pencil (1st Gen) and Smart Keyboard.
