What we like about Apple iPad Pro 11 2024 (8GB + 256GB)

  • Tandem OLED display provides industry-leading brightness, deep blacks, and exceptional contrast.
  • Incredibly thin and lightweight design makes it more portable and comfortable to hold than previous generations.
  • M4 chip offers unparalleled performance, easily handling intensive creative tasks like video editing and 3D rendering.
  • Landscape-oriented front camera improves the video calling experience when used with a keyboard.
  • Strong battery life that often exceeds Apple's 10-hour claim in standard web-surfing tests.

What we don't like about Apple iPad Pro 11 2024 (8GB + 256GB)

  • High starting price that increases significantly with storage upgrades and essential accessories.
  • iPadOS continues to limit the device's potential, lacking the advanced window and file management of a full desktop OS.
  • Removal of the ultra-wide rear camera, leaving only a single standard lens.
  • Lack of compatibility with older Apple Pencils and Magic Keyboards, forcing returning users to buy new peripherals.
  • No built-in kickstand, making it dependent on expensive cases for propped-up use.
  • Speakers may have slightly less audio fidelity than previous models due to the thinner chassis.

Verdict

The 2024 Apple iPad Pro 11-inch (8GB RAM, 256GB) is a high-performance tablet powered by a 9-core binned M4 chip and a 10-core GPU, housed in an ultra-thin 5.3mm aluminum chassis. Its primary feature is the 'Ultra Retina XDR' Tandem OLED display, which offers a 2,000,000:1 contrast ratio, 1600 nits peak HDR brightness, and ProMotion 120Hz technology for fluid visuals. Notable pros include its market-leading processing power for creative tasks, a remarkably lightweight design (under 1 lb), and a landscape-oriented 12MP front camera that significantly improves video calling. However, main cons include the high entry price and expensive first-party accessories, alongside software limitations in iPadOS that may prevent it from fully replacing a traditional laptop for some professional workflows.
