Verdict

The 2024 13-inch Apple iPad Pro is a high-performance tablet featuring the M4 chip with a 10-core CPU, 10-core GPU, and 16GB of RAM specifically paired with its 1TB storage capacity. Its standout feature is the Ultra Retina XDR display, which uses tandem OLED technology to reach 1,600 nits of peak HDR brightness and a 2,000,000:1 contrast ratio, all within a remarkably thin 5.1mm aluminum chassis. Main pros include its desktop-class speed, the move of the FaceID camera to the landscape edge for better video calls, and a significantly lighter design that improves portability. However, its primary cons are the extremely high price for this specific configuration, the lack of an ultra-wide rear camera found in previous models, and software limitations in iPadOS that may restrict the full potential of its powerful hardware.
