Apple’s iPad Pro (11-inch, M2) is perfect if you primarily intend to use your tablet as a tablet instead of a complete laptop replacement. You can interact with the iPad using your fingers or the excellent second-gen Apple Pencil, and its keyboard support comes in handy. Most iPads have enough processing power for any daily office task, but the M2 iPad Pro is also fast enough for creative professionals who need to export 4K video, illustrate complex art pieces, or render 3D models. Other “pro” features include a 120 Hz refresh rate, which makes animation look smoother, as well as Face ID, and a new feature that detects the Pencil as it hovers over the iPad.
The M2 iPad Pro has a faster processor and a more capable camera than previous models, plus a vivid screen and access to a wide library of iPad-optimized apps. But coders, web developers, and anyone who needs to use a lot of external accessories are likely to find iPadOS limiting.
