Over the last five years, the iPad has shaped the future of computing. Today, the iPad Pro, is the largest, fastest, and most powerful Apple tablet thus far. Because of their compact size and portability, tablets make for the ideal all-in-one e-reader, game machine, and modular computing device.
With a 13-inch screen and 5.6 million pixels – which is more than that of a 15-inch MacBook Pro with a Retina display – the iPad Pro comes equipped with a new A9X 64-bit chip that is 1.8 times faster than the previous iPad's CPU and powerful enough to edit three streams of 4k video at a time. It is 78% larger than the iPad Air 2, but at 1.57 lbs, it’s not much heavier.
Major components include a 12.9-in. IPS LCD display with 2732 x 2048 pixels, a dual-core ARMv8-A 64-bit 2.26 GHz CPU, and 4Gbytes of RAM. It comes equipped with ambient light, accelerometer, barometer, gyroscope, and a finger print sensor. It has an 8-Mpixel iSight camera capable of recording 1080p HD video, a 1.2-Mpixel 720p front-facing camera, 802.11a/b/g/n/ac Wi-Fi, Bluetooth V4.0 + A2DP, and a 10307 mAh Li-Ion battery.
The iPad Pro is big enough to have a full-size keyboard on the screen, but if you don’t want to type on there, Apple has also made a new smart magnetically-connected keyboard that doubles as a cover, coated with a thin fabric. Along with the keyboard, the company also created its own stylus for the iPad, the Apple Pencil, which has sensors in its tip to help mimic the effects of using a real pencil.
Available colors for the iPad Pro include silver, gold, and space gray. The full teardown report can be found here.
