Pad Pro review (2. For productivity, for creative professionals, and for people for whom traditional computers are inaccessible, Apple offers the i. Pad Pro. We were coming out of Apple's September event. And it rose up in front of us, a 1.

Two apps ran on it, side- by- side. But not OS X. They were i. OS. Close by a pencil drew, but in pixels. All of these elements had been seen before, of course, but never from Apple and never quite this. So, instead of turning around, we tractor- beamed our way in—to the i.

Pad Pro. If the original i. Pad was meant to fit in the space between the phone and the laptop, and the i. Pad mini between the phone and the i.

Latest trending topics being covered on ZDNet including Reviews, Tech Industry, Security, Hardware, Apple, and Windows.

Pad, the i. Pad Pro fits somewhere between the i. Pad and the laptop. Just as phones have become larger and more capable, though, laptops have become lighter and more portable.

And the space between them has become narrower. Still, Tim Cook called the i. Pad Pro . It's a bigger, more powerful, more productive display, with an optional, amazingly creative Pencil. But it's also a first step and one that needs the software to catch up to the hardware.

So, if you need a laptop, you'll want to stick with a laptop. If want a tablet that can do some laptop- y things, but with all the flexibility and accessibility that's become the hallmark of the i. Pad, you'll want the i. Pad Pro. i. Pad Pro Table of Contentsi. Pad Pro Video Review. Give us 4 minutes and we'll give you the i. Pad Pro! i. Pad Evolutioni.

And that's a lot of i. Pad. It's roughly the same weight as the original i. Pad, though spread out so it doesn't feel as dense. It's taken Apple half- a- decade and all the many advances in the i. Pad mini and i. Pad Air to be able to make a tablet this big that's still, relatively speaking, this light. Still, this is the first i. Pad that, for me, is a real two- hander.

Depending on your grip and arm strength, you can hold the i. Pad Pro in one hand and tap away on it with the other, just like the i. Pad Air. You can also thumb type in portrait mode if you simply must—though Apple doesn't provide the split keyboard, likely in recognition of how uncomfortable and unsustainable that is for any real length of time.

But this i. Pad really demands a lap or table. The i. Pad Pro comes in the same front plate colors and metallic casing finishes as the i.

Pad Air 2, i. Pad mini 4, and new Mac. Book. That's black and space gray, and white with either silver or gold. No rose gold option like the i. Phones 6s, alas. There are some new elements, though. Two speaker grills on the top now match the two on bottom and enable the terrific new speaker system.

And a new Smart Connector now sits on the left side, providing power and data for hardware keyboard attachments. That Apple didn't use the i. Pad Pro to introduce a more significant design evolution is interesting. The i. Phone 6 and i. Phone 6 Plus, which got larger display sizes last year, not only got the rounder backs, but took a step forward with rounder fronts as well, better suiting the growing number of edge gestures. Having already reduced i. OS devices to the barest of essentials, though, where else could the i.

Pad go? Even further, perhaps, with rounded front edges like the i. Phone, thinner bezels, and perhaps even a virtualized Home button? Then they could truly become multitouch panes of glass. We'll just have to wait and see. For now, the big changes are mostly on the inside.

Mostly.. i. Pad Pro Display. The i. Pad Pro delivers Apple's biggest ever multitouch display—1. That compares to 9. Pad Air 2 and 7. 9- inches on the i. Pad mini 4, both with 2.

Phone 6s- equalling 3. While the i. Pad Pro display may not be as dense as the i. Pad mini 4 and i.

Phone 6s, much less the 4. Phone 6s Plus, neither can touch it when it comes to pixel quantity. That beats the i.

Pad Air 2 and i. Pad mini 4's 3,1. Phone 6s Plus' 2,0. It also beats the 1. Retina Mac. Book Pro's 5,1. It's only when you get to the 2. Retina 4. K's 9,4. Here's how Apple's current line of Retina displays compare in terms of pixel resolution.

Pad Pro's many pixels feel expansive. It's like someone replaced your living room windows with floor- to- ceiling glass. Variable refresh rate. In order to handle all those pixels, Apple is using a custom- designed timing controller (TCON), just like with the Retina i.

Mac. It allows for greater bandwidth, which lets all those pixels respond as fast as technologically possible. So fast it looks like any other i. Pad, which is quite an accomplishment. Apple's also using the same photo alignment process the company employs with the i.

Phones. It involves projecting ultraviolet light to create a more consistent, uniform surface across the coating on the film transistor and color filter. The result is higher contrast, blacker blacks, and richer colors when you're looking directly at the display. To my eyes, the reds and magentas aren't as saturated as on my i. Pad Air 2, and technologically the i. Pad Pro doesn't have a DCI- P3 color space that the latest i.

Macs enjoy. Still, it looks great for photos, videos, games, and everything else I've thrown at it. Also like the Retina i. Mac, the i. Pad Pro has an oxide thin film transistor (TFT). It allows for faster and more uniform pixel changing, even across the very large display. The oxide TFT also enables something remarkable—variable refresh rate. The refresh rate measures how many times per second the screen draws the pixel data it's being fed.

That's how Apple manages to retain the i. Pad's traditionally great battery life even when lighting up all those pro pixels. Pressure sensitivity. There's no 3. D Touch on the i. Pad Pro. That's the name Apple gives to the system that measures the microscopic change in distance between the glass and LED lights on the i. Phones 6s to enable the pressure- sensitive Home screen options and . But what Apple has implemented instead is fascinating.

Along with the refresh rate, the i.
