The 12.9-inch iPad Pro is still one of the most powerful mobile tablets you can buy. The M1 chip is fast enough for multitasking and other serious work, while the mini-LED display is a delight whether you’re editing video or kicking back with a TV marathon. Throw in Thunderbolt support (for peripherals like monitors and external SSDs) and a robust accessory ecosystem and this could replace a laptop in the right conditions, particularly once iPadOS 16 arrives with features like Stage Manager.
This is still a mobile OS-based machine, so you may want a Windows laptop or tablet if you’re juggling multiple apps or need desktop software. However, the main reason for the pause could simply be time. Rumors persist that Apple will introduce an M2-powered iPad Pro this October with MagSafe charging and other possible upgrades. You may want to wait if you insist on the most powerful iPad you can buy. However, if you’re primarily interested in value for money, the M1 model is hard to beat.
