'iPad Pro' Specs, Price, Features: 80% Faster Than Most Laptops, Battery Lasts Longer, Focused on Productivity [VIDEO]

Finally, Apple unleashed the long awaited "iPad Pro". This 12.9 inch iPad device is no longer like the previous generations of iPads whose focus was on general entertainment and usability. The new "iPad Pro" is now designed to focus on productivity. It functions as a hybrid laptop with better specs to give you the full laptop experience.

iPad Pro Specs

Aside from the big 12.9 inch display, the main display of the "iPad Pro" is a 2732 x 2048 resolution which displays 5.6 million pixels. The "iPad Pro" uses A9X chip and Apple's 3rd gen 64 bit chip. These specifications of the "iPad Pro" makes the device around 80% faster than most laptops and it is also almost two times faster in rendering graphics than many laptops.

iPad Pro Battery

The new Apple device features a battery that can last for a long ten hours with only one charging. This is not bad for a tab/laptop hybrid. We've known iPad devices to have great battery life and it's good to know that the higher model that is the "iPad Pro" can keep up to that standard.

iPad Pro Colors

The "iPad Pro" will come in three typical Apple colors - gold, space grey, and silver. The color options are one good news considering that the usual iPad colors that we see are the white and black.

iPad Pro Competitions

As stunning as the "iPad Pro" is, it is not alone in what it offers. Competitions such as the "Surface Pro 3," "Ideapad Miix 7000," and the "Pixel C" are all good hybrid laptops as well. In fact, good words have been heard about the Surface Pro 3.

iPad Pro Accessories

The "Apple Pencil" is one thing to be excited about in the "iPad Pro". It features Force Touch which gives it the ability to understand pressure, angling, and any other writing complexities. The pencil is said to be able to stay charged for one hour, but can also be charged via the iPad itself using a lightning cable.

The Smart Keyboard is another thing that the "iPad Pro" can work with. It is an optional accessory that connects to the device through a connector and it carries power through magnetic connections.

iPad Pro Storage

The "iPad Pro" will begin at 32 GB, up to 128 GB. Some may think that the 128 GB max storage of Apple devices may no longer be enough with the high spec'd "iPad Pro", but so far that is all that's offered.

iPad Pro Pricing

The "iPad Pro" costs from $799 for its lowest version, up to $1079 for its highest version that is the 128 GB with LTE data.
