The "1-Minute" Review

Verdict

A sleek, powerful tablet with incredible display quality, but comes at a premium price.

What's good

  • Slim, lightweight design
  • Bright OLED display
  • Powerful performance
  • Excellent battery life
  • Magic Keyboard compatibility

What's bad

  • Expensive pricing
  • Lacks ultra-wide camera
  • Speaker bass limitations
  • No bundled charger
  • Few optimized apps

Design

The iPad Pro 11 feels incredibly lightweight, achieving a slim profile at just 5.3 mm thin, making it quite comfortable to carry around. "It looks familiar but feels substantially different," notes one reviewer, highlighting its noticeable reduction in size and weight.

Despite its sleekness, some reviewers express concerns about the long-term durability due to its thinness. The sturdy aluminum unibody construction, however, offers a high-quality feel, ensuring the device remains robust during everyday use.

Apple packs the iPad Pro 11 with magnets to secure cases and the Apple Pencil Pro, adding to its elegant design adaptability. Using it with accessories like the Magic Keyboard enhances productivity and protects its svelte form.

Display(s)

You'll enjoy the exceptional brightness and color accuracy with the new OLED screens. Reviewers appreciate how the iPad Pro "achieves a peak brightness of 1600 nits," making outdoor viewing a breeze.

The wisdom of investing in the latest technology becomes apparent when you see a movie or read an article. Text looks crisp, and colors appear true to life, making long hours of usage enjoyable and less taxing on your eyes.

This screen also adapts its refresh rate between 10 to 120 Hz, which offers smooth scrolling and excellent responsiveness without stressing the battery unnecessarily.

Potential issues with flickering could occur due to OLED technology, as one review notes a flickering frequency of 240 Hz. Sensitive users may want to test the display in person to ensure comfort.

But overall, the OLED technology enhances your experience, offering deeper blacks and richer contrasts for every task you tackle.

Performance

The new iPad Pro impresses with its latest Apple M4 chip, providing outstanding speed and efficiency. Reviewers highlight a 20% boost in performance from previous models, making it suitable for demanding tasks like 4K video editing and gaming.

"Even brand-new games run like a dream," according to experts, showing off the tablet's gaming prowess with a powerful 10-core GPU.

This kind of performance ensures smooth multitasking and responsive interactions, whether you’re a power user working with professional apps or simply enjoying high-performance gaming on the move.

Software & Storage

The new iPad Pro boasts iPadOS 17.5, which allows easy lock screen adjustments and includes built-in apps such as a music studio and office suite. Reviewers appreciate the smoother interaction with widgets.

Apple plans to allow more app store access, but this isn't available yet for iPadOS. Reviewers note that despite restrictions, it's “the best for media and creativity.”

Updates last around 6-8 years, giving your investment longevity with security patches beyond the normal cycle.

Cameras

The tablet's rear camera doesn't keep up with good smartphones, with reviewers highlighting that, "despite the 12-megapixel sensor, the image detail can't compete with an iPhone 15." If you're looking for simplicity, its single wide-angle lens does the job. The tablet can record 4K videos, although capturing on the go might feel awkward. The front camera works effectively for FaceID security and tracks your face during video calls, ensuring you stay centered on the screen.

Battery

The iPad Pro 11 boosts a larger battery capacity than its predecessor, offering up to 10 hours of usage, making it suitable for long work sessions and entertainment. Reviewers from "Notebookcheck," highlight that it lasts 15:11 hours in their WLAN test, which they describe as an average score for its size.

Charging the device could be a slow process, as it supports maximum charging at 20 watts, requiring nearly 3 hours to fully recharge. Unfortunately, a charger isn't included in the box, so you'll need to ensure compatibility with your existing chargers or consider purchasing a new one.

Audio

The four speakers on the iPad Pro 11 (2024) deliver robust sound quality, making it ideal for movies and gaming. Each speaker produces clear audio, even at high volumes, and minimizes distortion for an immersive listening experience.

According to Notebookcheck, "The iPad Pro brings four speakers that are able to easily produce a sufficiently loud sound for a medium-size room." This clarity in audio allows you to hear dialogue clearly in movies and songs, making it great for entertainment.

For calls, the speakers provide understandable sound, ensuring your conversations remain clear. The audio experience optimizes voice clarity, helping you stay connected effectively when on video or voice calls.

The Bottom Line

This tablet offers impressive power in a slim, lightweight design, excelling in creative tasks and media consumption. Many reviewers note its "outrageous performance" and stunning display quality, making it ideal for watching videos and engaging in professional creative work.

While its performance and features are top-notch, the high price makes it comparable to laptops. If you prioritize portability and a top-tier display, this device might be worth the investment despite its cost.

With a gorgeous tandem-OLED display, a powerful M4 chipset, a portable form factor, and optional cellular connectivity, the iPad Pro M4 is the best premium tablet you can buy in 2024. However, the limited nature of iPadOS and the tablet’s price should give you pause.

It’s one of the finest tablets we’ve ever tested. Its display makes anything viewed on it look stunning.

The 2024 iPad Pro is the best tablet ever made, and it’s not really that close. The M4 chip brings the tablet’s performance to the next level, and I love the thinner design and new accessories, especially the new Magic Keyboard.
