iPad Pro 2020 Price:
Although this iPad pro 2020 is slim and has a light design with a smooth touchscreen option, it’s not as good as the laptop. Because this iPad pro 2020 is running on the software that was designed for mobile. Along with that, it also doesn’t feel as comfortable as a laptop because it has a lack of mouse support and other significant factors.
In the US, it starts at $800 for the 11-inch model, $1000 for 12.9 inches.
iPad Pro Overview:
This iPad Pro 2020 is just a magical piece of glass, and it’s blazingly fast than most of the PC Laptops and has a premium camera that can transform reality. Apart from these, you can have an Apple Pencil, keyboard, and trackpad to access it.
Let’s get into the Specifications:

Now, let’s get into the review of the iPad Pro 2020 review. As said earlier, I am reviewing the 12.9 inches version in this review.
Display and Design of iPad Pro 2020:
Apple’s iPad pro is impressive, mainly because of its thin and light design. It’s built at 0.23 inches thin, and it’s just as slim as the iPad Air. This 12.9 inch iPad Pro is coming with Wifi and cellular weights of 643 grams while the surface pro is bit heavier than this as it stays at 775 grams.
As this is designed to give you more display place, it has no home button similar to the iPad Air. So, you have to use either passcode or FaceID to unlock your device. Also, swipe up from the screen to go to the home screen.
Coming to its display, its 12.9-inch display is vibrant, smooth, and absolutely sharp. This device has a higher 120 Hz refresh rate, so it has a great Pro Motion feature. Ipad Pro even supports True tone color by adjusting the technology. It has built entirely right in terms of display and design. However, to replace the laptop, it has to do more.
Software:
Apple’s latest iPad pro 2020 software is great as it has added some powerful features to the iPad.
It’s presently better equipped to handle work-related tasks and can enhance the productivity of your work. It has a proper file manager to access documents stored on the iPad or other places such as iCloud Drive and so.
The split-screen mode is another helpful option, and it even supports external drives in the files app. Along with these, the new home screen helps you to see more information such as upcoming appointments, events, and more.
Even though it has all the powerful features, it still can’t replace the laptop as you can drag-drop or resize your home screen like you do on a desktop. Apart from these, switching apps can’t happen as good as the desktop on this iPad. This irritates a bit for users who love to switch between apps.
However, if you consider the speed and other factors, you can be satisfied with this iPad Pro as an alternative to your laptop.
Performance and Battery Life:
The new iPad Pro 2020 battery life is good when compared to the other devices. It’s faster than a laptop in performance. Usually, while opening apps MacBook Pro or Mac Book Air, you will see some sluggish performance where else with iPad pad pro, you don’t need to do that as it’s blazingly fast.
As Apple’s newest iPad Pro runs on the A12Z processor, it’s so far the powerful processor that detects sharper graphics and has a great improvement in GPU’s Thermal Architecture.
The previous version of iPad pro used to have Apple’s A12X chipset, so it has lesser performance than A12Z.
Coming to the battery life, Apple claims it can last up for 10 hours while browsing the web on wifi or even streaming videos. I find that it’s true as it lasts around 10 hours. The iPad Pro works perfectly for 10 hours, and in some cases, it can drain soon, but that depends upon the various factors.
Camera:
If you are eager to shoot videos with your iPad Pro, then you can get high image quality similar to the iPhone 11.
This iPad Pro has a 7-megapixel front camera for selfies and video calls, although it’s not as great as the iPhone 11 selfie camera, but it’s okay.
Coming to the rear camera, it has a 12 Megapixel wide camera, with 10-megapixel ultra-wide angular camera that’s great at taking lower resolution pics.
The pictures you capture on iPad pad pro are good but not great. If you are a camera lover, then you should find another device to enjoy your photography skills.
However, iPad Pro does a good job as it has a LiDar Sensor that actively made a great impact on capturing the image. This special sensor is geared to improve performance in AR apps.
Apple Ipad pro 2020 is capable of detecting surfaces quickly and hassle-free. However, AR apps will have to be built for Apple’s new scene geometry application; then, only the LiDAr sensor works flawlessly.
Overall, the iPad Pro is faster in taking images and accurate in detecting surfaces so you can be comfortable with this device. If you are trying to go ahead of this, then you have to search for other devices.
Mouse and Trackpad support:
The iPad pro-2020 has the ability to use a mouse and trackpad. So, it has become a game-changer among the other devices.
Don’t expect mouse and trackpad support as good as Mac or PC. Although it has this feature, it works differently from the PC interface.
Computer mice will work fine with iPad, but it’s a wise option to choose trackpads as it far ahead in performance from mice.
Downsides of iPad Pro 2020:
IPad Pro’s main downside is its price. This device is way too expensive than the laptop and tablet.
The cost starts from 71000INR in India and $800 in the US for the 11-inch device. It’s 12.9-inch device costs over 89,000 INR in India and $1000 in the USA.
Most people choose MacBook Air as it is similar in pricing; some even choose other alternatives as they are cheaper. Some apps in the iPad pro are not optimized for a trackpad that gives frustration to some people.
It doesn’t have any portraits and night mode as well. To use this Ipad pro, you need an Apple Pencil as it will cost you around $130. So, the price might even go higher.
Final Review:
The new Apple Ipad pro is definitely a powerful computer that is stunning in design and sleek in shape. Its long battery life is helpful for anyone. Apart from that, the trackpads support will also help you.
But, if you are looking for a laptop replacement? I feel this can’t replace your laptop, but if you are finding a device to fully fill your productivity work apart from laptops, then you can consider this iPad pro.
The software experience in iPad pro is still not as good as laptop os in some features, but coming to the performance, it’s great. So, if you are looking for a device between phone and laptop, then this is a perfect option for you.
Pros of iPad Pro:
- Long-Lasting Battery life (Lasts up to 10 hours while using wifi)
- Unique sleek lightweight design.
- Supports both trackpad and mouse.
- Blazingly faster than lots of laptops in performance.
Cons:
- Too expensive than regular laptops.
- Software is still missing some important aspects.
- Not having night mode and portrait support.
