With improved hardware, the new 12.9-inch iPad Pro emerges as a great productivity device.
Since its inception in 2010, the design of the iPad has remained fairly unchanged. Apple did experiment with the display size by launching variants such as the Mini and Pro, while keeping the circular home button intact. The new 12.9inch iPad Pro replaces the one launched in October 2015, and competes head on with Microsoft’s Surface range. The display is super bright –boasting 2,732 x 2,048 pixel resolution – and the device is sleek at 6.9-mm thickness. It is light – weighing 677 gm – and easily slides into a 13-inch laptop sleeve.
Apple’s touch experience is unparalleled and now has been further enhanced with its Promotion technology which is powered by a separate core in the iPad’s processor. The Promotion technology delivers refresh rates of up to 120Hz (most devices come with 60Hz refresh rate) for fluid scrolling, greater responsiveness and smoother motion content. On the new iPad Pro, depending on the content on the screen, the refresh rate varies from 24Hz to 120Hz. For instance, the home screen has a lower refresh rate, but while watching videos or playing games the refresh rate increases.
