THE KEYS ON THE MAGIC KEYBOARD ARE QUITE SIMILAR TO WHAT YOU GET ON A MACBOOK AND THEIR TYPING EXPERIENCE IS ONE OF THE BEST THAT ONE CAN FIND ON A TABLET KEYBOARD.

Apple iPad Pro (12.9) is probably the only tablet that comes close to replacing your laptop in the 21st Century. We say this because Apple has constantly shown what all you can do with a tablet in terms of work productivity and even leisure. The 2020 Apple iPad Pro (12.9) is no different. In fact, it stretches that claim even further. Apple engineers have constantly worked on both hardware and software upgrades to make its 2020 avatar even more PC-like. So, is it worth that exorbitant price tag? Let’s find out.

DESIGN

The new Apple iPad Pro (12.9) now gets a large camera bump at the back, while retaining its slim and sleek overall design. It looks pretty much identical to the iPad Pro of 2018, however, on closer inspection you will find rounder edges and those bezels are also nicely done by Apple. Upfront, you won’t find that ugly notch, however, that TrueDepth camera is neatly integrated on the top of the display on the iPad Pro.

In terms of connectivity, you lose on the 3.5mm audio jack and only get a single USB-C port on the iPad Pro. There is a magnetic strip on top of the device for you to attach your Apple Pencil and Apple’s new Magic Keyboard also instantly connects to the Smart Connector on the device.
