AppleiPad Pro 11-Inch (M4): Built for Apple Intelligence, Ultra Retina XDR Display, 512GB, 12MP Front/Back Camera, LiDAR Scanner, Wi-Fi 6E, Face ID, All-Day Battery Life — Space Black

It’s really amazing how something so small, thin and light weight can be so fast and powerful and yet remain cool. My Boxx work station I bought in 2014 finally died. Rest in peace my good friend. So I decided to build my next pc and so I purchased this i Pad Pro 11 M4 2024 with nano screen 16Gb of ram and 2Tb of ssd. It wasn’t long before I realized that if I purchased a high quality usb C cable that I could connect this machine to my USB C Dell 34 inch monitor and I also purchased the keyboard and pen for it and I wasn’t sure what to expect but wow I am just amazed because just yesterday I needed to print something and so I downloaded the Cannon printer app. In less than 5 minutes my Apple i Pad Pro 11 M4 was having a conversation with my Cannon printer and Wi-router. I made a print request on my i Pad Pro and after 10 seconds my printer started printing. It also is linked to my Yamaha surround sound receiver and works flawlessly! I really love my i Pad and I never dreamed that it would be able to replace my desktop pc like it has. Oh, one more very important part of this device is its image quality and I don’t mean just good but it is the best screen I ever had ever seen before. I loved watching movies on it. This device has a very high price tag on it but believe me when i say to you that it’s worth it. I put the insurance on mine and I think you all should do the same.

My old iPad from 2018 was running out of space and becoming unusable, just as I was about to reenter higher education after a couple decades away. I knew lots of students take notes on their tablets now, so armed with an Apple Pencil Pro and this iPad, I headed off to class.Love love love taking notes on this! It felt weird writing on glass, so I grabbed a very nice textured screen protector from Elecom (much better visual quality over PaperLike). I quickly figured out how to use GoodNotes and Notability, and just finished my first quarter taking difficult science classes with straight A’s!But back to the device, the screen is SO much brighter than previous generations, and the saturation of color and depth of black is remarkable. Visually, it’s stunning.I went hard with the 1TB storage Pro, as I plan on keeping this for a long time and prefer all my pics and vids on my device in full quality 4k.Watching 4k videos from our family vacay in Sicily is a joy on here, and it’s great to shoot lots of pics on my iPhone 16 Pro Max and get home and sort through on this instead of little phone screen. I never wouldn’t caught that booger in my nose at the hot springs on the phone!It’s super fast. Loads, updates, backups, etc. All very speedy.With the Magic Keyboard, it feels so premium. For a short trip when I don’t want to lug my MacBook, this is great. Also fits on an airplane tray table, unlike a 16” laptop.I don’t really game or do anything super demanding on this, but I like knowing that I COULD if I wanted to. For the screen is my fave part. It’s got a tiny bezel, so it’s almost the same size overall as my old 9.7” iPad, but with a much bigger and better picture. Also very light and portable. I sometimes still bring my big laptop to school for additional functionality on desktop apps, but usually just use the iPad.Oh and it seems to hold a charge for like forever. I never need to charge it during the day, although sometimes do just out of habit.The only drawback is the price! Ouch, this hurt, but for how long I intend on using it, I think I’ll get my money’s worth.

This review is for the 2024 11” iPad Pro M4 WiFi version. The iPad is a fantastic device. The screen is bright and displays beautiful, rich colors and deep blacks. The M4 processor is speedy. The iPad is very thin but heavier than I expected. I purchased the Otterbox Defender case for added protection, adding a few more ounces to the weight. I use the Apple Pencil Pro with my iPad as an artist, which works great. I chose the 11” model because it fits my needs as a portable tablet and is small enough to carry on location. This is not to say that the 13” inch model is too large. If you are planning to purchase either model, I advise you to compare the sizes before you decide. I am delighted with my purchase, and I think it is a good value for the money. I would also evaluate your memory requirement and purchase as much as you can afford. I purchased the 512GB version but will buy the 1TB or 2TB version next time. The only con for me is the weight, which is not bad, just more than I expected. I highly recommend this version.
