Apple iPad Pro M4 13" - 2024

Apple's M4-powered iPad Pro is a highly capable tablet with an impressive display, leading performance, and enough storage for a lifetime, though iPadOS still has some limitations.

The new iPad Pro 2024, packed with the M4 chip, blew us away with its power efficiency, striking display, and breakneck performance.

The M4 iPad Pro seems built to be an alternative everything device that won’t slip into your pocket. Thanks to a new, bright OLED screen and chip, it’s as close as possible to that goal hardware-wise. It’s still lacking software that feels as versatile as what you can already find on an Apple-brand laptop. The score is liable to change while we finish testing the iPad Pro’s brightness and battery.

Apple's iPad Pro M4 blurs the lines between tablets and computers, offering a powerhouse tool for creatives and professionals alike.

The 2024 iPad Pro gets a new OLED screen, sleeker build, and Apple M4 chip. It's extremely powerful and still the best single machine for work and play.

The 13-inch Apple iPad Pro, powered by the M4, is not just a laptop replacement option but a true alternative for those who don’t want or need a laptop-type device. With an impressive display and touchscreen, along with accessories that match the performance of the main device, it’s the best from Apple for those who are looking for something different.

This is a sumptuously impressive iPad. The iPad Pro preserves the “magical” aspect that Apple introduced back in 2010 with a slim sheet of glass that could work as a reader, an entertainment device, a games machine and more. Apple has added a tremendous new design that defies belief until you touch and hold it, and blazing-fast performance that satisfies the most demanding of creative users.

For now, it’s just an iPad. The best iPad ever, I think — maybe even the best iPad you could reasonably ask for. But the story of the iPad — the “magic pane of glass,” as Apple is so fond of calling it — is actually all about software. The iPad’s software has let its hardware down for years. Apple has led us to believe that’s about to change, that this year’s WWDC will be the great turning point for AI and iPads and everything. We’ll see. Until then, the iPad Pro is almost too good for its own good.
