Apple iPad Pro 12.9-inch (2018) Specs
Description
The 12.9-inch iPad Pro is a high-end tablet made for both entertainment and serious work. Its extra-large display makes it ideal for gaming and watching movies on the go, as well as for drawing or taking notes using the second-gen Apple Pencil. The A12X system chip gives Apple's tablet enough processing power to easily edit 4K video and run complex apps like Photoshop. You also get 10 hours of battery life, per Apple's estimates, and Face ID authentication instead of a fingerprint scanner.
