Apple CEO Tim Cook is out beating the drum for the 12-inch iPad Pro tablet, which launches later this week, and he doesn’t really see why anybody would need a full personal computer anymore.
The latest iPad will be available in Apple stores, in addition to select carriers and resellers’ stores towards the end of this week. “It lets you make any number of effects, right down to a single pixel, giving you more creative freedom than ever before”, the description on Apple’s website said.
Sam’s Club reportedly sold out its pre-sale allotment within just a few hours of opening the iPad Pro for pre-orders and expects Apple to release the new 12.9-inch tablet on November 13. However, that didn’t stop plenty of people from wanting to rush out and order the iPad Pro… except they couldn’t. For the first time, there is a four-speaker audio system on the iPad with the new product. A $1,079 model boosts the storage capacity to 128GB and also adds cellular support. The tablet is big but not hefty: It’s got a 12.9-inch display yet measures only 6.9mm thick and weighs slightly over 1.5 pounds.

The iPadPro is the largest tablet ever made by Apple. Schiller said the Pencil and Smart Keyboard “enable users to customize their iPad Pro experience to the particular apps they use and the work they do, making iPad Pro ideal for everything from professional productivity to advanced 3D design”. Apple chose to focus on its improvements over the A7 mostly though (iPad Air), claiming the A9X provides 2.5x faster CPU processing and 5x faster GPU processing over the A7. There are three signature iPad Pro colors to choose from: Space Gray, Silver, and Gold. Connected to the iPad via the Smart Connector port, the keyboard eliminates the need for batteries, charging, an on/off switch and bluetooth pairing. Accessories for the iPad Pro, including the Pencil and the Smart Keyboard, aren’t supposed to be available for purchase until sometime next week.
