Apple promised “a dizzying display” for its iPad Pro. The display of its latest tablet, on sale since last Wednesday, is immense effect. With a diagonal of 32.2 centimeters, 24.2 centimeters against Air for iPad 2, it offers almost twice the touch surface relative to its predecessor. But the iPad Pro is not designed to compete with it. Given the innovations introduced by Apple, it is intended of course, saw his name in the world of business, but also, more specifically, graphic artists and designers, saw the emergence of a stylus coupled with the tablet.
The iPad Pro is huge, and it is also logically heavier than the latest iPad model Air 2, with 723 grams on the scale, against 437 for the penultimate iPad. The difference is significant, but the tablet remains, given its scale, lightly. We will usually use two at a hand. For comparison, a 13-inch MacBook Air weighs 1.35 kg. The thickness (6.9 mm) is remarkable. We note, on the two short sides, a total of four speakers: sound rendering, either for movies or games, thus significantly better than other tablets
Quality. the screen remains excellent, with 5.6 million pixels and a display rendering extremely fine colors. Too bad Apple did not decide to display more icons on the screen. Autonomy remains of about nine to ten hours

Screen divided into two
Greater and heavy iPad, then, but what for? First, to do two things at once. For years that fans of Android Apple to mock the inability to display two applications on an iPad. The Pro model finally allows. It is thus possible to display alongside the Safari web browser and e-mails, for example, with varying sizes. Or make a copy and paste from Word to email. It is efficient and fast. It is also possible to watch a movie in a third window, and drag it where you want on the screen.
With the iPad Pro, you can also watch movies Photos and pleasant way on this very large screen. The tablet is more interesting when some deputies accessories. Starting with a keyboard that also serves as crutch. Apple did not wait for companies like Logitech embark on this type of accessory and markets its “Smart Keybord” for the astronomical sum of 179 francs …. For this surreal price, we can hold the iPad in front of you to watch a movie. And the keyboard is excellent, with nice touches to use and many advanced functions already configured.
The other accessory, “the Apple Pencil” (109 francs), is almost more still useful. It allows you to draw with impressive precision. The screen responds to pressure to narrow or enlarge the line. The stylet, being inclined, can “sketching” as if it were a pencil. This is effective, but it probably will interest as designers, graphic artists, designers, students or (wealthy). Adobe Photoshop software such Sketch allow to make the most of the pen (that can be lost, because there is nowhere to clip it).
Three prizes
Now to the price: the wi-fi model with 32 GB of memory costs 899 francs, the one with 128 GB costs 1079 francs and for 150 francs more, it is possible to insert a SIM card to connect to the Internet anywhere. For comparison, a MacBook Air 13-inch displays a first prize of 1079 francs Air and the iPad 2 is about 300 francs cheaper than the iPad Pro.
