Apple Ipad Pro 10.5 And Apple Pencil

Tablets have long been used mostly for content consumption, with incidental creation. While many have attempted to come up with creation tablets with some success, leave it to Apple to nail it. Behold, the Apple iPad Pro 10.5.

DESIGN

There’s not a lot to say about the iPad Pro here. It’s a slab, with reasonably narrow bezels, an elegant chamfered edge, and buttons where you’ve come to expect them. A solid metal back, massive glass front, with a fingerprint scanner right down in the center. Apart from saying it looks like basically every other iPad, there’s not much else to talk about.

The pencil is about seven inches long, and just the slightest bit thicker than your usual 2B, with a good weight to it. The business end is a hard plastic point that’s thankfully replaceable, and the rear end is a magnetic cap that keeps the charging bit safe.

HARDWARE

A 10.5-inch 2224 × 1668 display with 264 ppi, the powerful A10x Fusion chip and M10 coprocessor, and 4 GB of RAM round things out nicely. My particular model is the 64 GB, Wi-Fi only one, and yes, I got the Apple Pencil as well. You ofcourse get all the modern connectivity options, save for cellular, which is just fine by me.
