Apple’s latest generation of iPad Pro comes in the same 11 and 12.9–inch sizes but also brings a combination of minor upgrades and some substantial improvements. You get a marginally improved processor and a second, wider camera; you also get an intriguing new LiDAR scanner and, coming this month, a full-on laptop mode thanks to a scissor-switch, trackpad–powered Magic Keyboard.

Much of the second-gen 2018 iPad Pro remains. The screen is the same 120Hz ProMotion, P3 wide color gamut LCD Liquid Retina panel. The Face ID camera is still 7MP and sits at the top in portrait mode or on the side in landscape. The charger for the Apple Pencil is now along the top landscape edge, and the keyboard slots into the bottom — we just wish that there was a way to still have our preferred camera position in landscape.
