Today we are going to showcase the 11 inch iPad Pro and the 12.9-inch iPad Pro, now the 11 inch retails for $800.12.9-inch retails for $999. One of the great things here is that with the base models we do get 128 GB of internal storage as opposed to the previous generation which only had 64 GB.
The 128 GB is best because you’re gonna be able to fit a lot of stuff in here without having to you know break the bank and upgrade to a larger size. The iPad is now 100% a viable laptop replacement because now it supports mice and trackpads and we’re gonna get the new magic keyboard.
The one that’s gonna feel like an actual laptop is going to be the 12.9-inch model. If you prefer to have a laptop most of the time something that you’re constantly going to be opening and closing to type in and maybe use the touchscreen etc then 12.9-inch is a perfect choice.
