The Good:
-Powerful and snappy performance
-Face ID is more efficient and effective than finger ID
-Speakers are louder and crisper
-Lightweight
-High resolution screen
-Great for travel
-New Smart Keyboard is better than previous generation as it protects the back of the iPad
-New Apple Pencil 2 is better than previous generation since you charge on side of iPad
-USB C is more universal of a connector
-Beautiful design
-LTE works well
The Bad:
-Expensive but powerful
-No USB C to 3.5 mm headphone converter
The Bottom Line:
I have both the iPad Pro 10.5 (512 GB LTE) and this new iPad Pro 11 (512 GB LTE version). I travel a lot and use my iPad almost exclusively when I’m away from my desk. I use my iPad to take hand written notes exclusively and use Excel and do picture editing. This new iPad 11 compared to the 10.5 is better in every way. Probably what’s saved me the most time is Face ID. It’s just way more efficient and effective for me (no more fumbling around with my thumb). The processor and graphics are much snappier than the previous version and there’s no lag on anything I do. The speakers on this iPad are louder and clearer so I use this to watch videos and listen to music in my hotel room. The iPad 11 is very lightweight and even with the Smart Keyboard it’s the lightest tablet I’ve used. The new Smart Keyboard and smart connector is much better than the previous version as this new version protects the back. Also the new Apple Pencil 2 works very well and the new charging on the side of the iPad versus through the lightning connector on the previous model is much better. The big downside is the new mode is expensive. My entire rig was close to $1,800 if you include the iPad Pro 11 LTE 512 GB, Smart Keyboard, Apple Pencil 2 and Apple care. Overall, I would still recommend this iPad Pro 11 as a worthy upgrade from the 10.5 if you’re a heavy user of your iPad.

I ended up returning this one and ordering the 12.9 instead, since I decided I could use the bigger screen. The 11” and 12.9” don’t sound so differnt on paper, but in person, the size difference is quite big. Also, note that the aspect ratio on the 11” is a little different than the 12.9; it’s more “widescreen”, while the 12.9 is taller looking. Great power, screen, and light. Great machine from what I could tell. I’ve used previous generations of the Ipad and these are just getting better and better. This 11” Ipad is probably the ideal size for travel, etc. I’d recommend the 12.9 if you’re doing any kind of editing work on it that recquires more screen space—the size differences between the two are quite dramatic.
This iPad is absolutely amazing! The colors are brighter, and more vivid than ever! I was skeptical about the charge but this thing is a beast! My 1st gen iPad Pro took forever to charge! Not this baby! This iPad charges fast! I’ll be using this for school work. It’s not bulky, and the edge to edge display is beautiful. This is a perfect Christmas gift!
Student Perspective:
Game changer for college: organization skills improved (+100), Apple pencil elegant and precise (pencil not included), and taking notes during lectures decimates traditional methods.
I would not consider this a laptop replacement, but you can accomplish just enough to get by without panicking for a moment.
Verdict:
If you have money to waste (excluding emergency funds), then redefine your academic life through this new and improved iPad!

I upgraded from 2015 iPad Pro 12.9 inch to 11 inch 2018 and it's a huge difference in both performance and ligh weight experience i will say that's the product is worth every dollar but keep in mind that's you must buy a case because this iPad is thinner so it could be bended or the screen could shatter from the fall . Also special thanks for amazon for providing a fast shipping as always .

The A12X Bionic chip is faster than most PC laptops and easily runs pro apps. All-day battery life. Wi-Fi. Over a million apps available on the App Store, including augmented reality experiences. And the new Apple Pencil and Smart Keyboard Folio help you be even more creative and productive. It will make you rethink what iPad is capable of—and what a computer is capable of.
It’s everything I ever wanted! I bought an Apple Pencil to go with it and they work together perfectly. I have sped up my art flow immensely. I love love love this product!!! It’s the perfect size. It feels like my old art pads. It’s so light weight and you can do everything with this device!
The only possible down side is that there seems to be far fewer cases and accessories than there are for other models (the 10.5 and 12.something for example). If you don’t mind that this is awesome💗
The product was as expected and my son loves it.
The packaging of the product was scary! It literally was put in an over size box without a single piece of packing material. Nothing. Just left in there to flop around. That scares me because UPS can be rough on a package and these packages are tossed, thrown, slid, and everything else during shipping. You have no clue if anything inside the $1100 ipad is damaged or not. From all the jarring from not being packed properly. I was soooooooooo disappointed in the packaging of such an expensive purchase. It seems to be ok, but who knows.
good experience
Since picking up the iPad Pro this winter, it's become my go-to device. I originally bought it for a couch-surfing device so I didn't need to quint at my tiny iPhone. But this quickly became my everything device. I now use it for:
* Work (emails / research)
* Importing photos with the optional SD card reader
* Professional photo editing (Lightroom CC with full access to profiles and presets)
* Podcast editing (with Ferrite Studio - use the SD reader to import from my H4N)
* Fun (Kindle reading, Netflix, YouTube, Surfing, etc).
I have a $2000 PC sitting pretty idle now, as this has been able to do it all. If you want it as a desktop replacement, I recommend these items:
* Bluetooth Keyboard
* Stand (more than just a cover stand - see photo)
* Paper-Like screen protector
* Apple Pencil
* SD reader
My last bit to figure out is saving to local SSD's. Apple isn't a fan of letting you plug right in, though there are wireless solutions that can be purchased. I have been syncing to the cloud, and having the cloud sync back to my otherwise idle PC for now.
I have an iPad 2 and I liked it. This Christmas the hubby surprised me with this one. I am not a great user or have a lot of knowledge about apple products but so far, I really really love this tablet. I like the screen stretching to the ends and giving a bigger screen without the bigger tablet footprint. I have used it for art with the artist brush stylus and it is so amazing. I can create wherever I am. It is great to play music, gets super loud.. Overall I am really impressed. I would recommend to anyone and I think I am a customer for life with the iPad. I usually get Samsung so I have many of their tablets, I do like Samsung and would recommend them as well, but for the art aspect I love the iPad. It is different going from android to iPad. A slight learning curve to get used the new interface and how things work. I really like the swipe fling maneuver to close apps. It is way better than the home button. Oh and for those that like to color with adult coloring books. .. I love the app sketches, pictured above. It allows you to color but allows you to make variations within the color block so shading is an option for each one. if you touch inside a block and then drag without picking up you can color the whole color block in without going outside the lines. But with the different tools, It allows it to be translucent so every stoke gets darker and darker. I also love the smudge tool. I haven't branched out to see what all it does so far. But with what I have seen, I am impressed..
