1. The ipad pro is absolutely worthless unless you use it with pen. I tried it and let me tell you, it is the best drawing experienceI ever had and as am artist, that is way worth the price. I tried the others too but dont come close. If you disagree you probably are not an artist and havent tried.
2. music????
3. 12,9 inches!!?? THAT'S REVOLUTIONARY SIZE!!!! Another first to Apple.
4. The iPad Pro is faster than a 2014 Mac mini with Dual core Intel-i5 CPU.
   
   Here are some geekbench mark comparisons.
   ( As you can see when it comes to performance, Apple computers are over priced Art work ).

5. Apple will end up with it's "Surface" version. this was a lost opportunity of doing so. A designer will need to run ilustrator, photoshop, etc. On this device, no chance.
   Just a bigger and more powerful ipad, but still just an iPad. And Expensive.
6. "feels like a big screen TV"? wtf! big screen TVs are under 13"? off the bat shitty review.
7. I might have considered buying an ipad if they had included that keyboard and pencil within the price of that ipad pro. That would make sense, it would feel like using the portable computer of the future, pencil replacing mouse. Wow? wouldn't that be great!! hahah but its just the ipad pro..a giant screen garbage !
8. Isn't this copying the Surface?
9. Any iPad 4th gen crew here?
10. I just bought the iPad pro 4 days ago and someone roughed me up for it, I didn't call the police because he sexually abused my nutsack by foundling it for a full 27 minutes. I'm gonna buy another one next week, this time, I'm gonna put duck tape around it so it doesn't look like an iPad pro.
11. Surface Pro/Book is better okay?
12. I'm going to create something called icondom and make a fortune
13. They made the ipad mini coz the ipad was too big.. And this?🙄🙄🙄
14. Microsoft FTW
15. the only outstanding thing about this product is the pencil... at the end of the day, its just another ipad... apple is gradually loosing the INNOVATION game to microsoft.. If you are a true apple fan, the best way to get apple to see this truth is to reject this product. There is no way in hell apple can justify that price with a mobile OS... No way
16. In time it will take off. It's only the first generation so I wouldn't expect the best.
17. Can't Apple just make a touch screen computer instead???
18. basically people are going to buy it just to say that they have one
19. CNET, Theverge, BGR etc are sites that praises anything that has the half bitten apple logo on it. Am really surprised by this review. The reviewer  just said It like he mean it straight up.. Am pretty much sure he didn't sip a glass of apple kool aid before reviewing this extra large ipad.
20. Surface Pro 4 any day anytime!!!
