Here are the top reasons why the new M4 iPad Pro models from Apple might be a good purchase.
Apple just announced its latest edition of the iPad Pro series and you can already pre-order one of them or wait just a little more to grab one yourself as they hit the stores on May 15. But why would one want a 2024 M4 iPad Pro is the question?
Well, it looks like the number of reasons is a bit higher than usual with this generation. This is one of those updates where Apple not only upgrades the base specs, but also implements impressive innovations and improvements that, in a way, transform the iPad Pro into something more than it used to be.
Of course, these tablets are still absurdly expensive. They might as well cost as much as a small used car when fully specced out. That said, they are impressive pieces of technology and definitely worth checking out, especially if they fit your budget. So, here are the two 5 reasons we think you should consider them.
1. The thinnest Apple product ever made
This might seem like an insignificant change, but the truth is that weight and size are crucial about the usability of a device. That is especially true when it comes to tablets, especially bigger ones.
These massive pieces of what essentially is just screen are meant to be extremely portable while still offering the convenience of a big display. The size and weight of a tablet are also vital for the way it is handled when connected to a keyboard (more on the new Magic Keyboard below), which is something that could make or break the hybrid nature of the product.
Apple has thinned down the depth of the 13” iPad Pro to 5.1mm (vs 6.4mm of the predecessor) and to 5.3mm for the 11” iPad Pro with M4 (vs 5.9mm of the predecessor).
The 2024 iPad Pro’s even weigh less than their iPad Air counterparts. The 13-inch M4 iPad Pro weighs 579 grams vs 617 grams for the 13-inch Air, and the difference is 444 grams vs 462 grams for the 11-inch models.
2. The most advanced Apple display
The M4 iPad Pro tablets from Apple are the company’s first to rock OLED displays. In fact, they are what the company has dubbed “Tandem OLED” displays, which is basically two different OLED panels layered on top of each other.
The aim of this approach is for Apple to keep the same 1000 nits of peak full-screen brightness and 1600 nits of peak HDR brightness that the last generation came with.
