  • First look: Apple launches iPad Pro in new 10.5" form factor with vibrant 120Hz screen

    I'm typing this on my new iPad Pro 10.5" and I'm delighted with it. 

    The striking features for me, having upgraded from an iPad Air 2 are:

    1. Brightness, colour and deep blacks: The display looks stunning with photos and videos and significantly better than on my iPad Air 2.

    2. Stunning stereo sound. The stereo effect is excellent, and the volume, bass and clarity are superb.

    3. Speed and smoothness of the UI. Everything is really slick and smooth with not the slightest hint of lag. The CPU power and 120Hz display work really well together to achieve this. 

    I loved the iPad Air 2 and was always astonished by the quality of the display and sound but they seem quite poor now compared with this new iPad. 

    I guess anybody upgrading from an iPad Pro will be less impressed but if you've got an iPad Air 2 or older iPad the upgrade is a real delight. 

    The only downside for me, is the extra weight - at 487g, the 256GB cellular iPad Pro is 9% heavier than my 128Gb cellular iPad Air 2. I hadn't appreciated this in advance but it's a minor inconvenience. Perhaps I'd better replace my old MacBook Pro 15" with a new one to compensate...

    The iPad Pro is slightly bigger than the old Air too - not a massive increase and less noticeable than the weight difference your old case won't fit.
