Ipad with keyboard and pen

Andrew Cunningham Apple's iPad Pro is pretty much what you'd expect: an iPad Air grabbed by the corners and stretched. The new tablet uses the same basic design cues as the iPad Mini and iPad Air before it—chamfered metal edge, thin but not exceptionally narrow bezels, volume buttons with no mute switch, Home button with TouchID.

A bigger screen also feels like a natural fit for the picture-in-picture mode, which can make things feel just a bit claustrophobic on the smaller iPads. The tablet is 6.9mm thick and weighs about a pound and a half, and as you'd expect you wouldn't want to hold it in one hand for very long. You can hold it comfortably in one hand for short stretches, though—it manages to be large without feeling overly unwieldy.

Is the most expensive iPad always the best one? Do you need all of the accessories too?
