Apple - 11-Inch iPad Pro (4th Generation) M2 chip Wi-Fi + Cellular - 256GB - Space Gray (Unlocked)

CONTEXT I work on a solar farm, and I’ve been using the iPad Pro for work and honestly It’s the best work device I’ve ever had. DESIGN It has a sleek and minimalist design and it's made of aluminum and glass, and it is also very thin and light, making it easy to carry around with me. DISPLAY The display is simply stunning, the Liquid Retina XDR display, is easily one of the best displays on the market. It's bright, sharp, colorful and it has high refresh rate of 120Hz making everything look snappier. This makes it perfect for reviewing blueprints, drawings and making presentations. PERFORMANCE It's powered by the M2 chip (same chip that's used in the latest MacBook Air and MacBook Pro) so it's incredibly fast and responsive, so I can easily multitask between different apps and tasks. CAMERAS It has a dual-camera system on the back, with a 12MP wide-angle lens and a 10MP ultrawide-angle lens. The cameras take excellent photos and videos, even in low light. There's also a 12MP front-facing camera for selfies and video calls. LiDAR This was another of the deciding factors on choosing the Pro model over the Air, this is useful for a variety of tasks, such as measuring dimensions and it can be used to create 3D scans of objects and environments which is very handy on the projects. STORAGE I went with the 256GB version because is a great option for my needs, it is more affordable, and has plenty of storage space for what I need it for. And if ever need more space I have the option to attach an external hard drive with the USB C (which has great transfer speeds) and make more cost effective. BATTERY LIFE It also has a long-lasting battery, so I don’t have to worry about running out of power in the middle of the workday and that's great because usually I'm in the middle of nowhere, It just has died on my once. CELLULAR CONNECTIVITY Why I went with the unlocked cellular version? Well for me it boils down to the flexibility in terms of choosing a carrier and a plan that meets your needs. This is especially important if you work in a remote area like me where there is limited cellular service and unlike the WiFi only version the cellular version has an integrated GPS. Another factor is that unlocked versions are often less expensive than carrier-locked models. This is because you are not paying for the subsidy that carriers typically charge for locked devices. And lastly, unlocked versions have a higher resale value than carrier-locked models. This is because they can be used with any cellular carrier, which makes them more attractive to potential buyers and this will help me in the long run when is time to upgrade. SOFTWARE The iPad Pro runs on iPadOS, which is a version of iOS that's specifically designed for tablets. iPadOS has a number of features that make it ideal for productivity, such as Split View and Slide Over. It also has a wide range of apps available, including both productivity apps and entertainment apps. PORTABILITY I also love the fact that it is so portable, actually this was the deciding factor on why I went with the iPad and not a laptop or the IPad Pro 12.9 in. I can easily carry it around with me on the jobsite without having to worry about it weighing me down. PROS Stunning display Incredible performance Excellent battery life Wide range of apps available Powerful cameras Internet access almost everywhere CONS Expensive No Thunderbolt port Limited file system access CONCLUSION Overall, I recommend this Ipad to anyone who is looking for a powerful and versatile work device. It’s the best work device I’ve ever had, and I can’t imagine working without it. I use it mostly for the following tasks: To capture data from solar panels and other equipment that we use. To make presentations about our solar farm projects. To access engineering drawings and other technical documents. I use it to take notes and keep track of tasks. To communicate with my team members. That being said this device has made my work so much easier and more efficient. TIP FOR PRO USERS: Even the iPad Pro is expensive, you can write off a percentage from your taxes if you're going to use it for work or business purposes like me, since this device is marketed as professional work device it opens up that option. To do this, you need to meet the following criteria: 1. You must use the iPad for business purposes at least 50% of the time. 2. You must not have acquired the iPad from a relative. The percentage you can deduct is equal to the percentage of time you use it for work or business purposes. For example, if you use the iPad 60% of the time for business, you can deduct 60% of the cost on your taxes. To deduct the cost on your taxes, you will need to keep track of how you use it. You can do this by keeping a log of your usage or by using a time tracking app. You will also need to keep your receipts for the iPad and any related expenses, such as accessories or software. This is no financial advice and you should consult with a tax professional to verify if it applies in your particular case since each situation is different and may not be applicable in your situation.

This iPad is more than capable of handling anything you try to throw at it. The display is amazing and the pro motion makes it feel smooth as butter. Would definitely recommend!

Very useful and versatile device with a powerful display. Clean design, lightweight and durable. The battery life is a solid winner, and keeps up with any given task. If you’re thinking about getting the iPad Pro, go for it!

My new ipad is so quick and the features are so much more responsive. The color is beautiful and it connects right up whether it be Wi-Fi or Bluetooth.

The iPad works flawlessly especially in 2024! I couldn’t be any happier

I use it mainly to study the resolution of the images and the light are amazing.

10/10 LOVEEEE MY IPAD I got it for school and thought I have an apple laptop my iPad is sooo convenient and high tec. I can do everything with it and it’s hassle free

iPad is great but wasn’t told my old Apple Pencil and IMac will not work with my new IPad and charger cable is too short. Had to buy adapter to hook up to my IMac because it won’t connect with Bluetooth.
