iPad Pro

Between homework, official university communication and entirely online courses, some degree of personal computing is necessary to get through campus life. So what’s best for a college student: a laptop, a tablet, a 2-in-1, or some other magical blend of devices?

​Apple is a little late to the 2-in-1 party, but judging by iPad Pro sales figures the company is still playing an important role. But what about for you? Is the iPad Pro 9.7 worth considering as a Surface Pro 4 alternative?

When can you get away with jacking up the new iPad Air 3's price by US$100 over its predecessor? When you call it a new 9.7-inch iPad Pro, that's when! Apple today took the wraps off its new tablet, putting the 12.9-inch iPad Pro's features in a smaller package.

In the long-term, Apple wants you to ditch your laptop for the iPad Pro, but does Windows 10 give Samsung's Galaxy TabPro S the edge? We compare the two devices in all the key areas.

Apple didn't give the iPad Pro announcement its own standalone event, instead cramming it into its jam-packed September press event. That means we've been waiting almost two months for the 2-in-1 to launch; that wait ends on Wednesday.

The iPad Pro isn't quite a laptop and the Surface Book isn't quite a tablet, but there's still enough overlap there to make the two potential rivals. Let's compare Microsoft's and Apple's latest.

Apple's iPad Pro is the company's most direct answer to the Microsoft Surface. Let's see how Apple's first 2-in-1 compares to the Surface Pro 4.

Apple is positioning its new iPad Pro as a lightweight productivity machine, but where does that leave this year's ultra-light, almost-tablet-like MacBook? We pit these two Apple gadgets against each other in the categories that matter most.

Is the new iPad Pro an innovative rebooting of the iPad lineup, or just an acknowledgement that the Microsoft Surface was the right idea all along? Though it isn't completely fair to line up a late 2015 product next to a mid 2014 one, let's see how the iPad Pro compares to the Surface Pro 3.
