Apple iPad Pro 11-inch (4th Generation): with M2 chip, Liquid Retina Display, 256GB, Wi-Fi 6E, 12MP front/12MP and 10MP Back Cameras, Face ID, All-Day Battery Life – Space Gray

It’s been 3 years. One of my best investments!

Enormous fan of the iPad line… period. My last iPad was the 2017 iPad Pro 10.5”, which I loved and ultimately it replaced my laptop for 99% of ‘all things computer-related”. I had it for 5.5 years and it stills works pretty good although the screen quality (bad pixels) had deteriorated a tiny bit and the battery life had deteriorated significantly. I debated whether to have the battery replaced ($149), buy a 2022 model iPad (low end) or go ahead and splurge on the 2022 iPad Pro. Wasn’t an easy choice given the price differential. After looking at it, it was clear that it didn’t make sense to replace the battery as I could get a new (low-end) iPad for about the same price - tech stats-wise, the new low-end iPad wasn’t much different from the 2017 Pro. Ultimately, the fact that it wasn’t much different actually lead me to go ahead and splurge on the Pro with much better tech stats. My thinking was that 1) I am hoping that it will last me at least 5 years like the last one; 2) it is much more likely (given the M2) to remain in the update path as well as to potentially get new features that only the M2 (and possibly M1) models will be able to handle. Bottom line: while much more expensive, I felt that the longevity of the device was ultimately more important especially since it is my primary “computer” (in fact I can’t recall when I last used my laptop - been at least 6-8 months). As for the iPad Pro 2022 (11”) device goes, I am very pleased - while the screen resolution of the 2017 Pro was excellent, the 2022 version is noticeably better, and given that I do a lot of photography/phote editing, this is critical. Speed-wise, it is also noticeably faster, especially loading of pages, opening/closing apps, and scrolling (refresh rate, yeah!). Battery life is much better but I don’t think I am a good judge of that given the degradation my old iPad had. But now I can easily go pretty much all day on the battery. My only ‘complaint’ (and, to be fair, this is something that others will definitely disagree with!) is that the front camera has been moved - no (looking at the device in the landscape position), the camera is in the middle of the left side edge rather than along the top edge. Personally I don’t like the new placement because of two reasons: 1) from a selfie standpoint, you have to remember to look to the left, which makes it harder to also look at the screen to see the image to be captured - just awkward!; and 2) I typically use the iPad with a keyboard case with the device sitting on my lap (usually on a pillow or some other such surface), and I often have my left hand along the side to provide some stability to the device and as a result I end up blocking the camera - no big deal EXCEPT that this iPad has face recognition and I am *constantly* blocking the camera preventing apps from opening or preventing face recognition logins… I am hoping that I quickly get used to it and learn not to cover up the camera by accident, but right now it is ANNOYING. As for face recognition - I LOVE it… not sure if it is the facial recognition itself, or the upgraded specs on my iPad, but it works SO much quicker than the touchpad on my old iPad (when I don’t blocked the camera!). So… for me this iPad is great and I love it! Probably an overkill for others and you would probably be better off going with the Air, or even the regular iPad to save money - especially if you are one of those people that tend to replace the device every couple of years… but if you want something that should be able to last you 5+ years, then this is a definite option. Hope this is helpful info to you!

La compré hace un año (08/DEC/2022). Este es el primer producto de Apple que compro (iPad Pro de 11" | 4ª gen | M2 | 256 GB). Incluía una suscripción de 3 meses de Apple TV (no planeo volver a contratarlo de momento) y una suscripción de Apple Arcade (que disfruté con mi sobrina de 4 años). El motivo principal por el que decidí hacer esta inversión es la calidad de sus cámaras (⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐) y la capacidad de editar video fácilmente (⭐⭐⭐⭐) . Trabajo impartiendo capacitaciones virtuales a diario y por ello realizo videoconferencias constantemente (Zoom, Meet, Teams), de vez en cuando también hago video tutoriales (LumaFusion, DaVinci Resolve) así que compré también un Concentrador de Anker* para poder agregar más dispositivos USB A/C y de paso conectarla a un monitor externo de 27", lo cual me permite extender la pantalla y mejorar increíblemente la experiencia. Regularmente trabajo de forma simultánea haciendo videoconferencias (Zoom, Meet, Teams) + PowerPoint + Google Chrome + grabar la pantalla, la iPad no se entera, no se calienta ni se pone lenta. Cuando no la uso para trabajar o monitorear otros equipos (Real VNC, Azure), la uso para estudiar (video, PDFs, ePubs, etc.), para escuchar música o podcasts, para ver YouTube o HBO, etc. Si agrega el Apple Pencil 2ª Gen*, la iPad se convierte (no es una exageración) en una tabla de dibujo de primera para diseñar lo que sea (⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐). Es un producto bien pensado, pero seguramente mi próxima compra será una Surface pues siendo desarrollador no es negociable la falta de acceso a la consola, la falta de soporte para aplicaciones de escritorio o la falta de soporte para más de un monitor. La calidad de su pantalla fue una agradable e inesperada sorpresa, nunca fue tan fácil trabajar en exteriores (⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐). He tenido varios dispositivos móviles, ninguno se acerca a la velocidad de esta iPad Pro, pero siendo sinceros, tampoco al precio. * Concentrador de Anker - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09Q5V9G5P (para funcionar correctamente, este concentrador requiere una alimentación de poder de 100W† no suministrada con el concentrador) ** Comprar el Apple Pencil 2ª gen por separado es más barato - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07K1WWBJK † Alimentación de poder (100W) Anker - https://www.amazon.com/-/es/dp/B0C1FZWT8M

First Apple product ever. Still getting used to the UI almost a year later, but it’s been worth the effort. I’ve struggled with digital art for years and decided to replace my Intuos Pro with an iPad + Apple Pencil instead of a Cintiq. I tried my best with the Intuos Pro, but being able to draw directly on the picture has improved my digital art experience dramatically. I also love the fact that I can draw anywhere versus being connected to a computer had I bought the Cintiq. I can’t comment on the iPad’s various other features since I use ibis Paint almost exclusively. The screen is beautiful though. Many artists seem to prefer paper-texture screen protectors, but I went with a glass-texture screen protector after reading claims of the paper-texture wearing down the Apple Pencil’s nib. Hope this helps

I love this thing so much. Made my work flow soar. I didn’t realize how much I needed it.

Lo ameee, escribo esto desde el después de 2 años de haberlo comprado

Device came as expected everything runs butter smooth with no lag. Have recently made the switch from android to apple products. Overall am very please with how smooth things run and sync between the ipad and iPhone. I feel like it is more seamless than the android devices I have previously used.Screen size is perfect I feel for my uses the 12.9” was going to be a little too large and hinder some of the portability. Price is a bit steep, but that seem to be the way apple products run. If this didn’t run as flawlessly as it does the price would have made it harder to commit to purchasing.

usada pero funciona bien y si solo lo anticipado 80%de batería y que un parlante dejo de funcionar pero creo q pudo ser de una caída pero ya tiene casi 2 años conmigo y si todo lo demás funciona super
