The 9.7-inch iPad Pro is a iOS tablet that was released by Apple Inc. in March, 2016. It received very positive reviews for its excellent build quality and a slim, lightweight design. Users fell in love with the QHD display whose clear and sharp picture output sits comfortably on top of the competition. The iPad’s more appealing features were its strong performance, a great camera and commendable battery life. However, critics raised a bit of concern over iOS’s multitasking capabilities and a cramped optional keypad. All in all, the iPad Pro 9.7 is one of the best conventionally sized tablets in the market.
Pros

- light design Fantastic screen
- Very strong performance
- Best camera on a tablet
- Decent battery
Cons
- iOS is still not great at multitasking
Bottom Line
Combining the power of the original 12.9-inch iPad Pro with the thin and compact design of the iPad Air 2, the 9.7-inch Pro is truly a remarkable device. Additionally, it comes with an excellent screen and a gorgeous camera. If your wallet can match the price tag, this is the tablet to get.

This model takes almost all the power of the iPad Pro we saw last year, and crams it into a smaller, more manageable body. In addition, there's an improved display and a camera that surpasses any I've seen on a tablet before.

It's still not a full-fledged laptop killer, but the new 9.7-inch iPad Pro is the best iPad ever made -- a near-perfect balance of tablet power and portability.
