iPad Pro M4 — the tablet that replaces your laptop

iPad Pro M4 is Apple’s thinnest and most powerful tablet. The M4 chip (the same one in the MacBook Pro), OLED display, and new software make it a serious laptop alternative.

Design

5.1 mm thin — incredibly slim. A 13-inch screen in a compact body. Aluminum build, lightweight (starting at 579 g), and four speakers with spatial audio.

OLED Display

Tandem OLED, 1000 nits HDR, 120 Hz ProMotion. Deep blacks, vibrant colors, perfect contrast. For drawing and photo viewing, it’s the best display on the tablet market.

Performance

The M4 chip isn’t a cut-down version — it’s the real deal. Renders 4K video in DaVinci Resolve, runs AAA games, and works with Apple Intelligence. Up to 16 GB of RAM at the top tier.

Accessories

Apple Pencil Pro — rotation, tactile feedback, squeeze gesture. Magic Keyboard — a full keyboard with a trackpad and USB-C port. With these, the iPad becomes a laptop.

Verdict

Pros:

  • Top-tier OLED display
  • Laptop-class performance
  • Thin and lightweight
  • Best-in-class accessories

Cons:

  • iPadOS limits software options
  • Price with keyboard matches a MacBook
  • No proper file manager

Rating: ⭐ 4.5 / 5
