Buying call

Buy the 11-inch iPad Pro (M4) only well below the M5 model, since Apple dropped the M4 version when the M5 arrived in October 2025. It shares the M5's design, tandem OLED and Magic Keyboard support, and reviewers called its battery life excellent in web use. Skip it if you want iPadOS to replace a laptop, because pro app limits remain, and some testers saw heat under sustained loads. The iPad Air M4 is the better new buy for most people.
