Apple iPad Pro 12.9 (2020): The Magic Keyboard turns it into a notebook

The iPad Pro (2020) is currently the best tablet on the market. As promised by the manufacturer, it is significantly faster than its Android competition, its well-calibrated True Tone display is a blessing for creative professionals, the user experience is incredibly smooth, the stereo sound produced by the 4 speakers is excellent and the battery life is at the top end compared to other devices within its category as well.

Apple is still holding on to its claim that the iPad Pro can fully replace a laptop. This applies to both the 12.9-inch and the 11-inch model. Aside from the usual accessories, which include the Apple Pencil (135 Euros/$129) and the Smart Keyboard (219 Euros/~$159), the Magic Keyboard will thus be available for both tablets at the end of May. The accessory is supposed to transform the tablet into a notebook.

The Magic Keyboard costs a hefty 399 Euros (~$349). For the price, buyers receive a full-featured notebook keyboard with backlit keys and an integrated touchpad. As with the Smart Keyboard, the Magic Keyboard magnetically attaches to the iPad Pro, but unlike the former, the Magic Keyboard suspends the tablet in the air above the keyboard, which allows users to freely adjust the angle.

The iPad Pro 12.9 (2020) can be purchased starting from 1099 Euros ($999). With the base model, buyers get 128 GB of storage and Wi-Fi connectivity. The top configuration includes 1 TB of storage space and an additional LTE module for 1819 Euros ($1649). The iPad Pro 11 (2020) starts at 879 Euros ($799).
