here to hoping one day they put as much effort into the graphics performance of their laptops as they do in their iPhone and ipad…..

That being said im really liking the design of the new ipad pro!
 
It's just gorgeous, so gorgeous! But we will have to see if it's as lightweight as I think it should... Because I was hoping to buy a new iPad Mini, and well, it wasn't upgraded.

I wish a smaller iPad Pro was announced, completing the lineup: 9" - 11" - 13"

Now, between an 11" iPad Pro and the new MacBook Air... I'm really confused, but I'll probably end up with the new MacBook Air. But damn, this new iPad Pro Is GORGEOUS!

Thanks for the pricing chart. The 11” 64 GB seems like the perfect size. The 12.9 I handled in the past was just too large and unwieldy for my uses. I think the 11” iPad will back order quickly.

Yeah, even tho the new12.9” is 1” shorter than the previous version, i’m leaning towards the 11” as well. Portability plus power. Can’t beat that.
 
Also, I don't know why they don't give a shout-out to creative professionals by leveraging the USB-C to turn the iPad into a Cintiq-like device. Sure there are apps that do the same thing but why pay for them...come'on Apple!
 
I ordered a couple Apple pencils. I'll wait for the ipad to get a discount. Pencils could go out of stock.
 
Pulled the trigger on the iPad Pro with Pencil to replace the original pro. I also bought a MacBook Air as a gift for my stepson. Will be getting everything on November 7 just in time for happy stuff in case the election disappoints me.
 
Genius move!

By keeping the old (now crappy) 10.5" iPad Pro available they raised the price of it's replacement by $150 (to the starting point of the old 12.9") and bumped the starting point for the 12.9" by $200.

Yeah, why can't they have macOS when hooked up to a monitor? Even the Samsung S8 switches to a "full" OS when hooked up to a screen with a special cable?

As it stands, you hook one of these to an external monitor and ... then what? Without a pointer, you have no way to interact with anything on the external screen, so all it's really useful for is mirroring, which isn't useful at all for me.
 
So how would it drive an external 5K monitor? Its a USB-C connection not T3..... no mention of it in the specs or anywhere else.
 
No headphone jack = no sale

The same shi.tty 10 hour battery life from a decade ago

NO OLED

Ridiculous prices

Indeed the 10.5 is my last iPad. F. you, Apple
