I think the iPad Pro 10.5 is definitely a fantastic tablet and the best iPad available today especially the very very ridiculously powerful A10X chip and that 120Hz ProMotion technology in the screen/display and more and judging by the reviews and users it is is a beast of a tablet and IOS 11 will definitely make the iPad Pro 10.5 even better.
But since I have a iPad Air 2 which I owned for nearly 2 years now and still in very good condition and runs very well and the battery life is still fantastic and the things that I use it for are really pretty casual like web browsing, video watching and playing games, and set it and the iPad Air 2 is still very powerful and fast enough and still great for those type of things that I use my iPad Air 2 for.
I would love to upgrade to the new iPad Pro 10.5 but at the moment and I am definitely very happy with using my iPad Air 2 for another year or 2 before upgrading to a way newer and much more better iPad Pro 10.5 model in the future.
Currently, my iPad Air 1 is still chugging along for my needs. I am not yet trying to multi-task overly much, but the slide-over comes in handy at times, for sure. I'm surprised, to a degree, that it will be supported under iOS11, but am glad, nevertheless. I use it primarily as a consumption device, but have recently gotten some gear to enable the quality of recording I want to have, and while I primarily am focusing on my Mac, I want to really kick the tires on what can be accomplished through just an iPad.
There are a number of workable music production apps on the iPad, and THAT is exciting to me. Not all those apps are substantially hampered on iPad vs. Mac. If GarageBand can migrate to the iPad, then I can imagine Logic Pro on an iPad. I have a harder time imagining plug-ins in Logic Pro on an iPad, especially on a smaller screen, but the 12.9 Pro is the form factor that will allow for even we audiophiles to create exclusively on iPad without wanting to be killing ourselves or someone else in the process. At least, for me, I'm 95% certain it will.
