The iPad Pro features the Apple M2 chip and a bunch of tweaks, but is it necessary? 🇧🇷 Practical video

Another detail worth mentioning here is that the tablet’s thinness is not intimidating and has a good sense of strength. The new iPad Pro with the M2 chip also retains four speakers from the previous generation to ensure stereo sound and it must be said that the sound quality of the device is great.

We have a loud, well-defined sound with good calibration, even if it lacks a little bass at times.

Additionally, there is a USB-C Thunderbolt port for charging or even connecting portable hard drives or SSDs. Finally, the tablet comes with a complete set in the box, something very different from the iPhones.

This results in good images and color reproduction that can stand out in any scenario, including professional use. Another advantage is that this panel is very close to the contrast offered by OLED screens, the maximum brightness can reach over 1000 nits on some select content and there is still a 120Hz refresh rate.

Of course, the fact that the processor of this tablet is Apple Silicon M2 is what makes the iPad Pro as powerful as the MacBook Air or MacBook Pro. Overall, the new model has seen a slight increase in CPU performance compared to its predecessor.

The biggest improvement is in graphics performance, which is between 30 and 50% more than the tablet equipped with the Apple M1. Either way, this tablet lets you do almost everything a MacBook can.

From editing photos in Photoshop or videos in LumaFusion, working with documents, 3D modeling and rendering or playing some casual games.

Here in the iPad Pro, the Apple M2 chip is paired with 16GB of RAM, which is plenty for a tablet but essential for pro-level tasks.

As for the battery of the tablet, here we have the same capacity as its predecessor. Considering a very common use case, watching videos and doing basic tasks, the autonomy can reach 9 hours.

However, using the device for 3D modeling and video and photo editing, it drops to about 4 1/2 hours. Finally, to charge the tablet we still have the usual 20W charger

The program can now offer more flexible and intuitive multitasking, allowing the user to quickly switch between open applications.

But the iPad remains a product that only has to work with one app open at a time, or two apps in extreme cases. The main reason is that everything in iPadOS is still somewhat streamlined.

And this means that Apple needs to work so that iPadOS takes advantage of the hardware of this device much more, since here we have a chip capable of doing more than is currently required.

An interesting novelty is that it is now possible to connect the iPad Pro to an external monitor for better multitasking work. Of course, iPadOS also continues to do well in what is already standard on the device.

This makes the iPad Pro endearing to designers who need a drawing tablet with the Apple Pencil.

Overall, this group of cameras delivers iPhone-level imaging quality.

Therefore, this iPad Pro with M2 chip also cannot replace the workstation of a professional who deals with photos, for example. However, it could be a kind of complement or even a temporary hiatus.

Citing an architect as an example, he can use the rear camera to take a picture, scan some elements, and insert them into his project. Professionals in this genre, like designers, find the iPad Pro to be a great ally.

I also mention here the photographers, who can take a photo, quickly edit it and send it to the client using their iPad. On the other hand, for us mere mortals, this iPad is rather big, overpriced, and basically useless.

Not that it’s bad. Quite the contrary, it is a tablet that has no competitors in the market. However, like every Apple device, it is very expensive. More so in Brazilian territory.

iPad Pro with M2 launched for R$13,300 in the version with 128GB of storage and Wi-Fi only. If you agree to get the 2TB version with cellular connectivity, that price shoots up to an incredible R$28,500.

Therefore, the range of iPad Pro with M2 is rather small, since not everyone has the money to buy it. Anyway, if you have the money and you are a professional who needs a powerful tool for the job, then iPad Pro with M2 might be a great choice for you.

Finally, Apple is not going to lower the price of this device just because there is a strong complaint, even abroad, about the values ​​being exercised. Therefore, the company offers less expensive options, such as the tenth generation iPad.

It is aimed at the general public and can even be obtained “easier”.
