You can order Apple’s 12.9in iPad Pro this Wednesday

Apple has revealed that the iPad Pro will be available to order online, from Wednesday 11 November.

The 12.9in tablet is the company’s largest and most powerful slate yet – and it’s got a price tag to match. The 32GB Wi-Fi model will set you back £680, and that jumps up to a hefty £900 for the 128GB Wi-Fi/cellular model.

Available in classic Apple silver, gold and space grey, you’ll also be able to snap up the £80 Apple Pencil, along with a £140 Smart Keyboard, if you fancy it, or a cheaper $50 Smart Cover.

With a large, pixel-packed display, powerful A9X processor and dedicated stylus, the Pro is aimed at professionals who want to be productive on-the-go, without having to lug around a laptop.

Its primary competition, the Microsoft Surface Pro 4, however, runs Windows 10 – a full desktop OS – which could potentially beat the Pro on the software front.

We’ll know for sure once we get our hands on one for our full review, so stay tuned.
