The new M2 iPad Pro is a beast of a tablet.

We got our hands on the brand-new iPad Pro and put it through its paces for our review below.

Our reviewer, Ed Hardy, is an iPad guy. He uses an iPad as his main machine and has done so for years. He’s the definition of a power user.

We love it when a computer setup we’ve looked at before gets a facelift, or some sort of significant update.
