Best 13-inch iPad Pro tablets

Top pick: the 13-inch iPad Pro (M5), 256GB Wi-Fi. It's the current generation, so you get the M5 chip, the Ultra Retina XDR OLED display with 10–120Hz ProMotion, and the full Apple Pencil Pro and Magic Keyboard support — the most future-proof 13-inch tablet you can buy, and the 256GB Wi-Fi model is the sensible starting point for most people.

Who the others suit:

• More storage (512GB, 1TB): worth it if you keep big video projects, games or offline media on the device.
• Wi-Fi + Cellular: for people who work on trains, in cafés or on site and don't want to tether.
• AppleCare+ bundles: for anyone who'll carry it around daily and wants accidental-damage cover built in.
• M4 model: only if you find it clearly cheaper — it's a step behind on chip and Apple Pencil features.

Skip the nano-texture glass unless you work outdoors a lot; standard glass is sharper and cheaper.
