Is the M5 iPad Pro worth it over the M4?

If you already own an M4 model, the jump is small and hard to justify. Buyers coming from older iPads or without a Pro get the biggest gain in speed and display quality.

How much RAM does it have?

This 512 GB configuration lists 8 GB of RAM. That is fine for most apps, but heavy multitasking and large layered files will feel tighter than on higher-memory models.

Does it work with the Apple Pencil and Magic Keyboard?

It uses Apple's current Pencil and keyboard accessories for the 11-inch Pro, which are sold separately. Check accessory compatibility before buying if you own older ones.

Is the 11-inch screen big enough for drawing and editing?

It is a good balance of canvas size and portability at 15.7 oz. If you work with large multi-panel layouts, the 13-inch model gives more room.

When is the price likely to be lowest?

iPad Pro discounts tend to deepen around Black Friday and during Apple's back-to-school period. The current $1,044.99 at eBay as of November 5, 2026 is a reference point to compare against.
