- Is the M5 iPad Pro worth it over the M4?
- If you already own an M4 model, the jump is modest for most tasks. The M5's gains show most in heavy AI and pro-app work, so buy it for the screen and cellular if you are upgrading from older models.
- Can it replace a laptop?
- For writing, drawing, video editing and email, yes, especially with the Magic Keyboard. For complex spreadsheets, coding or heavy file management, iPadOS still falls short of a Mac.
- How long does the battery last?
- Apple rates it at about 10 hours of web browsing or video. Heavy editing or 5G use will drain it faster, so plan on charging most days.
- Does it work with Apple Pencil Pro and the Magic Keyboard?
- Yes, it supports Apple Pencil Pro and the Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro, both sold separately. Older Pencil and keyboard models may not fit.
- What is in the box?
- You get the iPad Pro, a 1-meter USB-C cable, a 20W USB-C power adapter and, on the nano-texture glass version, a polishing cloth. The Pencil and keyboard are not included.
- Is the nano-texture glass worth choosing?
- It noticeably cuts glare and fingerprints, which helps outdoors and under studio lights. It costs more and can slightly soften fine detail, so pick it only if glare is a real problem.
