Is the M5 iPad Pro worth it over the M4 model?

If you already own an M4 iPad Pro, the jump is modest for most tasks. The M5 matters most for sustained video editing, 3D work, and AI-heavy apps.

Can it replace a laptop?

For writing, email, drawing, and media it can, especially with a keyboard. Heavy multitasking and desktop-only software still favor a laptop.

Yes, it supports Apple Pencil and Apple's keyboard accessories, but both are sold separately.

Apple rates it for all-day use, and owners report it lasting a full workday of mixed use. Heavy editing drains it faster.

It is fine for apps, documents, and streaming. Video editors and photographers should consider more storage or external drives.

The 13-inch gives much more room for split-screen work and drawing but is heavier to hold. The 11-inch is easier to carry and use one-handed.
