Is the M5 iPad Pro worth it over the iPad Air?

If you want the OLED display, Wi-Fi 7 and the fastest chip, yes. The iPad Air covers most everyday work for less.

Does it come with a keyboard or Apple Pencil?

No. The Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro and Apple Pencil Pro are sold separately.

How does it compare with the M4 iPad Pro?

The M5 adds Neural Accelerators for AI work and Wi-Fi 7. The display and design carry over.

Fine for documents, streaming and apps. Video editors and heavy gamers should consider more storage.

Does it run Mac apps?

No. It runs iPadOS apps from the App Store, though many pro creative apps are available.

Which Apple Pencil works with it?

Apple Pencil Pro, which adds squeeze, barrel roll and haptic feedback.

Our take on the iPad Pro M5 chip 256GB With Wi-Fi

The iPad Pro M5 is Apple's top tablet, built around the M5 chip with Neural Accelerators for on-device AI work, a Tandem OLED Ultra Retina XDR display and Wi-Fi 7. It suits designers, video editors and anyone who wants laptop-class power in a tablet. Against the MacBook Air it trades a keyboard and desktop apps for a touchscreen and Apple Pencil support; against the iPad Air it adds the brighter OLED panel and the faster chip. Buyers praise the screen and speed and note that the Magic Keyboard and Pencil are sold separately.
