I'm not going to try to do a full review of this thing. If you want that, visit one of the endless websites or videos. Instead, I am going to go over some of the things you may not hear as much about.
USB 3. This is a big one for me. I have dumped my MacBook Pro in favor of the iPad Pro for on the go photo editing. With Lightroom Mobile and a USB 3 to Lightning adapter, this is very possible. I was doing this on the iPad Air 2, and it was ok, but the RAW files took a long time to download off my memory card. With this iPad Pro, the connection is full USB 3 speed. Now I can download my CF card at nearly the full 165MB/s rating, meaning the photo fly onto this device in no time. On a set of 200 photos, this will save me over 10 minutes of time!
Cases: There are not many out at the time of this review. And especially in the keyboard case area, it's slim pickings. If you are picky about your case, you may want to wait a few months as more are surely to arrive.
Finish: The space gray color is really nice. Matches my phone and watch perfectly. After a few days of not having a case, it doesn't show any scratches and finger prints don't show well. That isn't to say the finish won't scratch, but it's nice to know that it's tough enough to survive if needed.
Microphones. The microphone position has changed. It used to be closer to the rear facing camera. For taking impromptu videos of the kids, that was nice. But the new position is easy to cover with my large hands. Just be careful or you will end up with muddled sound
Battery: The battery life is excellent. Even with playing a smattering of games, watching content, surfing the web, reading news, etc, I have found my average battery life is 12 hours before needing a recharge.
Charging: The flip side of that is charging. Charging this does take a bit longer, as it's a heftier battery inside. But, if you get a USB C 30W charger with a USB C to lighting cable, you can take advantage of quick charging to give yourself juice faster. This is not something Apple has been advertising, but it's a nice touch.
Plus, it really is faster, the screen is bigger, and it's a great experience.
Now onto my review of the actual product.
I am very impressed with this iPad it's very powerful, almost too thin, speakers actually sound decent. In terms of my main use (art) this is incredible. Using the Apple pencil and Astropad this is essentially a Wacom Cintiq when you need it, a tablet to zone out to apps or media when needed, and a nice screen for reading. The refresh rate is no joke 120 is noticeable and the screen being laminated to the glass makes it feel like you are drawing directly onto it not like drawing on other screens. The price is high, VERY HIGH, but I think if you are a creative and can incorporate this into your daily workflow it is well worth it especially for how versatile it is. My only gripe with the iPad itself is the camera bump it is almost exactly the thickness of a penny and if you don't have a case on the back it will make itself very well known if rotating or sliding your hand across the back to adjust grip.
Overall 9.8/10 would buy again.
I can not speak for the magnetic dock and keyboard because I have no intention on using this as a laptop replacement unless iOS 11 is just THAT good, highly doubtful though.
