I upgraded my 2011 iPad 2 a few weeks ago to a 10.5 Pro. This is the perfect tablet experience. Don't think I've touched my laptop since I got it. I can't find a single flaw:

Beautiful 10.5 inch laminated Retina display with true tone.
Zippy 120hz refresh rate
4GB ram
Solid form factor that is easy to bring around

If anyone is on the fence about getting a tablet...get the Pro 10.5. Won't regret it.

I wish iPad could be docked and used as a full desktop environment as needed when docked... To have this in this form factor would be amazing

I bought one 2 years ago (or whenever they first came out) and I literally use it every single day for everything.

Great to hear. I just ordered a 10.5 yesterday. I went back and forth on whether to get the 12.9 ipad, but it just seemed too bulky.

We'll see, but I look forward to leaving the MBP at home.

I'm on the fence. I have an original Ipad Pro and use it everyday. The keyboard is a key part to it for me and the one Apple has is perfect.

You sound like a great candidate for a MS Surface Pro.

Hard to say if the upgrade is worth it for an original Pro. You'll get the 120HZ refresh and true tone (I think both have 4GB of ram) but depends on if that is worth the price difference for you.

Coming from an iPad 2...it is incredible. Amazing how far tech has advanced in 6 years.

No doubt coming from a 2 is a huge upgrade. I'll have to take a look at one at Costco and see if it the screen size makes enough of a difference which is the main attraction for me.

Wait until iOS 11 comes out. The multitasking and app dock look awesome

I actually already have a Surface Book...I just prefer the form factor of the Ipad with the apps as well...A hybrid would be perfect. They would sell the hell out of it!

Currently running a 12.9 with a Logitech CREATE case with smart connect keyboard.

Haven't opened my personal laptop in a year.

Not enough to make up for the drop in sales of macbooks and iPads. Otherwise they would do it

$399 is a great deal for a 9.7 pro. Would have probably sprung for that as opposed to the $649 10.5.

I have no buyers remorse though. This thing is incredible.

the extra 2gb of ram in the 10.5 should hold up better use wise over time.
