For artists, photographers, vigorous note-takers, productivity die-hards, and other creative professionals, a tablet can be a handy second device for getting work done.Apple’s 2024 11-inch iPad Pro, with its fast M4 processor and impressive OLED display, is the best pro tablet we’ve tested. Apple’s updated Magic Keyboard and Pencil Pro accessories, designed to complement the newest iPad Pro, are also noticeable upgrades compared with past versions. But if you decide to splurge for the iPad Pro and both accessories, you’ll spend at least $1,400.If you don’t want to pay iPad Pro prices, we also recommend the Apple M3 iPad Air. You miss out on only a few “pro” features while saving hundreds of dollars—the 11-inch iPad Air is $400 less than the comparable iPad Pro model and offers a similar experience.
