The release of Apple's iPad Pro is a move by the company to hopefully resuscitate its flailing sales in the tablet market.

The iPad Pro also comes with four speakers, so audio quality is guaranteed. The cameras found in other Apple products are made available in the iPad Pro.

This will allow the user to utilize the iPad Pro as a laptop. Hence, owners of iPad Pro could be spared of the experience of lugging around heavy laptops. Moreover, the Smart Keyboard is very light as it can be folded - a feature that will significantly add to the convenience quality of the iPad Pro.
