Top reviews from the United States
- Marcus JohanssonA true generational upgradeI upgraded to the 11” iPad Pro M5 from an iPad Air (3rd generation) with a cracked screen, and the difference is not subtle.
This is not a small performance bump.
This is not a minor refinement.
This is a completely different tier of device.
Comparing an older iPad Air to the M5 Pro almost feels unfair. The experience has fundamentally changed.
⸻
Display and 120Hz ProMotion: The Defining Feature
The most noticeable upgrade is the 120Hz ProMotion display.
Scrolling lecture slides, writing notes, zooming diagrams, and moving between apps all feel significantly smoother and more precise. Once you spend extended time taking notes on a ProMotion display, returning to a 60Hz screen feels noticeably less responsive.
For long study sessions, this matters. The smoother motion reduces visual fatigue, improves handwriting accuracy, and makes the entire workflow feel more natural. When annotating slides in GoodNotes for hours at a time, the difference is obvious.
If you are deciding between an iPad Air and an iPad Pro, the refresh rate alone is a compelling reason to choose the Pro.
⸻
Performance: More Than You’ll Ever Need — In a Good Way
The M5 chip provides more performance than most people will ever fully use, which is exactly what you want in a long-term academic device.
Running GoodNotes with split screen, multiple PDFs, Safari tabs, and reference apps simultaneously is effortless. There is no stutter, no hesitation, and no delay when switching between tasks.
The device doesn’t feel fast so much as it feels completely unconcerned with workload. That kind of performance headroom allows you to focus on studying instead of managing apps or limitations.
⸻
Writing Directly on Lecture Slides: Ideal for Heavy Note-Taking
I purchased this iPad specifically to write extensive notes directly on lecture slides.
This is where the iPad Pro excels.
The combination of:
• 120Hz ProMotion
• Apple Pencil Pro support
• Extremely low latency
• Reliable palm rejection
makes digital handwriting feel intuitive and precise. Annotating dense slides, drawing diagrams, highlighting structures, and layering notes all feel smooth and natural. The device never lags behind your hand or interrupts your focus.
For workloads measured in hours per day rather than minutes, this level of responsiveness makes a real difference.
⸻
Size Choice: Why the 11” Works Best
I chose the 11” model and would make the same decision again.
It provides enough screen space for comfortable annotation and multitasking, while remaining easy to carry between lectures, libraries, and study spaces. It fits well in a backpack and works just as comfortably on a desk or in your lap.
For students who move frequently throughout the day, the 11” strikes an excellent balance.
⸻
Build Quality and Battery Life
The iPad Pro feels solid, lightweight, and well-built without feeling fragile. It handles daily academic use confidently, and the battery easily lasts through a full day of lectures and studying.
I have never felt concerned about battery life during normal use.
⸻
Who This Is For — And Who It Isn’t
This is a great choice if you:
• Are in a demanding academic field (medicine, law, engineering)
• Annotate lecture slides extensively
• Take handwritten digital notes daily
• Value smooth writing and navigation
• Plan to keep the device for several years
It may not be necessary if you:
• Use your iPad primarily for media consumption
• Rarely write or annotate by hand
• Do not benefit from a high refresh rate display
⸻
Pros
• 120Hz ProMotion significantly improves note-taking
• Exceptional performance with heavy multitasking
• Excellent experience for annotating lecture slides
• Portable yet productive size
• Feels well-positioned for long-term use
Cons
• Premium price, especially when paired with Apple Pencil
• More power than casual users may need
⸻
Final Verdict
Upgrading from an older iPad Air to the iPad Pro M5 feels like stepping into the version of the iPad that Apple has been working toward for years.
For students who plan to spend long days inside lecture slides and handwritten notes, this is not just a luxury device—it is a productivity tool. The smoothness, responsiveness, and lack of friction make sustained study sessions easier and more efficient.
Once you experience a Pro with a 120Hz display for serious academic work, it is difficult to go back. - Melita M.You cant go wrong with the M5 Ipad Pro!This was a replacement/upgrade from my previous IPad Pro (2021) and WOOOW! Its slimmer, sleeker and more lightweight than my previous iPad Pro: It's got a Stunning display - vibrant colors, deep contrast, and super smooth scrolling and animations.
The M5 Chip is definitely a BEAST and makes for seamless browsing, streaming, gaming etc. Battery life is alos GREAT. I charge it about every 2/3 days!!!!
I would highly recommend this iPad Pro if you want a SOLID, Great quality, powerful, sleek tablet that performs like a premium device should. It’s most certainly and absolutely worth the investment. - Stanley RobertsMade wife happy!Very fast, battery last longer and my wife is very happy with it! Extremely good product!
- Don GriffisFast, beautiful and quality made.This was a gift to my wife, replacing her older iPad. The display quality and speed of this iPad is magnitudes improved over her older iPad (Air). Highly recommend!!
- Henry JosephGood dealI’ve been using my new iPad Pro 11-inch for a while now and it’s been an absolute joy. The display is simply stunning — vibrant colors, deep contrast, and super smooth scrolling and animations thanks to the high refresh rate. It makes everything from watching videos to browsing the web feel premium. 
Performance-wise, this tablet is a beast. Apps launch instantly, multitasking is effortless, and whether I’m editing photos, gaming, or streaming content, it handles everything without breaking a sweat. The battery life comfortably lasts through a full day of varied use, which is perfect for both work and play. 
I also love how lightweight and portable it feels — it’s big enough for productivity but still easy to carry around. Build quality and design are top-notch as expected from Apple. Accessories like the Apple Pencil and keyboards make it even more versatile (though sold separately), turning this into a real productivity machine.
Overall, I’d highly recommend this iPad Pro if you want a powerful, beautiful, and reliable tablet that performs like a premium device should. It’s absolutely worth the investment. - Joel nannFantastic valueThis is the most fantastic iPad I've ever encountered in this life it does everything thank you Apple
- Christian mAmazon won’t allow returns even if you make a mistake and even if it’s never opened !!!!!!I bought this for my son and he wanted the m5 labtop and I tried returning it to get store credit so I didn’t have to wait 7 days for the money to get back into my card so I could purchase the labtop right away before Christmas’s but Amazon will not allow you to get store credit back so just know if you purchase a iPad from amazon as a gift they won’t be allowed to return it so I kept it for my self and the iPad is great and very responsive and super light and thin but I just wish I knew prior Amazon won’t allow you to return items so expensive for now on I’ll be buying from Best Buy because they will allow returns other then that the device is great but just watch out and make sure you really want it.
