"When you pick up an iPad Pro equipped with an M5 processor you're not only picking up a tablet more powerful than most laptops, you're also picking up a passport to tomorrow, with a tablet that's quite capable of running on-device AI. Tomorrow's tablet is here Why does this matter? Well, look at the speed with which AI technologies are evolving and the billions of dollars being spent on improving the models they use."
"In hand, I have an 11-inch iPad Pro with Wi-Fi + Cellular, 1TB of storage, standard glass screen. It costs $1,799 (and can easily power an external display at up to 120Hz). Working with the iPad showed me two things: That it is absolutely more powerful than a user like me needs most of the time. That it can happily handle complex apps and workflows. That this surplus performance means it will be equally capable of handling really demanding apps that haven't even been introduced yet."
The M5 iPad Pro pairs high-end computational power with readiness for on-device AI, enabling local model inference as AI workloads shift from the cloud. Rapid AI model development and investment are creating more on-device opportunities that the M5 hardware can support. A tested 11-inch model with Wi‑Fi + Cellular, 1TB storage, and a standard glass screen costs $1,799 and can drive external displays at up to 120Hz. The device’s surplus performance handles complex apps and workflows, supports professional image and video editing in mobile environments, and positions the tablet as a durable, second‑hand market performer.
