The price difference is 4200 yuan, which will show you who is worth buying the new iPad Pro/Air

Just now, the special event of Apple "Let's Fly" officially ended. Not surprisingly, this launch conference brought new iPad Air and iPad Pro, with different surprises in terms of configuration upgrade. Now, the prices of several products have also come out. If you missed this launch conference, you can take a look at the parameter comparison table we made:

If you need to change your tablet recently, but do not know which one to start with, it is very difficult. You can read this article to see the functions and configurations you really need, and it is not too late to start again.

one If you want to change the Apple tablet, you mainly play games and watch videos: buy the iPad Air 11 inch

The iPad Air series has always been It is famous for its thin and light design, high performance and a series of functions optimized for productivity and entertainment. This time, the iPad Air is upgraded to M2 chip in terms of performance. In fact, its performance is quite good. It has jumped out of the tablet category. Even in the notebook field, it may be above the average level. It is absolutely enough to play games and watch videos everyday, Some 3A masterpieces can be played smoothly.

However, relatively speaking, the iPad Air also has a "toothpaste squeeze" situation. The most critical thing is that the performance is improved, but the LCD screen+60Hz refresh rate, not to mention ProMotion. In this regard, card configuration is really unnecessary. In addition, this time, the iPad Air has a new 13 inch large screen version, which is only available for 60Hz. Cook, you can have a snack.

However, this time, the iPad Air can also be said to increase the amount without increasing the price. The memory upgrade starts at 128GB, and the price is still 4799 yuan. I still want to praise Apple.

two IPad series old users, professional painting needs: replace iPad Pro

If you are an old user of the iPad series and want to experience the leading tablet products in the industry today, or have professional painting needs, the 60Hz refresh rate can not meet your creative conditions, this iPad Pro is quite worth recommending.

First of all, the iPad Pro directly skips M3 from M2 in terms of performance, and uses M4 chips with the second generation 3nm manufacturing process in one step. According to Apple's official statement, both speed and operation performance are 4 or 5 times higher than that of the previous generation. It is worth noting here that the 256GB and 512GB memory versions of the iPad Pro are equipped with the "blood wrecked version M4". The CPU contains nine cores, one less performance core than the "full blood version M4" of the 1TB and 2TB memory versions. Users who are concerned about extreme performance recommend buying the next two memory versions.

LCD screen has a natural disadvantage in terms of color accuracy compared with OLED screen, and iPad Pro has also directly adopted one The "Ultra Precision Reticulum XDR" OLED screen, in which two OLED screens are directly superimposed, has finally achieved the global brightness of 1000nit, and the local peak brightness of 1600nit of HDR. It is rare to see that the screen brightness is so full from a tablet. It seems that Apple has really defined the iPad Pro as a "user-friendly" product.

For professional painters and designers, this latest release of Apple Pencil Pro is also worth experiencing. Compared with the original version, it has added several sensors inside the pen body. When painting, you only need to gently pinch, rotate the brush tip, and double-click the screen to quickly switch brush tools, greatly improving efficiency; Apple Pencil Pro also supports hover preview, so you can see the effect of writing in advance without touching the screen.

It can be said that if your budget is particularly adequate and you can accept to spend 10000 to 20000 yuan on a versatile tablet product, iPad Pro is indeed a rare choice on the market.

three Want to try the new tablet: neither is recommended

For most users who just want to buy a tablet and have no specific needs, the author really does not recommend the two new products, the iPad Air The starting price of the iPad Pro is 4799 yuan and 8999 yuan, respectively. At this price, you can buy several Android tablets as flat substitutes. What's more, the iPad OS system is not so easy to use, and it is not convenient to download software. Buying "iQIYI" may be hanging in the balance, and the big probability is that the corner will be ruined.

If you especially want to "sink" into the Apple tablet, it is recommended to purchase the previous generation iPad Air and iPad Mini with more favorable prices to see if they are suitable for you. The tablet is not like a mobile phone, the chip iteration speed is not so fast, and the M1 chip does not run some heavy software and games. In fact, I can play pretty well.

Write at the end:

In conclusion, although the iPad Air and iPad Pro have their own upgrade points, the product attributes of the tablet itself define that it is not suitable for frequent replacement. After all, the frequency of use is far less than that of mobile phones, and the relatively higher price makes many users "look back". In the future, ZOL will also start these two products at the first time and bring you hands-on reviews. Interested users, please continue to pay attention.
