You can find Apple's most powerful iPad at the cheapest it's ever been right now — $100 off

Anyone who's been holding out to upgrade an ageing iPad may want to take a look at Amazon right now, because there's a heckuva deal on the most powerful tablet Apple makes. In both sizes.

Right now, you can get the 11-inch M5 iPad Pro for $899 and/or the 13-inch M5 iPad Pro for $1149 — in both cases, that's the lowest price I've ever seen.

It beats the discounts available during Black Friday and that should be all the encouragement you need to move fast on this.

The 11-inch iPad Pro packs Apple's latest M5 processor paired with a stunning 11-inch Tandem OLED (2420 x 1668) display. The new M5 chip features 9 CPU cores and 10 GPU cores — each with their own AI accelerator that makes this a monster for tackling intensive tasks.

Apple 13" iPad Pro (WiFi/256GB): was $1,299 now $1,149 at Amazon

The 13-inch iPad Pro is for those who want even more screen real estate for better multitasking and more productivity. You get the same M5 processor with its 9 CPU cores and 10 GPU cores, but the display is the star of the show here. The Ultra Retina XDR OLED panel with its 2,000,000:1 contrast ratio and 2,360 x 1,640 resolution will probably put your TV to shame.

Not that you were in any doubt, but the M5 iPad Pro isn't just one of the best iPads you can buy, it's raw power and mesmerizing screen means it outperforms some of the best laptops too. In our full review, we awarded it 4.5 stars and called it "a phenomenal Apple tablet that can do just about anything."

The M5 processor was the headline upgrade from the M4 iPad Pro and Apple's latest silicon shines no matter what you throw at it.

Designers, coders and content creators won't see a hint of lag while they're in the flow and thanks to the efficiency of the chip (and iPadOS 26 on board) the battery life is excellent. You can expect will over 13 hours of life from the 13-inch M5 iPad Pro and 11 hours from its smaller sibling.

Here's how far ahead the M5 iPad Pro comes out when compared with its predecessor and Samsung's Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra.

The performance is one thing, but it's the screen through which you view it that had us rocked back on our heels with amazement when we tested the M5 iPad Pro.

Super screen

As with the M4 iPad Pro, this remains Apple's only OLED tablet. And what you get from the Ultra Retina XDR panel is incredible image quality with deep blacks and bright whites served up at a crisp 2,360 x 1,640 resolution and 2,000,000:1 contrast ratio.

With all this praise, is there anything to be wary about with the M5 iPad Pro? Kinda. We only docked it a point in our review for the expensive peripherals and accessories.

Which is a fair point — to get the best from this device you're going to want to invest in a Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil at the very least.

The good news is that with the money saved thanks to this deal, it's much more affordable to do that than it was just three short months ago when Apple launched this tablet.
