The iPad Pro 2022 has now arrived on the scene, but that doesn’t mean this previous generation model isn’t still worthy of consideration, especially at such a heavily discounted price. 

In fact, even though it’s no longer the flagship, it still holds a spot on our roundup of the best tablets you can buy, which is a real testament to its quality. 

In our iPad Pro 2021 (12.9-inch) review, we praised pretty much everything about this tablet labeling it “the best, brightest and fastest iPad ever.” For starters, its 12.9-inch Liquid Retina XDR display looks stunning. Whether you’re watching a movie on one of the best streaming services, browsing through photos or editing videos, thanks to the 563 nits of brightness, it’ll all look incredible. 

This iPad is powered by the super-impressive M1 chip which delivers speedy performance even under a heavy workload. We were able to open a dozen Safari tabs and stream video at the same time without any noticeable hiccups. And, if you are worried about battery life, don’t be. We got 10 hours and 48 minutes of web browsing out of this Apple tablet before it needed to be recharged.

The iPad Pro 2021 also functions as a fantastic laptop replacement. But things do get a little pricey once you factor in the accessories such as the Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil 2, which retail for roughly $400 combined. However, even on its own, this iPad can still get the job done. So, don’t miss the chance to score this pro-level device at a discounted price.
