Poll: are you planning on buying iPad Pro?

Christian Zibreg ∙ Updated October 16, 2018

Apple's new iPad Pro with its epic 12.9-inch display, super smooth performance courtesy of Apple's third-generation 64-bit 'A9X' microchip, four speaker audio, enhanced multitouch technology with lag-free Apple Pencil performance—to name but a few of its headline features—doesn't file as the most attractive, powerful iOS device but also the priciest yet.

Starting at $799 for the entry level Wi-Fi-only 32 GB model and going all the way up to a whopping $1,079 for the flagship Wi-Fi + Cellular edition with 128 GB of storage, the iPad Pro will essentially compete with Apple's own MacBook Air and Microsoft's Surface Pro tablet with a similar price level.

It won't be available until November and launch quantity will be limited, which doesn't mean you shouldn't start saving now for the device, quite the contrary. But the big question is, will you buy an iPad Pro?
