Introduction

After weeks of intensive testing, I’m ready to share my thoughts on the new iPad Pro – 2024 (7th Generation) M4 11-inch model, boasting 512GB of storage and a stunning silver finish. This international version, running on WiFi, promises a significant upgrade in both display technology and processing power. Let’s dive into the details to see if it lives up to the hype.

Features

The standout feature is undoubtedly the ultra retina XDR display with its tandem OLED technology. The brightness and contrast are simply phenomenal, making everything from watching movies to editing photos a joy. ProMotion and True Tone further enhance the viewing experience, ensuring smooth scrolling and accurate color representation. The M4 chip provides blistering performance, easily handling demanding tasks. The inclusion of a 12MP primary and secondary camera, with dual-tone flash, is also a welcome addition, capturing detailed and vibrant images.

Performance

The M4 chip is a beast. I pushed this iPad Pro to its limits, running multiple apps simultaneously, editing 4K video, and playing graphically demanding games. It handled everything with effortless grace, never exhibiting any lag or slowdown. The 8GB of RAM clearly contributes to this smooth performance. Battery life also impressed; I consistently got a full day’s use on a single charge, even with heavy usage. The fast charging feature is a definite plus, getting me back to full power quickly.

While the ‘No Voice Calling Capability’ is a limitation for some, the lack of a SIM card slot was expected given the WiFi-only configuration.

Pros & Cons

Pros: Stunning OLED display, incredibly powerful M4 chip, long battery life, fast charging, ample storage (512GB), sleek design, water and dust proof.

Cons: No expandable memory, no cellular connectivity (WiFi only), lack of voice calling functionality.

Final Verdict

The iPad Pro – 2024 (7th Generation) M4 11-inch is a top-tier tablet that delivers on its promises. The OLED display is a game-changer, and the M4 chip provides unparalleled performance. While the lack of expandable storage and cellular connectivity might be drawbacks for some, the overall experience is exceptional. If you’re looking for a premium tablet that excels in performance and visual quality, this is a strong contender. I highly recommend it for professionals and enthusiasts alike.
