The new M4 iPad Pro 11-inch is a marvel of engineering, thinner than an iPod Nano and more powerful than most laptops. However, without a dedicated keyboard, you’re essentially holding a high-end monitor without a steering wheel. Finding the right balance between weight, protection, and tactile feedback is crucial for a pro workflow. After testing…
