## What reviewers say

**Apple iPad Pro 13-inch (M5)** — Two whitelisted hands-on reviews (Tom's Guide, Engadget), both testing the 13-inch M5 iPad Pro, agree it is the best tablet available: a stunning tandem OLED, fast M5 performance and a far more capable iPadOS 26 multitasking system, but prohibitively expensive and a negligible upgrade over the M4. (2 sourced reviews.)
