New for 2025

iPad Pro 13-inch (M5)

This is the slate to buy when a tablet has to double as a serious work tool and you refuse to compromise on the screen. The tandem OLED panel is the best display on any tablet, the M5 chip chews through 4K editing and demanding apps, and pairing it with the Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil Pro turns it into a credible laptop replacement. It is overkill and overpriced for anyone who mostly streams and browses, but for creative pros and power users it is the clear ceiling of the category.

How the Buy-timing Score is calculated

We combine today's price position within this product's own 12-month range, its distance from the all-time low, and the recent trend. The score reflects price timing and is the same in every market; only the displayed prices and retailers change. We never accept payment to change a score. Read the full methodology →
