Apple's highly anticipated "PC-Killer," the iPad Pro, will be available for ordering online starting Wednesday, Nov. 11, with the 12.9-inch tablet arriving in retail stores, its carrier partners and Apple authorized resellers later this week, according to The Street.
The release of the device is coupled with the launch of its two primary accessories, the Apple Pencil and the new Smart Keyboard, which are priced at $99 and $169, respectively.
While there has been significant concern about the device using iOS instead of a full-fledged operating system like Windows 10 for Microsoft's Surface Pro 4, Apple Senior Vice President of Worldwide Marketing Philip Schiller believes there should be plenty of apps that are available which can take advantage of the massive real estate of the device, reports PC Mag.
"The early response to iPad Pro from app developers and our customers has been incredible, and we're excited to get iPad Pro into the hands of customers around the world this week. The iPad Pro is the most powerful iPad we've ever made, giving users the ability to be even more creative and more productive with the epic 12.9-inch Retina display," he said.
Though the device is undoubtedly a powerhouse, Apple's most powerful tablet commands a very high price. Starting at $799 for the base model, the premier 128 GB, LTE model will set customers back as much as $1,079, which is already more expensive than the company's Macbook Air.
