Apple’s largest tablet is the iPad Pro (2021), available from €1100.

The tablet has enough RAM in this configuration (8 GB), but with the storage memory of 128 GB you will probably run into the limit in the long run. More storage memory is possible for a (considerable) surcharge. A keyboard cover costs at least € 199.
What stands out is the speed of the iPad Pro. The used Apple M1 processor is also in Apple’s modern MacBooks. Also handy: the iPad has a USB-C port with support for Thunderbolt 3. This way you can connect a USB-C hub to the iPad for more functions. The iPad’s mini LED display is stunning with a high refresh rate of 120 Hz and a sharp resolution of 2732 by 2048 pixels.
The iPad Pro is thin and light (682 grams) and can easily last a long day on a battery charge. The cameras are good, especially for video calling. However, Apple’s iPadOS software feels somewhat limited in computing capabilities. Positive is the five-year update policy.
