What reviewers say
Reviewers praise the OLED display, M4 performance and remarkably thin, light design, with Trusted Reviews and TechRadar calling it the best tablet they had used. The common complaint is the very high price, especially with accessories; Trusted Reviews and Wired also found iPadOS limiting, and Wired felt there was little software yet to exploit the M4.
