ipadproApple’s entry into the world of 2-in-1 devices the iPad Pro is here…but it’s not cheap.

Featuring a 12.9 inch screen, the new iPad Pro can be used a tablet device…or transformed into a Notebook computer with a separate, full size add-on smart keyboard.

…and the price?  Well a base model 32 gig iPad Pro…without a smart keyboard or the new ‘pencil’ stylus will set you back  $1249…and that’s just the wi-fi model.

You can add the smart-keyboard for $269 and pencil to that for $165…and if you move up to the model with mobile connectivity and 128gig of storage you’ll be spending $2133 for the lot (or $1933 for Wi-Fi only model).

In comparison, A Microsoft’s Surface Pro 4 with 128G with an Intel Core i5 Processor will set you back $1698
