Apple iPad Pro 12.9" 4th Generation 2020, A12Z Bionic, 4GB, 128GB, Cellular, Space Gray
The A12Z Bionic chip and 12.9-inch Liquid Retina display with 120Hz refresh rate provide fluid visuals and responsive touch for demanding apps. USB-C connectivity, Wi-Fi 6, and Apple Pencil support add flexible cross-device workflow options, though the 4GB RAM limits heavy multitasking.
