Frequently Asked Questions

How much does the 13-inch iPad Pro M5 cost in the Philippines?

The price starts at a hefty PHP 84,990 for the 11-inch model. The 13-inch model we reviewed, especially with higher storage like 2TB, can cost well over PHP 100,000, depending on the configuration.

Is the new Apple Pencil Pro and Magic Keyboard worth buying with it?

We test both accessories in the video. They definitely complete the ‘laptop replacement’ experience, but they come at a significant extra cost. Watch to see if we think they’re essential or just nice-to-haves.

Who is this iPad Pro really for?

It’s built for creative professionals, artists, video editors, and anyone who needs desktop-level power in a portable form. For casual browsing or streaming, it’s massive overkill (and over-budget).

Can it really replace a laptop?

With the M5 chip and the new accessories, it gets closer than ever. However, iPadOS still has some limitations for pro workflows compared to a full desktop OS. We break down its strengths and weaknesses as a laptop alternative in our review.
