Ever since my first iPad 5 years ago I've wanted one with a bigger screen, and the new iPad Pro delivers! With the 128GB storage I can carry around my entire sheet music library, and the screen is crystal clear. The battery life has improved over the earlier iPads, so it will definitely last through a gig without needing to be plugged in. And the cellular capability makes it easy to download new music PDFs whenever I want, even if I'm not in range of wi-fi. This is my ideal tablet and I recommend it to musicians who are tired of lugging around piles of music books. With the Apple Pencil it's easy to markup scores in the ForScore app (that's the music reading app I use) so it's just like using a pencil on paper. I can't say enough great things about this -- the processing speed has improved so that even though I have over 6000 music PDF files, when I open ForScore it snaps right to my current piece and is ready for action. Even on my iPad4 it took quite a few seconds to be ready, but with this iPad Pro there's no wait at all.
