Members of The MacJury spent the first weekend with the new 9.7-inch iPad Pro, and got together to discuss their impressions and how it stacks up against its larger brother, and against the previous iPad Air 2. Configurations, Apple Pen support and why it isn’t just for artists, the new speaker system, consumption device vs. productivity device, cases and more are judged by the panel of Michael E. Cohen, Jean MacDonald, Jim Tanous and host Chuck Joiner.
