Display & Design
The 13-inch Ultra Retina XDR display uses tandem OLED technology to deliver 1000 nits of full-screen brightness and 1600 nits peak for HDR. It's simply the best screen we've ever seen on a mobile device. Colors pop, blacks are infinite, and motion is fluid.
Despite the massive screen, the CreatorPad Pro is impossibly thin at just 5.1mm. It feels futuristic, though we'd recommend a case to prevent any anxiety about bending it.
Performance
The M3 chip is complete overkill for a tablet, but that's exactly what you want for longevity. 4K video editing, 3D rendering, and complex music production happen instantly. Combined with 16GB of RAM, apps stay open in the background indefinitely.
Pencil Pro Integration
For artists, the new Pencil Pro features—barrel roll, squeeze to palette, and hepatic feedback—make digital creation feel more tactile and intuitive than ever. It's the gold standard for stylus input.
Software
PadOS 18 introduces better window management and a more customizable home screen, but file management can still be frustrating compared to a traditional laptop.
