Apple has introduced a new iPad Pro model with the M5 processor, blurring the lines between MacBook and iPad.
The new iPad Pro features an all-new multitasking feature, allowing users to work with apps like traditional windows on a computer, with the ability to move, resize, and minimize them.
The M5 processor provides performance that exceeds current MacBook computers, making it suitable for AI crunching and graphics-intensive tasks such as video production and gaming.

However, for aviation EFB apps, the entry-level $349 iPad has sufficient processor, memory, and battery life to handle demanding tasks effortlessly.
