According to noted Apple leakster Mark Gurman, the new iPad Pro will have internals that are “equivalent” to the M1 chip currently found in the new MacBook Air and MacBook Pro, which were released in November.
The M1 has been well-received by reviewers, topping previous chip benchmarks. Pairing a keyboard and mouse with the new iPad could create a machine as capable as a laptop.
