Should you consider this one?
The M5 iPad Pro is overkill for browsing and video — the 13-inch model earns its price if you're editing photos or video, using Apple Pencil for serious creative work, or want a tablet fast enough not to feel dated for years. If you mainly want a tablet for reading, streaming, and light multitasking, a standard iPad or iPad Air covers that at a fraction of the cost.
