iPad Pro is set to hit online store Sam’s Club on Nov. 13, which is direct competition with the brand new Surface Pro 4 and the upcoming Google Pixel C.
Popular warehouse chain Sam's Club has started accepting pre-orders for Apple's iPad Pro on its website and has started advertising the iPad Pro in emails sent out to members. The tablet will begin shipping on Nov. 13, Techno Buffalo reported.
The iPad Pro has a 12.9 inch (32.7 cm) screen with a resolution of 2732 x 2048 pixels. It is described as the most powerful ever produced by Apple with its new A9X chipset that can compete with many laptop computers. It will be offered in three metal finishes (Space Gray, Silver).
It will feature a stylus as an add-on option, which is a first for Apple. The iPad Pro Multi-Touch screen's tactile sub-system has been specifically designed to operate with this Apple Pencil, which is aimed to be as precise as possible for all artistic and 3D design purposes.
It is compatible with all apps, including an office suite such as Office. The new "Smart Keyboard" is connected directly to the tablet, without Bluetooth, and its design is very slim and resilient. Other features include an adaptive four-speaker stereo system, 8MP iSight camera, FaceTime HD camera, 802.11ac Wi-Fi and Touch ID, according to Apple Insider.
Sam’s Club has several options available, including 32GB and 128GB models in gold, silver and space gray. Customers need to pay $789 for the 32GB model and $937 for the iPad Pro with 128GB of storage. Both models have no LTE feature, which means customer need to wait to get that option through Apple or one of its carrier partners at a later date. There is also no information if the iPad Pro will also be available in stores starting on Nov. 13.
