AI score breakdown
scored as tabletsThe M5 chip's sustained, throttle-free performance and tandem OLED ProMotion display put it at the top of the tablet category by a wide margin. Its biggest weakness is value: iPadOS still limits what that horsepower can be used for, and at $999+ it's priced well above what most buyers need for typical tablet workloads.
