display
13-inch, 600-nit IPS LCDThe 600 nits and anti-reflective coating keep text readable in bright rooms and outdoors, though not as bright as modern OLED tablets; the 4:3 ratio and 264 ppi suit document and media work more than gaming.
performance
M4 octa-core, 9-core GPUApple's M4 with 4 performance and 4 efficiency cores handles video editing, CAD work, and music production at professional speed, while the 9-core GPU manages demanding apps and some casual gaming smoothly.
battery
9705 mAh, about 10 to 12 hours screen-onA full day of heavy use (editing, browsing, video calls) is realistic; for lighter use, you may stretch to two days before charging.
camera
12MP main, 12MP ultrawide frontThe f/1.8 main sensor with dual pixel PDAF and the wide 122-degree front lens make them capable for documents, video calls, and casual content; 4K video at up to 60fps suits short clips and live streams.
connectivity
Wi-Fi 7, 5G, USB-C Gen2Wi-Fi 7 and 5G (cellular model) ensure fast downloads and uploads; USB-C 3.1 Gen2 with DisplayPort allows high-speed file transfer and external monitor connection.
durability
6.1mm aluminum, Mohs 4 glassThe 616-gram aluminum body is light and rigid; the oleophobic-coated scratch-resistant glass is fine for daily carry and desk work, but Mohs 4 will pick up small scratches over time without protection.
