★★★★☆
An almost perfect tablet
Sounds: 4.5/5 - loud and sounds good with minimum rattle. Not premium speakers though.
Screen: 3.5/5 - the blacks look great, the contrast is extremely wide, everything looks great, but there is a ton of backlight bleed for someone who notices that thing. Areas with a thick black section will have light bleeding over from the nearby lit areas. Picturs uploaded at different brightness intervals. It may not bother some people, I found that I can see it drawing or watching movies with the black background down to about 20%, but I have a keen eye for displays. Display is very bright so high brightness isn't always required anyway, may be an issue for some digital artists who use black backgrounds. It was a bit more noticeable than I was hoping.
Drawing quality with pencil 5/5 - keep in mind light bleed may be an issue for you with blacks backgrounds but other than that I like using this in Photoshop.
M1 chip is amazing, but this needs more testing.
Slightly thicker, but not noticably heavier.
I feel like the new magic keyboard tilts back further, I could be wrong but get that one if you scoop up this iPad.
