Buying advice

Which should you buy?

These two are nearly even on the Mars Score (59.4 vs 57.8). The decision isn't about overall quality — both clear the bar — it's about which specific trade-offs fit your use.

Pick the iPad Pro 13 M4 if the display is what you stare at all day — refresh rate, brightness, or sharpness is where the difference will be most visible. The biggest gaps in its favor are peak brightness, storage, weight, among others.

The Tab P12 (Gen 2) similarly doesn't carry a headline advantage on the popular specs — look at the full table for category-specific deltas.

Both ship with comparable ram, refresh rate, stylus support, so those specs don't separate the two — focus on the differences below.

Bottom line: there is no wrong answer here — match the spec advantages to how you actually use the product. The Mars Score parity tells you both are well-rounded; the differences are about trade-offs, not quality.
