It looks like snagging a 128-GB version of the iPad Pro won't be easy and quick. The premium version of the monstrous tablet won't arrive to the homes of customers in the United States who ordered it until the end of the November at the earliest.

Those who ordered their Wi-Fi only version of the giant tablet will get their hands on it within Nov. 30 to Dec. 2 for those who opted for the free shipping. Shelling out $10 for the expedited option will get the iPad Pro to customers by Nov. 25 to Nov. 30.

According to GSM Arena, the only explanation for this is that Apple either did not or chose not to anticipate the demand for the more spacious version of the iPad Pro. Orders for the 32-GB variant are ready to ship within five days, the publication pointed out.

As for the accessories that come with the slab like the Apple Pencil and the Smart Keyboard, it will take more than a month before they are shipped.

Meanwhile, a lot of people already got to see the power of the iPad Pro. As per Tech Radar, the device dominated a recent benchmark test, where it nearly doubled the score collected by the iPad Air 2. It also did not have any trouble trouncing the 2015 MacBook Air.

It was also very close to overtaking the latest iteration of the 13-inch MacBook Pro as well as the Microsoft Surface Pro 4. On the graphics side, it easily beat out the 15-inch MacBook Pro's Iris Pro 5200 and Surface Pro 4's Intel HD 520 with its A9X chip.

If anything, the iPad Pro is as good as a PC, making it a far better option, thanks to its portability.
