iPad Pro 13-inch M5 1TB with Wi-Fi plus Cellular 5G is available at Mascom International for KSh 250,000, brand new and sealed, with 16GB of RAM and a 13-inch Ultra Retina XDR Tandem OLED screen. Made by Apple, this configuration runs the 10-core version of the M5 chip, which only the 1TB and 2TB models receive. The body measures 5.1mm thin and weighs 582g, so the iPad Pro 13-inch M5 slips into a laptop sleeve without adding bulk. You can hold it and test it at our store on the first floor of Old Mutual Building, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.
Built for executives, lawyers, architects and content creators across Kenya, the iPad Pro 13-inch M5 1TB solves a common problem: a phone screen too small for contracts and drawings, and a laptop too heavy to carry between meetings in Upper Hill and Westlands. The 13-inch panel shows two documents side by side, and 1TB holds years of PDFs, site photos and client video. Its eSIM connects to Safaricom or Airtel Kenya 5G and 4G data, so you keep working in a matatu, a client lobby or a hotel in Kisumu without hunting for Wi-Fi.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops sell tablets with no clear after-sales path, Mascom International supplies the iPad Pro 13-inch M5 1TB sealed in its box with a 12-month warranty handled from our Nairobi CBD service desk. Customers across Nairobi tell us the iPad Pro 13-inch M5 at 1TB is the point where they stop deleting files to free space and stop carrying a separate hard drive. Walk into the store to compare it with the 2TB and 512GB units side by side, or order on WhatsApp and pay when it reaches your door anywhere in the 47 counties.
Common Questions About the iPad Pro 13-inch M5
How much is the iPad Pro 13-inch M5 1TB Wi-Fi plus Cellular in Kenya?
The iPad Pro 13-inch M5 1TB Wi-Fi plus Cellular 5G costs KSh 250,000, brand new and sealed, at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD. That price covers the tablet, Apple's 20W USB-C adapter and cable, the 12-month Mascom International warranty, and pay-on-arrival delivery across Kenya. The 2TB version sits KSh 30,000 higher at KSh 280,000. The 512GB version is KSh 50,000 lower at KSh 200,000, but it drops to 12GB of RAM and a 9-core chip. Apple Pencil Pro and the Magic Keyboard are sold separately.
Should I buy the iPad Pro 13-inch M5 1TB or the 2TB version?
Pick the iPad Pro 13-inch M5 1TB unless you record and keep large ProRes video projects on the tablet itself. Both carry the same 10-core M5, 16GB of RAM, screen, cameras and 5G modem, so speed and display are identical. Storage is the only difference, and the 2TB costs KSh 30,000 more at Mascom International. At about 170MB a minute, 1TB holds roughly 98 hours of 4K 30fps video in raw capacity. Filmmakers filling cards every week gain from 2TB; most office users never fill 1TB.
Does the iPad Pro 13-inch M5 1TB work on Safaricom 5G in Kenya?
Yes, the iPad Pro 13-inch M5 1TB connects to Safaricom 5G where coverage exists, because its 5G radio supports band n78, the 3.5GHz band Safaricom uses. The Wi-Fi plus Cellular model takes an eSIM only, with no physical SIM tray, so request an eSIM at a Safaricom or Airtel Kenya shop and scan the QR code they issue. Outside 5G areas it falls back to 4G LTE on bands 3, 8 and 20. Data bundles work the same way they do on a phone line.
Who should buy the iPad Pro 13-inch M5 1TB, and who should skip it?
Buy the iPad Pro 13-inch M5 1TB if you edit photos or 4K video, draw with Apple Pencil Pro, or keep large client archives on one device and want 16GB of RAM. Skip it if your work is email, Zoom calls, KRA returns and Word documents, because the 1TB storage and extra chip core will sit unused. For that buyer the iPad Air 11-inch M4 128GB Wi-Fi at KSh 107,000 handles the same daily jobs for less than half the price. For the big screen at lower cost, take the 512GB.
Can the iPad Pro 13-inch M5 1TB replace a laptop for office work?
For many office users the iPad Pro 13-inch M5 1TB can replace a laptop once you add a keyboard. iPadOS 26 runs apps in resizable windows with a menu bar, so Word, Excel, Outlook and a browser stay open together, and 16GB of RAM keeps them from reloading. The USB-C port supports Thunderbolt and drives an external monitor through DisplayPort. Accountants who depend on desktop-only software, or developers who need a full terminal, should keep a Mac or Windows laptop alongside it.
What does the 10-core M5 chip in the iPad Pro 13-inch M5 1TB mean in daily use?
The iPad Pro 13-inch M5 1TB gets four performance cores and six efficiency cores, one performance core more than the 256GB and 512GB versions. Performance cores take on heavy jobs such as exporting video, rendering 3D models or recalculating large spreadsheets. Efficiency cores keep email and browsing cool and easy on the battery. Paired with 16GB of RAM and a 10-core graphics unit, the extra core shortens export times on long projects. For reading and calls you will not notice the difference.
How fast does the iPad Pro 13-inch M5 1TB charge?
The iPad Pro 13-inch M5 1TB reaches about 50% in roughly 30 minutes with a 40W or higher USB-C adapter, according to Apple. The 20W adapter in the box charges it more slowly, so a faster charger helps if you top up between meetings. The 10,290mAh battery is rated for 1,000 full charge cycles, which works out to almost three years of daily full charges. During KPLC power cuts, a USB-C power bank rated at 30W or more keeps it running.
Does the iPad Pro 13-inch M5 1TB work with Apple Pencil Pro and the Magic Keyboard?
Yes, the iPad Pro 13-inch M5 1TB works with Apple Pencil Pro, Apple Pencil (USB-C) and the current Magic Keyboard for this model. The Pencil attaches magnetically to the long edge to pair and charge, and supports squeeze and barrel-roll gestures for drawing and markup. The second-generation Apple Pencil and the older Magic Keyboard do not fit this model, so check before reusing accessories from an earlier iPad. Ask Mascom International about current stock of these accessories.
Technical Specifications
Display and Screen Technology
- 13-inch Ultra Retina XDR Tandem OLED — two OLED layers stacked together give bright, even colour with true blacks.
- 2752 by 2064 resolution at about 265 pixels per inch — contract text and drawings stay sharp at reading distance.
- 120Hz refresh rate — the screen redraws up to 120 times a second, so scrolling and Pencil strokes feel smooth.
- 1000 nits typical and 1600 nits peak HDR brightness — readable beside a bright window and faithful to Dolby Vision footage.
- Antireflective, oleophobic glass rated Mohs level 4 — cuts glare and fingerprints, though a screen protector still guards against sand scratches.
Processor and Graphics
- Apple M5 chip with a 10-core CPU — four performance cores for heavy exports and six efficiency cores for light tasks.
- 10-core Apple GPU — the graphics unit renders games, 3D models and video effects without a separate graphics card.
- Ships with iPadOS 26 and already updates to iPadOS 26.6 — windowed multitasking and a menu bar for desk-style work.
- ProRes video support — Apple's editing format keeps more detail for colour grading than ordinary compressed phone video files.
- Face ID with gyro, compass, barometer and accelerometer — unlocks at a glance and gives map and AR apps accurate orientation.
Memory and Storage
- 16GB of RAM — keeps a browser, Lightroom, Teams and a large spreadsheet open together without reloading each one.
- 1TB of internal storage — room for about 330,000 photos at 3MB each, before apps and the system are counted.
- About 98 hours of 4K 30fps video at roughly 170MB a minute — a full season of client shoots on the tablet.
- No memory card slot — extra space comes from USB-C drives or iCloud, so choose the storage you need at purchase.
- The 1TB tier unlocks the 10-core CPU and 16GB RAM — the 512GB and 256GB versions settle for 9 cores and 12GB.
Camera Hardware
- 12MP wide rear camera at f/1.8 with dual-pixel autofocus — sharp document scans and site photos in normal light.
- LiDAR depth scanner — measures rooms and objects in 3D, useful for estate agents, surveyors and interior designers.
- 4K video at 24, 25, 30 and 60fps, plus ProRes recording — footage clean enough to edit straight on the tablet.
- 12MP Landscape front camera with a 122-degree ultrawide view — keeps you centred on calls with the keyboard attached.
- Front camera records 1080p at up to 60fps with HDR — clear, well-exposed Teams and Zoom video in dim offices.
Battery and Charging
- 10,290mAh lithium-polymer battery — a large cell packed into a 5.1mm body for long stretches away from a socket.
- About 50% in roughly 30 minutes with a 40W adapter — Apple's figure; the boxed 20W adapter charges more slowly.
- Rated for 1,000 full charge cycles — close to three years of daily charging before the battery reaches its rated count.
- USB-C charging — the same cable type charges your phone, laptop and power bank, so one charger covers your bag.
- Charges from USB-C power banks — a 30W or larger bank keeps the tablet working through outages and long road trips.
Connectivity and Network Support
- 5G including band n78 plus 4G LTE bands 3, 8 and 20 — matches the networks Safaricom and Airtel Kenya run.
- eSIM only on the Wi-Fi plus Cellular model — there is no SIM tray, and your network loads the line digitally.
- Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6.0 — faster speeds on modern routers and stable links to keyboards, earbuds and mice.
- USB4 port with Thunderbolt and DisplayPort output — moves large files to external SSDs quickly and drives an external monitor.
- GPS, GLONASS and Galileo positioning on cellular models — turn-by-turn navigation works without a phone hotspot.
Package Contents
The iPad Pro 13-inch M5 1TB arrives factory sealed in Apple's retail box. Inside you get the tablet, a 20W USB-C power adapter and a USB-C charge cable, plus Apple's printed documentation. Apple Pencil Pro, the Magic Keyboard and a protective case are sold separately. A faster 40W USB-C charger is worth adding if you top up between meetings, because the boxed adapter refills a battery this size slowly. Compatible chargers are sold separately at Mascom International.
Warranty
The iPad Pro 13-inch M5 1TB ships with a 12-month warranty through Mascom International, covering manufacturing defects under normal use. Cover extends to faults in the screen, battery, ports, cameras and internal components that arise from manufacturing. Claims are handled at our Nairobi CBD service desk in Old Mutual Building.
