Admittedly, Apple is charging exuberant prices for the extra storage, cellular connectivity, and the accessories, but it is hardly surprising as Apple always goes for huge margins. That being said, the new iPad Pro is one of the most professional tablets on the market and with the addition of the keyboard, it could even compete with laptops thanks to the latest internal specifications.
