    As an architect and PhD student who loves to do digital drawing as a hobby, I just bought the 11 inch one for note taking, article reading, mobile drawing device, as well as light typing.
    Reason:
    1. Ipad is not my main device. I do 3d modelling, simulation, etc on my laptop. I can't do those on ipad.
    2. Psychology. If the sizes determine my decision to take it out in public or not, then the more portable it is, the better. I heard some people do not take their 12.9 out from the bag since it is rather big for light use.
    3. I use it to read article while laying down. The size is perfect for me to read and highlight important parts.
    4. For drawing, it is even larger than my usual book I used to carry. I own a cintiq pro for drawing and it works great on the table. So I needed something more mobile.
    For above reasons, I am really happy with my decision.

    You are absolutely right about price and was going for the 12.9 but after the video am going for the 11. I have a main gaming PC and need something portable. You talked about weight which made me think about taking pictures, video, and short animations using AI plus AR. I liked adding the external devices like monitors, keyboard, and mouse when needed. You nailed it and yes, this was a tough decision due to the differences screens on both.

    Thanks Chris. Your story makes me lean toward the 11 inch iPad Pro. I do type a lot, but I have very slim hands, so have no problems with a smaller keyboard. A point is also the use, I see the 12.6 tilting from your lap.. for me that is a major point of inconvenience, as one of the uses is the fact that the ipad will be on my lap very often. I don’t fly, so there’s no point. The only thing that would make me going for the 12.6 is using a video handling program, that is where I am often occupied with.
    But thanks for posing the right questions, it really helps the decision

    • @chris.mueller
      @chris.mueller  Před 2 měsíci +1

    I had the 12.9 M1 iPad Pro and I would always use it with the Magic Keyboard and never really use it without it as a regular iPad for media consumption cause of how big it is. Most of the time I would use my MacBook Pro. I decided to sell my 12.9 iPad Pro and got the 11” M2 iPad Pro to use more like an iPad and as a consumption device and I think it’s just the perfect size for that.

      Ohh, that's tough for me to answer. I haven't used Windows in a while, so I don't know how well Windows 11 works, but in general, I would consider two things there:
      - Do you have another computer? If not, having only the iPad might limit you in some tasks, and therefore, I would advise you to go with the 2in1
      - Which OS do you prefer? If you are used to Windows and like it, I would stick with that, but if you like Apple Software, go for the iPad.
      In general, I prefer Apple devices because I prefer macOS, iPadOS and iOS more than their Windows/Android counterparts. Also, I don't think other companies put in the same effort to perfect the hardware design of their products as Apple does. But in the end, it comes down to which one is better suited for your needs.
      Hope this helps, let me know if you have further questions!

    thank for the review.. i'm going for 11" ipad pro because of practicality and portability very handy especially when you travelled a lot.. i used my 12.9" ipad of my sister is to big and heavy esp when you put the magic keyboard it's not comfortable to bring anywhere and very eye catching to people i feel like someone will robbing on me and yes 12.9" has XDR display but still not an Oled, if i'm looking for xdr display i buy samsung tab s8 with oled display and more affordable... the 12.9" ipad pro is not ideal for normal ipad.

      In general, I think the 12.9 inch would fit your needs better, you could also go for an M1 model, which would still be plenty fast for a long while. There were also some rumors for a bigger iPad Air coming in the first half of next year, so maybe that would be worth waiting for?

    I am thinking of upgrading to the 12.9 inch I have a 2020 11 inch however I teach post secondary philosophy and I like to comment on papers with the iPad but the 11 inch is a touch small for this. The draw back is I keep my lecture notes on my iPad as it is handy my concern is the 12.9 inch would be too big for this. I have a laptop I am not looking to replace I just think that it might come in handy for for marking papers. In theory I could get a 12.9 and not sell my other one but two iPad pros seems wasteful . What are your thoughts?

    • @chris.mueller
      @chris.mueller  Před rokem

      I am with you, having two iPads might seem like a good idea, but it feels stupid… Do you have an opportunity to get the 12.9 at Apple with a return window? If so, I would do that, see how much you like it, depending on your experience either return the 12.9 or sell the 11 😃

      Hey Greg how’d you go, did you end up upgrading? I’m about to start uni (deciding between philosophy and physics) curious to hear how you found the different size for uni stuff :)
      P.S. great video Chris, super thorough and detailed. Love it. I’m leaning toward 12.9 as I love to write too. I’ve been watching heaps of vids about Notion and I want to get the iPad mostly to handle my notes (got over 1k different notes and wanting to better structure them from what they are now - just folders - to a whole dedicated platform, I’ll probably pay the extra to get the integrated AI add on even tho it’s a super expensive add on at like 8$ a month of whatever I love the integration. Looks SUPER impressive from what I’ve seen researching but I’m yet to use it yet.
      Anyway back to the point… How do you find the 12.9 in bed for CZcams? Do you find the extra weight bothers you much when using it in portrait on the couch or in bed with the Apple Pencil?
      Thanks :)

      @bootyclapofficial6986 I like the 12.9 better. It is a little heavier, but I adjusted quickly. Trade off, but I think it is worth it.
      In terms of studying philosophy, any philosopher after 1300 AD is pretty much bunk, so if you are ancient or medieval philosophy, but if you are focusing on modern philosophy, which most programs do, I would recommend physics. Not to say that there is no good philosophy going on these days, but the interesting stuff is all commentary/expansion on the ancients and the medievals. Enlightenment philosophers are vastly overrated.

I did get the 12.9, but now I can’t figure out what that “deal breaking” difference was. I just got it yesterday and it’s a nice step up from the iPad Air, but aside from ProMotion, I can’t remember why I wanted to upgrade. This is really disturbing me that I can’t remember. It doesn’t matter now that I own it, but thinking I could have saved money and gotten basically the same performance is upsetting.

There are some specific apps that can really take advantage of the 16GB, but it is a lot more expensive and most of the time, you won’t notice a difference.

I’m an Art Director and UI designer, I work with motion, video, print, digital graphic, some 3D. A lot of preproduction work. Multiple tabs, but can adjust my workflow. I’d like to drag pictures with my finger prom Behance to my app directly, use my iPad as a second monito when working with resolve on my PC… I’m not an illustrator not advanced in 3D, but would try to animate in procreate and modeling on iPad, it seems easier. Usually I do vectors. Going to prepare key visuals though, and maybe some elements as a ground for my motion work on a PC. During backstages I could use iPad for quick recording and postproduction on the go, so then 1TB makes more sense (or for larger formats in Procreate), but I could buy 14 MBP 16gb then as well. I’d not need another MacBook (yet!), the point is iPad 1TB is for that productive part, it’s is hard to estimate. Quick notes to search across my meetings and reading books/noting/learning English on iPad is on my mind as well, here no doubts it would work great! I really don’t know what is fluent and natural on an iPad. I’d editing movies would work, ok, then I’d try doing it. If not, then not :) Maybe these all tabs wouldn’t be as great on iPad either?
