One thing that is constrained more than you'd think is the ability to multitask (as in having more than one app open at the same time). Both sizes have great screens.Īnother benefit of the 11' is the better battery life. The mini-led screen in the 12.9' honestly doesn't matter if you don't use it as an HDR-Video-playback slave machine 24/7. If it doesn't work for you personally, see if you can downgrade. You will find people who have absolutely no problem with holding the 12.9' in their hand while working. The latter would be something that I'd never use mobile.Įdit: However this is a very subjective thing. When measured diagonally as a rectangle, the iPad Pro 12.9inch screen is 12.9 inches, the iPad Pro 11inch screen is 11 inches, the iPad Air screen is 10.86 inches, the iPad screen is 10.86 inches, and the iPad mini screen is 8.3 inches. The 12.9' with case is terrible, though (just as terrible as a surface pro with keyboard attachment). Not the heaviest but certainly not the lightest. Sitting down anywhere with the 11' feels like it's more fun to me personally and I am still able to get everything done of what I could also do with the 12.9'.Ĭlick to expand.I actually am and it is not a super light one either: Sitting down in front of a stationary 12.9' feels like work to me personally. Probably depends on how you want to use it. While working on the composition in particular staffs though, I'd say there is barely any difference in how you actually work on either size. The 12.9' is naturally better for giving you a overview about more staffs. The 12.9' is nice if you use it as a stationary device but I would not want to use it while holding it with my hand.Īs for Staffpad particularly: You will zoom in and out a lot on either size.

Speaking from experience that this is not the first iPad in the household. The iPad still gets warm but I want to believe it is less than without it.I could be wrong.Īs for size: It is a very personal thing, right? Personally I'd always prefer the 11' iPad over the 12.9' due to it's portability and ease of handling. When working with Staffpad, consider turning battery saver mode on. I hardly ever multitask when taking notes so I never found this to be an issue but its worth pointing out since you are so split.I recently switched from mainly using a surface pro to an iPad for Staffpad. This may come into play with comparing notes with power points or website references. If you do plan to get the Magic Keyboard, I’d say the only knock for the 11’’ is that multitasking will be cramped in comparison to the the 12.9’’. The 12.9 is literally the same size as your average spiral notebook. 12.9' is no brainer for someone who is primarily using for notetaking. You can spend more for more storage or the ability to have cellular connectivity in addition to Wi-Fi, and if you kit either of these tablets out with all the trimmings, you’ll be paying 2,099 for the 11-inch iPad Pro. If portability is your main driver, id argue an Air or mini, or use a pro iPhone honestly, but thats different argument. The least price you can get for the 11-inch Apple tablet is 799, while the 12.9-inch version has a starting price of 1,099. The iPad Pro (2022) is the first to feature an M2 process, which Apple says offers 15 faster. The differences between the generations come down to the processor, camera, networking, and Apple Pencil. If you arent using the iPad a tablet or on the go, not much difference in portability in my opinion. Once again, the newest iPad Pro models come in Space Gray in silver and are available with 128GB, 256GB, 512GB, 1TB, or 2TB of storage.

Cutting a picture of the diagram and pasting into note is much easier than 11' which feels more cramped. Honestly, the 12.9 is just a superior and different experience but 11 is definitely not trash.

I feel like it is a different writing experience. 12.9 is better for notetaking especially when it comes to multitasking. The 12.9’’ will probably be closer in size to a piece of paper but I feel like when I take notes on tablets, I’m only really writing on the center of the tablet and moving the digital notes to the same writing area on the screen. Honestly I have been battling in my brain for weeks and can’t come to a decision between the 11inch vs. I have an apple pencil and I never felt the need for a larger screen when taking notes on GoodNotes. 11 is great for single app use or mobile use, but for desktop. Portability - this is the only category 11 beats 12.9. Apps and reading - again larger screen makes for a superior experience on the 12.9. Video - the larger videos on the 12.9 make for a far superior video watching experience. Received the 12.9 today and it’s so much better for multitasking with the larger screen - you can see so much more on both apps that you’re using. Sound - 12.9 is louder and seems to have a fuller sound. I value portability so when I travel it is very easy to move around and watch shows / movies in airports. BouPro and started using it way more than I expected so I decided to order the 12.9. For me I own the 11 inch and its perfect for my needs. Depends on your preference and what you prioritize.
