As I posted earlier regarding my “Spirit Quest” to use only the iPad exclusively for 30 days, I have just purchased the new 12.9 iPad Pro. I just switched from my 10.5” Pro to the 12.9” today. My first reaction, and not because it is shiny and new, is WOW! While obviously larger and heavier than the 10.5”, it is noticeably smaller and lighter than the original 12.9, which I had before switching to the 10.5”.
The combination of screen size and quality, relatively light weight, speed, new keyboard folio design, and the new pencil are in a word, “magical.” I know that is overused but it is the most accurate description I can think of. With the exception of a few frustrations with iOS limitations (e.g., the inability to nest Apple Notes folders or to manage contact groups, and others), I believe that I can easily accomplish 95-99% of my work on this iPad. I’ll let you know in my other post if this holds true over the next 25 days that remain of my “quest”.
As I noted in that earlier post, I do a lot of speaking, using my iPad exclusively for my notes. While the 12.9 iPad is larger than ideal for holding for any length of time while pacing on a stage, I believe it is perfectly doable with this new iPad.
