I wanted to buy one for... well, everything: university, note taking, learning and watching netflix at home, playing etc. And I couldnt decide between them either. But my first impression - which is very important - was that the 12.9" is just too big. Im a big guy, but still, it wasnt comfortable to hold. So I ordered the 11" model. But I had second thoughts. I went back to the store, and after some time I realized I can get to used to the bigger one too. Especially when I used it in split screen mode - it was beautiful. FYI Ive never had an apple device before, I worked hard to have some cash, and wanted the best... I read all the reddit pages, watched every youtube video about this, even asked Samuel too, and I realized that most of youtubers recommend the 12.9 inch for note taking and productivity. But I thought I'd wait, try out the 11 inch in a daily basis and if i dont like it, i can send it back. Now, after a week of using the smaller one, I could say, the 11" is the perfect size for me. I can taking notes easily, reading, watching netflix, and the split screen is good too. I bought a logitech folio touch keyboard case, cuz I wanted to protect my one and only luxury device at any cost, and the portability is still amazing with it (its a bit heavy but not as much as the 12.9 would be with a similar case). So im happy with my decision, I didnt regret it at all, and u know, I think you should listen to your first impression. EDIT My experience after using it a month: the uni went full online so i use my windows laptop (which is a must!!!) to log in teams and join to online classes, so I have full screensize to take notes (and our teachers upload the ppt before the classes and sometimes even the whole lecture with voice and everything, or let us to record it) and do stuff. Its amazing, guys
Yeah for a lot of people are not going to be walking around when they are taking notes so the 12.9 inch model is going to be the best bet, if you are moving around such as taking notes for like on the job or the such then it would be a good idea then maybe.
I’m sure if you hold it deep down the 2018 12.9 inch IPad Pro will drop to a price quite close to the new 2020 11 inch IPad Air 4. Wait and see your options :).
I have the 12.9, and one thing I’ve liked about it is that it’s the size of a standard piece of notebook paper. This makes the transition from writing on paper to the iPad a bit easier.
I have both sizes. Got the 12.9 first, and felt that it was too heavy for lugging it around. Got the 11 for classes and never looked back. 12.9 doesn’t leave the house, 11 travels.
as an architect I came to the same conclusion after as owning the 11”. It’s that I very rarely use my iPad on the go. Most of the time I am using at the desk and realized that it’s better to get the 12.9”.
I returned the 11’ for the 12.9’ iPad. I didn’t feel like the 11’ was a big upgrade from the 10.5’ iPad that I had. People keep mentioning the 12.9’ is heavy. Come on, it’s not that much heavier than the 11’. I have an iMac, no laptop, so the 12.9’ works as a laptop as well. I love having extra screen space to write on. P/s: your notes are so aesthetic.
After getting the 11” iPad Pro, I am not wishing I had more screen space, but I also don’t have anything to compare it to physically. I like it, so go with you.
I bought the 12.9, and I regret it. It's too big for most things. Especially note taking and reading. I recommend 11 inch for most people. If you need a screen that is 13 inches, you probably also need a laptop.
It's the same size as a piece of paper though? If you think the iPad pro 12.9 is too big then wouldn't you also think it's hard to write on a standard sized piece of paper? I just recently bought the 12.9 and have not received it yet but I did get the case delivered and its really not as uncomfortably big as people make it out to be (Im a 5'4 girl btw with small hands). Im planning on using it for digital art however
It's quite heavy. If you want to use it for reading or media consumption, it is extremely tiring to handle. If I hold it for more than an hour, my wrists begin to hurt. It's really only practical to use if it's support on some surface like a table or desk. Therefore, I wouldn't really consider it to be very mobile. If you want to use it for note taking in meetings or class rooms, it's very heavy to carry around. It's almost the same weight as a laptop.
Agree. 12.9 is too big and heavy for reading books and holding it in one hand for more than 5 minutes is very uncomfortable experience. The 11 inch is perfect size and weight for everything.
I regret my 12.9" too. I got one because I wanted to draw and edit photos wherever I wanted but it's so freaking big that it's not even comfortable to use on the lap while on the couch.
I have actually drawn and cut the Ipad pro 11 size on a paper Its really portable but its true that it is too small for notetaking At least for me So I would get the 12.9 inch version But thats not the question The question is - How do I get one?
Desmond Ling I 100% agree. I just upgraded 2 days ago form the 9.7 to the 11 inch pro. I think I might even want the space from the 12.9” because the keyboard folio is bigger (meaning larger keyboard). The 9.7 was just way too small...
I personally went for the 11” model instead of the 12.9” model because I’m a college student and portability is my main concern. I already have a 15.6” Lenovo Yoga laptop at home so I don’t need a macbook-like iPad to carry around. I’m only 4’10” so carrying around a 12.9” tablet would feel too big for me. I have the Logitech Folio Touch case on it and I honestly like the size of the 11”. I’m happy with it!
11.9 would be the sweet spot for multitasking and portability. But if you use the iPad as a whiteboard for taking notes and drawing screen size does not matter as your digital canvas can be as large as you like and you can pan and zoom extremely fast while working on details.
As a student who has begun using ipad a year ago, I would definitely say how important screen size is to notetaking. The reason why I upgrade from ipad air to ipad pro 11inch was because of the screen size and the button (which irritates me because my palm clicked on it when Im doing notes vertically). Although you may think 0.5inch do not make any difference, I definitely feel much difference. Ill definitely go for 12.9 if I could but... since Im on budget 11 inch will be a better optiom for me. Just sharing some thoughts here :D
I’m an happy owner of the 11 inch and I agree with everything you said! The 11 works for me because I’m someone who literally opens my iPad everywhere, like carrying it around and watching a video on it while walking (yes, i know thats not good but lol), and carrying around the 12.9 is simply too heavy. However, as a student, I definitely feel the frustration of the smaller space in split screen, but that’s something I’m willing to sacrifice as I’m not as detailed with my notes. HOWEVER, I would recommend anyone who’s getting the 11 inch to get the cellular version. Since it is so portable, sometimes I leave my phone at home and only bring my iPad!
I’m using an 11’ but my dad has the 12.9’. He loves it for gaming and all sorts of things. But it is kindda big for me as i have small hands. Therefore, the 11’ is just perfect. As for notetaking, i dont find any difficulty even when using split screen.
Try to use tour da's for a week with multitasking. The other screen is note taking. The other is any website or app etc. Then dragging to notes from web etc
What? Giving options is a cruel marketing strategy? It's the cruelest you've ever seen? You have a company that essentially owns all of the diamonds in the world, and has convinced numerous people that they need to spend thousands of dollars on what is otherwise a functionless rock or their marriage wont be successful. And this is cruel? I guess car companies should also be offering a car that can fit into a compact parking space, fit 6 people comfortably, and be able to tow a boat, otherwise, that would be "such a cruel strategy" amirite?
@@JAFrk i think they mean that you cant choose both features in one In another words, you cant have a large screen with extreme portability And please, stop offending
@@kiaxoy Those are called trade-offs and they exist everywhere when it comes to any kind of product with variations allowing people to better customize their experience. The original poster called it a " cruel marketing strategy," when really it's just engineering limitations. The OP is essentially accusing Apple of deliberately deciding to not to create a product that is impossible to engineer in order to make buyers have to choose between two screen sizes? It's called being entitled. If that's what they desire then they should buy from Samsung and Oppo who are trying to address the portability vs screen size issues with folding and rolling phones, both that introduce issues Apple is mostly not willing to deal with.
I read a review which said: Get an 11 inch if you want a tablet which can sometimes be used as a computer, or the 12.9 inch if you want a computer which can sometimes be used as a tablet
You're the reason why I placed an order for the iPad Pro 12.9 inch + apple pen. You honestly need to be sponsored by apple or at least be given credit for what you're doing. You've inspired me to take my note-taking to the next level and I'm genuinely excited to start this fall semester. Thank you so much!
You are going to be a huge TH-camr. Your timing, pacing and clarity when you speak is simply next level. Couple that with fantastic editing and there is no way you won't become huge. Looking forward to more videos and being a part of that journey.
Bro, what about a twitch channel where you made notes when studying and chat with us? Anyway: your channel made me buy an iPad Pro 11'' + cellular + apple pencil 2nd generation (for work and university). Your channel become my favorite channel in just 5 days. You're awesome! Thanks!
I have a 12.9 iPad pro 2020. I did have the 11 inch pro 2018 and loved it. The cost was a major factor for me at the time, so went for the smaller screen. The portability was fantastic but split screen was limiting. My teenage daughter now uses it. She uses it mainly for Procreate, and it is perfect for this. I found that I couldn't comfortably handwrite my notes and have the text book open at the same time (I'm studying maths). It was great for lectures, as I have to travel by car and train to get there, and it took up zero space. My son has the 7th gen and it uses the same apps, same iOS etc and when we discuss iPads in Uni, I do mention that a pro isn't needed. I just love the functionality of the 2nd gen pencil which was my deciding factor on going for pro.
@@ishitaarora281 I got around that by screenshotting the question and pasting it into my workbook (I use goodnotes). I like having the question with my answer, so that if I'm looking back at my work, I don't have to find the correct page in my textbook. It's one of the reasons I went paperless, having everything in my workbook. I also screenshot the answer, so I can directly compare my answer with how the textbook answered it. A few times I've got the correct answer with a different method, so screenshotting the answer has meant I didn't need to copy the answer to have both methods in my workbook.
This is the thing that I've been fretting about for the last few months..everyone has their different opinions but my problem is...I don't want to compromise..Apple! when is the 12 inch coming out?
I’ve had both...my choice is the 12.9 because I spend more time watching videos, playing games and doing day to day tasks I used to do on my pc. The 11 I think would be great for students doing a lot of note taking and artists...the 11 is a bit more mobile, lighter and easier to scribble on.
I remember when the iPad Mini came out and I thought that was the sweet spot. I thought that the 9.7" was now unnecessarily large. Fast forward to 2020 and I was so concerned that the 11" was now too small! I bought the 11" and have not regretted it once.
@@ThegroopieofUSA I regularly use OneNote on one side and a book/safari/TH-cam on the other. Would it fit more on 12.9? Absolutely, but I wouldn’t want a tablet that big.
I have the 12.9 pro as a laptop replacement/tv and i have an ipad mini 5 as my mobile device. The mini is the most portable of them all and is more powerful than you would think. Even fits into my smaller handbags. Having the largest and smallest ipad has been the PERFECT set-up for me!
This is a good point. I’m thinking about replacing my old MBP with a Mac Mini and a killer monitor and this would be the replacement. But I also want a quick run and gun for a purse sized solution. UGH!!!
I’ve had 2 11 inch iPads, and have used my friends iPad Air, and let me tell you NOTHING compares to a 12.9 inch iPad Pro with that beautiful display. Couldn’t imagine going back to an 11 inch iPad
I ordered an 11’ last night, and honestly after this video i still feel good about it. I’ve been taking notes on a device that’s half the size of a sheet of paper so I don’t think it’ll be too limiting to me. Great video though :)
so I have the same 11’ as a student, but my friend has a 12’, and let me tell you it is so much easier to get mine EVRRYWHERE. Sure a screen that’s bigger sounds nice, but you will never have issues with the screen size honestly.
I am patiently waiting for my 11” to ship and had a moment of “oh, no...maybe I should have gone with the larger screen.” Your comments reminded me I’m currently using my iPad 9.7” to take notes without much of a hassle, so the 11” will be an improvement without compromising portability. Thanks!
Just got mine in the mail today. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxhcEDB3r-OJ3_X5hQzr7k1ZofTQy1ao_U The corners of the box was a little smashed but I think that’s more of the shipping’s fault. iPad was in perfect condition though. I ordered the yellow one thinking it was going to be a bright vibrant color. Instead I looks like more of a Gold color. I personally prefer the gold look. Definitely not disappointed but just a heads up to the ones expecting a brighter cream of yellow.
After 1 month of waiting and researching, especially I loved Samuel’s videos, because it was inspiring regardless how iPad Pro is for students and I knew it would make me more productive and happy in my daily routine. Moreover, I am going to become a student once again and it will be so much helpful with iPad Pro. Finally, I received my 12,9 inch iPad Pro 2020 and I am more than happy about it, as it’s perfect size for me I even thought it is supposed to be bigger because everyone saying it’s huge but it’s light in real and it feels just amazing while working on it. Thank you for your videos, Samuel.
on my personal take, i will take the 11 inch if i had a laptop to compliment for a large screen. 11 inch is not small for note taking and even drawing. the price of portability just cant be ignored. it's the very reason why photographers have shifted now to mirrorless cameras instead of staying to DSLRs. for everything like video editing and other heavy stuffs, the laptop will do the compliment the 11 inch lacks. but if you dont have a laptop, the 12 inch is a sure winner to hold and do your work.
The white board comment is so true that is why I have the 12.9 iPad Pro from last year and both 11 inch iPad pros 2018 and the M1 version but the 12.9 inch is my favorite one to this day
I had the 12.9".... and decided to give it to my mom. I have a 15" MacBook Pro and the 12.9" is just not nimble enough for me - I enjoy reading magazines and ebooks and the 12.9 is heavy. I want to take my iPad everywhere but I get TIRED carrying the 12.9 around. especially traveling. I'm going to get the 11" iPad Pro and I'm super excited! I do however, steal the 12.9" back just to use it for piano playing.
I chose the 11" rather than choosing 12.9 because of the comfortabiity that I get. Besides i dont need 12.9 ipad coz I already have a 13" macbook m1. And yeah I love the 11" ... Im not regretting at all.
Ugh this is so hard. Everyone tells me different things. I can afford a large pro, and it seems better for note taking and as a second screen for my laptop, but the size and portability are really annoying, especially if it's something I'll want to pull out at Starbucks or use for interviewing people (journalism).
i'd say if the only thing you wanna do is make notes then 11 inch is perfectly fine and cheaper. if you wanna make study notes, using colour, pictures, do side by side windows then the 12.9 inch is basically a lot better. i have the 11 inch for schoo
Great review indeed, appreciated. Totally agree, it depends very much on one's personal workflows. Like yourself I'm a visual person and needs diagrams all the time (I work with software), also I'm into note taking (that's my way of learning), and additionally my hobby is drawing and painting, so my use case points me into the 12,9. Other use cases will point other users towards the 11 inch, and that too is a perfectly valid option.
I used to have 12.9” then I downgraded to 11” just because I wanna be able to take both ipad&macbook at the same time everywhere with me. I seriously regretted nothing. I have MacBook pro I mostly use for essays writing, video editing or anything that’s not creativity related. I mainly use my ipad as a book and folder really. I agreed that 11” is so portable I don’t miss 12.9” one bit. I do use sidecar function a lot too but that’s really not my main concern. I seriously think that whichever one you go for it’s very less likely that you’d notice the difference. It’s very easy to get used to with it. P.S welcome back! Been missing your aesthetically pleasing video a lot!
originally I wanted the 12.9 because I love large screens, but I use too many softwares on my computer that I can not use an iPad as a laptop replacement. Because of this, I was thinking maybe I should just go for the 11'" to save some money, and since if I need to be doing any desk type of work I will probably have my laptop with me too. It sounds like this is the situation with you and you also mentioned using sidecar, do you think the size is good for using sidecar, or does it feel too small? Do you still feel the same? I am excited to buy one!
@@AdamariMedia hi there, I’m so sorry it took me quite sometimes to get back but I still love my 11” even for sidecar uses. Just as an example, I opened google doc - moved to my iPad (as sidecar) then used my laptop to do research and whatnot. For me I don’t notice much of a differences. Also, if you use it for awhile and can’t seem to like the size of it, you can always return it and get the one that suits you! I am also excited for you to be getting your new iPad 🥰 I hope this helps!
@@natashaxxiii Thank you! Also, may I ask did you get the128 storage or more? or for how long have you had your iPad, and how much storage have you used up so far?
I feel like in most cases, if you want to use the iPad as an actual tablet, the 11 is the way to go. I feel that the 11 is a tablet anyone can enjoy. Now if you need to use it as a laptop-replacing workstation the 12.9 is the best option. It’s still lighter than a regular laptop and folks who are on the more serious end of video editing, drawing, design, etc. would probably enjoy it more to sit down for hours and do their work.
As always a great video. In my opinion size doesn’t matter, to me the extra inch of the 12.9 just makes it bulkier and less portable while also having to make you use it with two hands. I’ve used both sizes but I really just prefer the 11 inch, does this mean that the 12.9 is bad? Not at all, but the experience is a little different. In my opinion size does not matter, either choice has it’s pros and cons, but I myself don’t think that there is enough of a difference to ‘miss out on the true iPad experience.’ This video did make me reconsider my 11 inch iPad Pro, but to be honest, the cons I lose or gain aren’t enough to make me switch. But Great video, thanks Samuel.
“So basically I’ve been using this every single day for the past 2 years” *shows an iPad that came out 5 months ago* This man came straight from the future
really? he use ipad pro 2018 version, you can tell the different by looking at the camera bump, only single camera, not dual camera with LIDAR, like the latest ipad pro 2020 but i really believe he uses 12.9” ipad pro 2018 before for 2 years and has upgrade/trade to 2020 version later, but he doesnt have that 2018 version anymore with him, so he just show us the one he currently own...
I bought my iPad Pro back in 2016 whilst in university when it and the first Apple Pencil came out and I loved it. But if I were to buy an iPad now for note taking, I would go for a bigger screen simple because the split screen allows a much better note taking experience. I wish I had split screens when I was in uni... though none of our lecturers would put slides online at the time anyway...
I recommend the iPad 12.9, if your budget isn't very tight. The iPad 12.9 is huge, great for taking notes but isn't that big to hold in the hand. I have medium size hands, and I can comfortably hold and use the iPad without any issues. It's about the size of an A4 sheet of paper, which emulates taking notes on a piece of paper perfectly.
Watched tons of videos on this topic! Finally you gave the exact I wanted to know before buying my iPad. I was stucked in which is the perfect size for writing notes and digital painting works. Thank you so much ! Love from India 🇮🇳
i had to switch from 11" to 12.9" because of that one reason. I just felt it was too small for what I did for most of the day - notetaking, multitasking, writing alot, typing as well.. I even draw in free time.. but when i got 12.9 i kinda missed that portability factor but definitely worth it! p.s. i just hate that mine kinda bent over time :(
Akshit Singh not sure honestly.. it's such a slight bend but i'm worried it will get worse over time and it would lower the experience and efficiency.. i'm babying my ipad and was so dissapointed when I noticed it
Dude your videos are seriously so motivating whenever i feelid just watch one of your videos and get back to studying your videos have just different level of quality thanks man !!!
If you also use/own a PC/laptop, I think one interesting video from you could be on how you separate your iPad Pro and computer usage. Which tasks do you only use one or the other for, which tasks do you use both for and why? If you could own only one of them, which would it be and why? Etc. Etc.
I got the 11inch because of a youtube, I regarded it, guys, if you're 5'6 or bigger def get the 12.9inch. 12.9 is a more familiar size (probably because is the same size of notebook) and better to use.
The best video of explaining the differencies. Even after those 3 years. Thanks a lot. I'm using 11" these days and because of lot of writing while sitting and using it for presentations (while laying on the lectern) and watching movies in bed, I'm thinking about swiitching to 12,9". But those moments you are describing, I still think that 11" is still the best solution for myself. I like the idea of a bigger (and software) keyboard on the bigger one, but the downsize is the size itself.
I’ve been watching quite a few reviews and I thought this was excellent!! Thanks for breaking it down and your insights into the pros and cons of each size 👍🏻👍🏻
I have the Ipad Pro 11inch ,and i love it!!! I would recommend the Ipad pro 12.9inch to someone who doesn't have a laptop/computer...at the end its all about portability! I personally prefer something that is bigger than my phone but smaller than my MacBook...If i want the superb experience i would use my MacBook pro 16inch...
I brought the 11 then the 12.9 later. Both devices I used for note taking, typing, watching videos,etc and I found myself loving the 12.9 more since when I take notes or even typing using the spilt screen was great the 11 was good too but the words were small and found myself zooming in and out. So I hope this can help
Nice video. Well done. It's useful to get your take on why you prefer the 12.9" iPad Pro for actual work. Others have offered that feedback as well and I think it's an important consideration. I'm actually now planning to buy the iPad Pro 12.9" for work, and the new iPad mini 6 for a portable device that I can access all the same content I access on the 12.9" device but have the portability that I want for when I'm on the go.
Split view is no big deal for note taking. You can adjust the split side with the split slider. I'd rather use two screens (my Tv or computer screen for the video, my iPad for the notes) for taking notes on lecture videos.
When I watched your video 8 months ago. I bought the 11 inch ipad pro. Then after using it for those months for school and note taking, highlighting, and split screen. I can say that Ipad pro 11 is pretty much limiting.
I'm glad that you mentioned that iPad is just a tool and you don't necessarily need it to be able to study. By the way, if I ever buy an iPad, it will be because of you Samuel! :P :D Love from India.
Me, 24 years old asking myself: why do i watch a comparison video, when i already bought the 12.9? But Sami uploaded a video - so i just listen to him. Thank you for your hard work on this video! Always love your content :)
Yes, you can have the best of both worlds. For the price of a 12.9, you can get a 11" iPad Pro and a 4K 15" portable monitor. Only carry around the portable monitor when needing to be productive.
Ooh, I can become an even better procrastinator?? SOLD! lol I have the 10.2", and I'm a teacher. I honestly can't say I've wished I had a bigger screen more than a couple of times. The portability is so nice! And I can still hold it out of the case and read on it and do other iPad-ish things with it. That said, DAMN that 12.9" thing is beautiful... ;)
@@천사-siren it’s working well no issues at all. The only thing is I don’t use it as much anymore. I have an iPhone and a Macbook, both of which serve most of the same purpose that the iPad does so I don’t use it much anymore. Do I regret it? No I don’t, I do regret buying the Magic Keyboard because I barely ever use that. If you are someone who takes a lot of notes or you use procreate, its a great investment. For me personally, it has now just become something I use to read ebooks or on long haul flights to watch movies.
I look at it a little differently. As someone that has owned both. If you like to work and use your iPad in Portrait 11” is the way to go. If you use it more in Landscape 12.9 is for you. The extra screen real estate the 12.9 offers in landscape is actually a big deal when multi-tasking productivity apps or just at a desk. Working on your lap or mobile as stated in this video, use it in portrait and the 11” is amazing. Don’t worry about keyboards. You’re never going to use it outside of the house. The pencil is all you need and with iOS 14 “scribble” is better than carrying a keyboard. At home any external keyboard is fine, you’re at your desk get a nice stand for your iPad and off you go. Get a Raspberry Pi 4. It’s small you can remote into it, you can SSH into it, you can even power it up from the USB-C port, all from your iPad Pro and now you have a full desktop class machine that is pocketable.

I wanted to buy one for... well, everything: university, note taking, learning and watching netflix at home, playing etc. And I couldnt decide between them either.
But my first impression - which is very important - was that the 12.9" is just too big. Im a big guy, but still, it wasnt comfortable to hold. So I ordered the 11" model.
But I had second thoughts. I went back to the store, and after some time I realized I can get to used to the bigger one too. Especially when I used it in split screen mode - it was beautiful.
FYI Ive never had an apple device before, I worked hard to have some cash, and wanted the best...
I read all the reddit pages, watched every youtube video about this, even asked Samuel too, and I realized that most of youtubers recommend the 12.9 inch for note taking and productivity.
But I thought I'd wait, try out the 11 inch in a daily basis and if i dont like it, i can send it back.
Now, after a week of using the smaller one, I could say, the 11" is the perfect size for me. I can taking notes easily, reading, watching netflix, and the split screen is good too.
I bought a logitech folio touch keyboard case, cuz I wanted to protect my one and only luxury device at any cost, and the portability is still amazing with it (its a bit heavy but not as much as the 12.9 would be with a similar case).
So im happy with my decision, I didnt regret it at all, and u know, I think you should listen to your first impression.
EDIT
My experience after using it a month: the uni went full online so i use my windows laptop (which is a must!!!) to log in teams and join to online classes, so I have full screensize to take notes (and our teachers upload the ppt before the classes and sometimes even the whole lecture with voice and everything, or let us to record it) and do stuff. Its amazing, guys

Yeah for a lot of people are not going to be walking around when they are taking notes so the 12.9 inch model is going to be the best bet, if you are moving around such as taking notes for like on the job or the such then it would be a good idea then maybe.

I’m sure if you hold it deep down the 2018 12.9 inch IPad Pro will drop to a price quite close to the new 2020 11 inch IPad Air 4. Wait and see your options :).
I pad air 3 is super cool also
I have the 12.9, and one thing I’ve liked about it is that it’s the size of a standard piece of notebook paper. This makes the transition from writing on paper to the iPad a bit easier.
Are you a astronaut 👨🚀
12.9 is NOT the size of notebook paper. The iPad Pro 11” or the iPad Air is about the size of notebook paper
@@garydomaz1849 they probably mean the actual canvas size...which is the size of an A4 piece of paper..
I have both sizes. Got the 12.9 first, and felt that it was too heavy for lugging it around. Got the 11 for classes and never looked back. 12.9 doesn’t leave the house, 11 travels.
Get strong. I'm joking 🤣🤣, I had the same problem too but idc about it cause I've started getting stronger so I got used to the weight lol
Why do you have 2 ipads in the first place? 🤔
What about for bed use?
@@xshadowscreamx use it like a FAT phone, simple. Rest it on your lap, it's not hard
Latrixon I rest my 2012 iPad at chest level when laying down.
as an architect I came to the same conclusion after as owning the 11”. It’s that I very rarely use my iPad on the go. Most of the time I am using at the desk and realized that it’s better to get the 12.9”.
I returned the 11’ for the 12.9’ iPad. I didn’t feel like the 11’ was a big upgrade from the 10.5’ iPad that I had. People keep mentioning the 12.9’ is heavy. Come on, it’s not that much heavier than the 11’. I have an iMac, no laptop, so the 12.9’ works as a laptop as well. I love having extra screen space to write on.
P/s: your notes are so aesthetic.
This helped me alot
Ur mom
After getting the 11” iPad Pro, I am not wishing I had more screen space, but I also don’t have anything to compare it to physically. I like it, so go with you.
So split screen works just fine?
@@ThegroopieofUSA yeah! I never feel like i need more space or anything, but if you want the extra space, get the larger one. Split screen works fine
I bought the 12.9, and I regret it. It's too big for most things. Especially note taking and reading. I recommend 11 inch for most people. If you need a screen that is 13 inches, you probably also need a laptop.
It's the same size as a piece of paper though? If you think the iPad pro 12.9 is too big then wouldn't you also think it's hard to write on a standard sized piece of paper? I just recently bought the 12.9 and have not received it yet but I did get the case delivered and its really not as uncomfortably big as people make it out to be (Im a 5'4 girl btw with small hands). Im planning on using it for digital art however
It's quite heavy. If you want to use it for reading or media consumption, it is extremely tiring to handle. If I hold it for more than an hour, my wrists begin to hurt. It's really only practical to use if it's support on some surface like a table or desk. Therefore, I wouldn't really consider it to be very mobile. If you want to use it for note taking in meetings or class rooms, it's very heavy to carry around. It's almost the same weight as a laptop.
You are correct, that dude probably one of these new 15 inch laptops that support pens. LG got one I think.
Agree. 12.9 is too big and heavy for reading books and holding it in one hand for more than 5 minutes is very uncomfortable experience. The 11 inch is perfect size and weight for everything.
I regret my 12.9" too. I got one because I wanted to draw and edit photos wherever I wanted but it's so freaking big that it's not even comfortable to use on the lap while on the couch.
I have actually drawn and cut the Ipad pro 11 size on a paper
Its really portable but its true that it is too small for notetaking
At least for me
So I would get the 12.9 inch version
But thats not the question
The question is - How do I get one?
Go on the Apple website and select the iPad Pro and then select the 12.9 inch version
Bruh, I use a 9.7 inch budget iPad for not taking, and trust me that's way to small for not taking. Really not enough space
For example 11 inch is not small for me for taking notes so i go with it
Desmond Ling I 100% agree. I just upgraded 2 days ago form the 9.7 to the 11 inch pro. I think I might even want the space from the 12.9” because the keyboard folio is bigger (meaning larger keyboard). The 9.7 was just way too small...
step 1: ask your parent's credit card
or: get a job
Apple never gonna make 12 inch iPad, becoz that might be a right thing to do, and the right thing is not good for their business
They actually did! Crazy. Never thought they would
I personally went for the 11” model instead of the 12.9” model because I’m a college student and portability is my main concern. I already have a 15.6” Lenovo Yoga laptop at home so I don’t need a macbook-like iPad to carry around. I’m only 4’10” so carrying around a 12.9” tablet would feel too big for me. I have the Logitech Folio Touch case on it and I honestly like the size of the 11”. I’m happy with it!
11.9 would be the sweet spot for multitasking and portability. But if you use the iPad as a whiteboard for taking notes and drawing screen size does not matter as your digital canvas can be as large as you like and you can pan and zoom extremely fast while working on details.
Yes, that’s why 11 inch is better
As a student who has begun using ipad a year ago, I would definitely say how important screen size is to notetaking. The reason why I upgrade from ipad air to ipad pro 11inch was because of the screen size and the button (which irritates me because my palm clicked on it when Im doing notes vertically). Although you may think 0.5inch do not make any difference, I definitely feel much difference. Ill definitely go for 12.9 if I could but... since Im on budget 11 inch will be a better optiom for me. Just sharing some thoughts here :D
Thank you for the help!
Can we just say that Goodnotes uses Samuel's Eukaryotic cells notes for their appstore Photos for the apps... 👁️👄👁️
My heart: Ipad pro 12.9 inch
My wallet: Ipad 3
That was actually funny
I’m an happy owner of the 11 inch and I agree with everything you said! The 11 works for me because I’m someone who literally opens my iPad everywhere, like carrying it around and watching a video on it while walking (yes, i know thats not good but lol), and carrying around the 12.9 is simply too heavy. However, as a student, I definitely feel the frustration of the smaller space in split screen, but that’s something I’m willing to sacrifice as I’m not as detailed with my notes. HOWEVER, I would recommend anyone who’s getting the 11 inch to get the cellular version. Since it is so portable, sometimes I leave my phone at home and only bring my iPad!
Xin Lu Fan I am not frustratedI have an iPad 2018 (9.7”).
I’ve used a 9.7 inch iPad for years. I have no questions about updating to an 11 inch iPad Pro. Mine is coming in at the end of September
Cooper Craven congratulations man!! Did you go for the engraving option??
@@ForeverSHINee97 no, I figured that if I wanted to sell it in the future engraving it could lower the value 😊
I’m using an 11’ but my dad has the 12.9’. He loves it for gaming and all sorts of things. But it is kindda big for me as i have small hands. Therefore, the 11’ is just perfect. As for notetaking, i dont find any difficulty even when using split screen.
Try to use tour da's for a week with multitasking. The other screen is note taking. The other is any website or app etc. Then dragging to notes from web etc
This guy's video editing skill is to the next level
Apple knew what they were doing 😭. I haven’t seen a marketing strategy as cruel as this 😣
What? Giving options is a cruel marketing strategy? It's the cruelest you've ever seen? You have a company that essentially owns all of the diamonds in the world, and has convinced numerous people that they need to spend thousands of dollars on what is otherwise a functionless rock or their marriage wont be successful.
And this is cruel?
I guess car companies should also be offering a car that can fit into a compact parking space, fit 6 people comfortably, and be able to tow a boat, otherwise, that would be "such a cruel strategy" amirite?
@@JAFrk i think they mean that you cant choose both features in one
In another words, you cant have a large screen with extreme portability
And please, stop offending
@@kiaxoy Those are called trade-offs and they exist everywhere when it comes to any kind of product with variations allowing people to better customize their experience.
The original poster called it a " cruel marketing strategy," when really it's just engineering limitations. The OP is essentially accusing Apple of deliberately deciding to not to create a product that is impossible to engineer in order to make buyers have to choose between two screen sizes? It's called being entitled. If that's what they desire then they should buy from Samsung and Oppo who are trying to address the portability vs screen size issues with folding and rolling phones, both that introduce issues Apple is mostly not willing to deal with.
@@JAFrk my guy, it’s not that serious
@@JAFrk you’re right. The thing is, No matter what Apple does, people criticise.
THE LEGEND HIMSELF IS BACK
Yeah ikr
I read a review which said: Get an 11 inch if you want a tablet which can sometimes be used as a computer, or the 12.9 inch if you want a computer which can sometimes be used as a tablet
I see the uploads are coming more consistently now. Can't wait for the next one!
You're the reason why I placed an order for the iPad Pro 12.9 inch + apple pen. You honestly need to be sponsored by apple or at least be given credit for what you're doing. You've inspired me to take my note-taking to the next level and I'm genuinely excited to start this fall semester. Thank you so much!
Hi did u get it are you happy with the size
Bro, your take on the screen size doubly assured me to go for the 12.9 inch iPad pro. Thanks a lot!
"DOES SIZE MATTER?"
Certainly all the men want to know the answer....
Exactly what I thought
I love how size is in caps in the video title
And my gf said 2in is nothing 😤
It’s not the size of the wave, but the motion of the ocean lol
Lmao I came down to see if anyone had the same thoughts hahahaha xD
You are going to be a huge TH-camr. Your timing, pacing and clarity when you speak is simply next level. Couple that with fantastic editing and there is no way you won't become huge. Looking forward to more videos and being a part of that journey.
Bro, what about a twitch channel where you made notes when studying and chat with us?
Anyway: your channel made me buy an iPad Pro 11'' + cellular + apple pencil 2nd generation (for work and university). Your channel become my favorite channel in just 5 days. You're awesome!
Thanks!
He wouldn’t be studying if he’d do that...
I have a 12.9 iPad pro 2020.
I did have the 11 inch pro 2018 and loved it. The cost was a major factor for me at the time, so went for the smaller screen. The portability was fantastic but split screen was limiting. My teenage daughter now uses it. She uses it mainly for Procreate, and it is perfect for this. I found that I couldn't comfortably handwrite my notes and have the text book open at the same time (I'm studying maths). It was great for lectures, as I have to travel by car and train to get there, and it took up zero space.
My son has the 7th gen and it uses the same apps, same iOS etc and when we discuss iPads in Uni, I do mention that a pro isn't needed. I just love the functionality of the 2nd gen pencil which was my deciding factor on going for pro.
I'm also a math student. I'd like to be able to see the whole question at one glance even in split screen so I'm thing 11 inch won't be enough..
@@ishitaarora281 I got around that by screenshotting the question and pasting it into my workbook (I use goodnotes).
I like having the question with my answer, so that if I'm looking back at my work, I don't have to find the correct page in my textbook. It's one of the reasons I went paperless, having everything in my workbook.
I also screenshot the answer, so I can directly compare my answer with how the textbook answered it. A few times I've got the correct answer with a different method, so screenshotting the answer has meant I didn't need to copy the answer to have both methods in my workbook.
This is the thing that I've been fretting about for the last few months..everyone has their different opinions but my problem is...I don't want to compromise..Apple! when is the 12 inch coming out?
Why Apple doesn't introduce 12"
I’ve had both...my choice is the 12.9 because I spend more time watching videos, playing games and doing day to day tasks I used to do on my pc. The 11 I think would be great for students doing a lot of note taking and artists...the 11 is a bit more mobile, lighter and easier to scribble on.
I remember when the iPad Mini came out and I thought that was the sweet spot. I thought that the 9.7" was now unnecessarily large. Fast forward to 2020 and I was so concerned that the 11" was now too small!
I bought the 11" and have not regretted it once.
No issue with split screen?
@@ThegroopieofUSA I regularly use OneNote on one side and a book/safari/TH-cam on the other. Would it fit more on 12.9? Absolutely, but I wouldn’t want a tablet that big.
@@AdeMolajo okay so would u call the experience good enough? Or would still feel it lacks in some way?
@@ThegroopieofUSA I use it everyday with the pencil. I don’t want a bigger iPad. Better than good enough!
@@AdeMolajo okayy thank u
I have the 12.9 pro as a laptop replacement/tv and i have an ipad mini 5 as my mobile device. The mini is the most portable of them all and is more powerful than you would think. Even fits into my smaller handbags. Having the largest and smallest ipad has been the PERFECT set-up for me!
This is a good point. I’m thinking about replacing my old MBP with a Mac Mini and a killer monitor and this would be the replacement. But I also want a quick run and gun for a purse sized solution. UGH!!!
Watching after 1 min of uploading ..... You've earned priority mate!
I’ve had 2 11 inch iPads, and have used my friends iPad Air, and let me tell you NOTHING compares to a 12.9 inch iPad Pro with that beautiful display. Couldn’t imagine going back to an 11 inch iPad
I ordered an 11’ last night, and honestly after this video i still feel good about it. I’ve been taking notes on a device that’s half the size of a sheet of paper so I don’t think it’ll be too limiting to me.
Great video though :)
so I have the same 11’ as a student, but my friend has a 12’, and let me tell you it is so much easier to get mine EVRRYWHERE. Sure a screen that’s bigger sounds nice, but you will never have issues with the screen size honestly.
I am patiently waiting for my 11” to ship and had a moment of “oh, no...maybe I should have gone with the larger screen.” Your comments reminded me I’m currently using my iPad 9.7” to take notes without much of a hassle, so the 11” will be an improvement without compromising portability. Thanks!
Brad Hughes it's the perfect size, fits great next to sheets of paperor notebooks for school!
@@hughesbradc When is your iPad expected to arrive? Mine arrives sometime between Sep 10-17
@Price sometime between Sep 22-29.
Just got mine in the mail today. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxhcEDB3r-OJ3_X5hQzr7k1ZofTQy1ao_U The corners of the box was a little smashed but I think that’s more of the shipping’s fault. iPad was in perfect condition though. I ordered the yellow one thinking it was going to be a bright vibrant color. Instead I looks like more of a Gold color. I personally prefer the gold look. Definitely not disappointed but just a heads up to the ones expecting a brighter cream of yellow.
After 1 month of waiting and researching, especially I loved Samuel’s videos, because it was inspiring regardless how iPad Pro is for students and I knew it would make me more productive and happy in my daily routine. Moreover, I am going to become a student once again and it will be so much helpful with iPad Pro. Finally, I received my 12,9 inch iPad Pro 2020 and I am more than happy about it, as it’s perfect size for me I even thought it is supposed to be bigger because everyone saying it’s huge but it’s light in real and it feels just amazing while working on it.
Thank you for your videos, Samuel.
Any major write ups or presentations I'd be using my laptop, 11inch is perfect for taking to lessons and revision notes.
Other people: it’s a little uncomfortable to take notes in a 11” iPad
Me : studies in a mini iPad 😂😂
I : DONT OWN A IPAD
That is what I’m watching the video on iPad mini 2
I did too, but when I switched to a 12.9 my notes automatically became more structured and somehow I studied better.
Omg my condolences. 💐

My heart: 12.9 inch iPad Pro
My wallet: black and white screen kindle
on my personal take, i will take the 11 inch if i had a laptop to compliment for a large screen. 11 inch is not small for note taking and even drawing. the price of portability just cant be ignored. it's the very reason why photographers have shifted now to mirrorless cameras instead of staying to DSLRs. for everything like video editing and other heavy stuffs, the laptop will do the compliment the 11 inch lacks.
but if you dont have a laptop, the 12 inch is a sure winner to hold and do your work.
The white board comment is so true that is why I have the 12.9 iPad Pro from last year and both 11 inch iPad pros 2018 and the M1 version but the 12.9 inch is my favorite one to this day
I love my iPad Pro 12.9 and honestly it feels so small now 😅
I had the 12.9".... and decided to give it to my mom.
I have a 15" MacBook Pro and the 12.9" is just not nimble enough for me - I enjoy reading magazines and ebooks and the 12.9 is heavy.
I want to take my iPad everywhere but I get TIRED carrying the 12.9 around. especially traveling.
I'm going to get the 11" iPad Pro and I'm super excited!
I do however, steal the 12.9" back just to use it for piano playing.
I feel like I should be paying money to see this video
I chose the 11" rather than choosing 12.9 because of the comfortabiity that I get. Besides i dont need 12.9 ipad coz I already have a 13" macbook m1. And yeah I love the 11" ... Im not regretting at all.
As I work in Split Screen mode, I fully agree!
Samuel: "Does Size Matter"
Me: YeS
Ugh this is so hard. Everyone tells me different things. I can afford a large pro, and it seems better for note taking and as a second screen for my laptop, but the size and portability are really annoying, especially if it's something I'll want to pull out at Starbucks or use for interviewing people (journalism).
i'd say if the only thing you wanna do is make notes then 11 inch is perfectly fine and cheaper. if you wanna make study notes, using colour, pictures, do side by side windows then the 12.9 inch is basically a lot better. i have the 11 inch for schoo
Great review indeed, appreciated. Totally agree, it depends very much on one's personal workflows. Like yourself I'm a visual person and needs diagrams all the time (I work with software), also I'm into note taking (that's my way of learning), and additionally my hobby is drawing and painting, so my use case points me into the 12,9. Other use cases will point other users towards the 11 inch, and that too is a perfectly valid option.
I am gonna start uni soon, you've given me more courage and excitement to face the new environment, you deserve more in this channel
finallly i find someone who made it easy for me to finally make a choice.
I now know which one I need
i need both!
I used to have 12.9” then I downgraded to 11” just because I wanna be able to take both ipad&macbook at the same time everywhere with me. I seriously regretted nothing. I have MacBook pro I mostly use for essays writing, video editing or anything that’s not creativity related. I mainly use my ipad as a book and folder really. I agreed that 11” is so portable I don’t miss 12.9” one bit. I do use sidecar function a lot too but that’s really not my main concern. I seriously think that whichever one you go for it’s very less likely that you’d notice the difference. It’s very easy to get used to with it.
P.S welcome back! Been missing your aesthetically pleasing video a lot!
originally I wanted the 12.9 because I love large screens, but I use too many softwares on my computer that I can not use an iPad as a laptop replacement. Because of this, I was thinking maybe I should just go for the 11'" to save some money, and since if I need to be doing any desk type of work I will probably have my laptop with me too. It sounds like this is the situation with you and you also mentioned using sidecar, do you think the size is good for using sidecar, or does it feel too small? Do you still feel the same? I am excited to buy one!
@@AdamariMedia hi there, I’m so sorry it took me quite sometimes to get back but I still love my 11” even for sidecar uses. Just as an example, I opened google doc - moved to my iPad (as sidecar) then used my laptop to do research and whatnot. For me I don’t notice much of a differences. Also, if you use it for awhile and can’t seem to like the size of it, you can always return it and get the one that suits you!
I am also excited for you to be getting your new iPad 🥰 I hope this helps!
@@natashaxxiii Thank you! Also, may I ask did you get the128 storage or more? or for how long have you had your iPad, and how much storage have you used up so far?
12.9 inch for me always. I love my iPad Pro. Tried the new 11 inch air 4 and gave it away and got my old 12.9 inch iPad Pro back. Size does matter.
I have an iPad air (student and budget) and it totally works for me🙌
I feel like in most cases, if you want to use the iPad as an actual tablet, the 11 is the way to go. I feel that the 11 is a tablet anyone can enjoy. Now if you need to use it as a laptop-replacing workstation the 12.9 is the best option. It’s still lighter than a regular laptop and folks who are on the more serious end of video editing, drawing, design, etc. would probably enjoy it more to sit down for hours and do their work.
As always a great video. In my opinion size doesn’t matter, to me the extra inch of the 12.9 just makes it bulkier and less portable while also having to make you use it with two hands. I’ve used both sizes but I really just prefer the 11 inch, does this mean that the 12.9 is bad? Not at all, but the experience is a little different. In my opinion size does not matter, either choice has it’s pros and cons, but I myself don’t think that there is enough of a difference to ‘miss out on the true iPad experience.’ This video did make me reconsider my 11 inch iPad Pro, but to be honest, the cons I lose or gain aren’t enough to make me switch. But Great video, thanks Samuel.
really like how Samuel's videos are. from the way he talks to the visuals he shows on screen. Somehow It's very realistic
“So basically I’ve been using this every single day for the past 2 years”

I bought my iPad Pro back in 2016 whilst in university when it and the first Apple Pencil came out and I loved it. But if I were to buy an iPad now for note taking, I would go for a bigger screen simple because the split screen allows a much better note taking experience. I wish I had split screens when I was in uni... though none of our lecturers would put slides online at the time anyway...
“That’s what she said!” -Michael Scott
I recommend the iPad 12.9, if your budget isn't very tight. The iPad 12.9 is huge, great for taking notes but isn't that big to hold in the hand. I have medium size hands, and I can comfortably hold and use the iPad without any issues. It's about the size of an A4 sheet of paper, which emulates taking notes on a piece of paper perfectly.
Watched tons of videos on this topic! Finally you gave the exact I wanted to know before buying my iPad. I was stucked in which is the perfect size for writing notes and digital painting works. Thank you so much ! Love from India 🇮🇳
How was your experience with whichever one you got? Asking you cause finding an Indian's persepective is the closest to my own experience...
I have literally watched his note-taking video over 100 times it gives me goosebumps
same
i had to switch from 11" to 12.9" because of that one reason. I just felt it was too small for what I did for most of the day - notetaking, multitasking, writing alot, typing as well.. I even draw in free time.. but when i got 12.9 i kinda missed that portability factor but definitely worth it!
p.s. i just hate that mine kinda bent over time :(
Akshit Singh not sure honestly.. it's such a slight bend but i'm worried it will get worse over time and it would lower the experience and efficiency.. i'm babying my ipad and was so dissapointed when I noticed it
I’m only here to read the comments
Dude your videos are seriously so motivating whenever i feelid just watch one of your videos and get back to studying your videos have just different level of quality thanks man !!!
If you also use/own a PC/laptop, I think one interesting video from you could be on how you separate your iPad Pro and computer usage. Which tasks do you only use one or the other for, which tasks do you use both for and why? If you could own only one of them, which would it be and why? Etc. Etc.
It’s not the size of the boat ⛵️ it’s the flow of the ocean ;)
I loved it, when you said the iPad is merely a tool, it just amplifies who you are.... wow.
Others: Which IPad should I buy?
Me: watching this video in my ipad air 1.
I got the 11inch because of a youtube, I regarded it, guys, if you're 5'6 or bigger def get the 12.9inch. 12.9 is a more familiar size (probably because is the same size of notebook) and better to use.
The content this channel is making is off the charts! especially for students.
✅ Helpful learning advice
✅ Great tech reviewer
The best video of explaining the differencies. Even after those 3 years. Thanks a lot. I'm using 11" these days and because of lot of writing while sitting and using it for presentations (while laying on the lectern) and watching movies in bed, I'm thinking about swiitching to 12,9". But those moments you are describing, I still think that 11" is still the best solution for myself. I like the idea of a bigger (and software) keyboard on the bigger one, but the downsize is the size itself.
I’ve been watching quite a few reviews and I thought this was excellent!! Thanks for breaking it down and your insights into the pros and cons of each size 👍🏻👍🏻
I have the Ipad Pro 11inch ,and i love it!!! I would recommend the Ipad pro 12.9inch to someone who doesn't have a laptop/computer...at the end its all about portability! I personally prefer something that is bigger than my phone but smaller than my MacBook...If i want the superb experience i would use my MacBook pro 16inch...
I've never clicked on a video so fast
I brought the 11 then the 12.9 later. Both devices I used for note taking, typing, watching videos,etc and I found myself loving the 12.9 more since when I take notes or even typing using the spilt screen was great the 11 was good too but the words were small and found myself zooming in and out. So I hope this can help
Nice video. Well done. It's useful to get your take on why you prefer the 12.9" iPad Pro for actual work. Others have offered that feedback as well and I think it's an important consideration. I'm actually now planning to buy the iPad Pro 12.9" for work, and the new iPad mini 6 for a portable device that I can access all the same content I access on the 12.9" device but have the portability that I want for when I'm on the go.
Quick Tip: If you are in an emergency and need to charge your phone, use the type-c port on the iPad. Not the fastest charge but great in a pinch.
Awesome 😎 👏🏼 but please note that 12.9 inch also has high risk of #bendgate 😒

Split view is no big deal for note taking. You can adjust the split side with the split slider. I'd rather use two screens (my Tv or computer screen for the video, my iPad for the notes) for taking notes on lecture videos.
this guys has 204k subs with 10 videos. That's gotta be some sort of record
When I watched your video 8 months ago. I bought the 11 inch ipad pro. Then after using it for those months for school and note taking, highlighting, and split screen. I can say that Ipad pro 11 is pretty much limiting.
I'm glad that you mentioned that iPad is just a tool and you don't necessarily need it to be able to study. By the way, if I ever buy an iPad, it will be because of you Samuel! :P :D
Love from India.
Me, 24 years old asking myself: why do i watch a comparison video, when i already bought the 12.9?
But Sami uploaded a video - so i just listen to him. Thank you for your hard work on this video! Always love your content :)
Thank you for encouraging me to buy the iPad and change my life. Keep it up man.
Yes, you can have the best of both worlds. For the price of a 12.9, you can get a 11" iPad Pro and a 4K 15" portable monitor. Only carry around the portable monitor when needing to be productive.
Sometimes i watch your videos just to hear your voice 🙂 i really like the way you talk man !
I am a big fan of large screen. I always buy the largest screen of iPhone and Ipad. I bought 12.9 inch and i didn’t regret at all.
Your channel is going to blow up. You're videos are just so amazing!
11 inch here for a true iPad experience but plugged to an external monitor for work. Best of both worlds 😎
You can't draw on an external display.
Ooh, I can become an even better procrastinator?? SOLD! lol I have the 10.2", and I'm a teacher. I honestly can't say I've wished I had a bigger screen more than a couple of times. The portability is so nice! And I can still hold it out of the case and read on it and do other iPad-ish things with it. That said, DAMN that 12.9" thing is beautiful... ;)
I bought my IPad 12.9 inch last month because of your videos! I wish I had found your videos a year back when I was in grad school.
How is it now? Did you regret buying it?
@@천사-siren it’s working well no issues at all. The only thing is I don’t use it as much anymore. I have an iPhone and a Macbook, both of which serve most of the same purpose that the iPad does so I don’t use it much anymore. Do I regret it? No I don’t, I do regret buying the Magic Keyboard because I barely ever use that. If you are someone who takes a lot of notes or you use procreate, its a great investment. For me personally, it has now just become something I use to read ebooks or on long haul flights to watch movies.
He’s back! 😍
Found his channel 1 week ago, watched all his vids and i love it
Another great video. I use the 12.9 for teaching, having traded up from the smaller one
What should be memory size - for teaching say for upto 5 to 7 years ?
Me: *reads the name of the video*
Also me: I’m not dirty minded I’m not dirty minded im not dirty minded I’m not dirty minded
I look at it a little differently. As someone that has owned both. If you like to work and use your iPad in Portrait 11” is the way to go. If you use it more in Landscape 12.9 is for you. The extra screen real estate the 12.9 offers in landscape is actually a big deal when multi-tasking productivity apps or just at a desk. Working on your lap or mobile as stated in this video, use it in portrait and the 11” is amazing. Don’t worry about keyboards. You’re never going to use it outside of the house. The pencil is all you need and with iOS 14 “scribble” is better than carrying a keyboard. At home any external keyboard is fine, you’re at your desk get a nice stand for your iPad and off you go. Get a Raspberry Pi 4. It’s small you can remote into it, you can SSH into it, you can even power it up from the USB-C port, all from your iPad Pro and now you have a full desktop class machine that is pocketable.
