Cost is concerning but the 11” version has good trade-in value. For my use in productivity, I am getting a benefit with the larger screen. For me, it comes down to the user experience. That topic is a difficult and challenging one. What could be argued is whether or not it is worth the cost over the 11” (or even a MacBook Air). The difference is very noticeable! I do not believe there would be much of an argument over that point.

Now, compare the 11” to a 12.9” iPad Pro: 12.9″ iPad Pro (Landscape) 12.9″ iPad Pro (Portrait) Sliding the panel separators around can be challenging with touch.
If you want to do that, I recommend a mouse/trackpad be added to your config (note: it is rare that I recommend anything other than touch for an iPad). Note that the side panels can be moved for extra space. Here are a couple of screen grabs of RStudio Cloud on the 11” iPad Pro: 11″ iPad Pro (landscape) 11″ iPad Pro (Portrait) If you do not want to carry around a laptop, it is a good way to get some coding done. I will say do not get discouraged at this point. The Cloud-based environment has some quirks, and you may find yourself reaching for a mouse for fine tuning. Using an iPad for RStudio Cloud takes some getting used to. For now, I’ll show you what RStudio Cloud looks like on my iPads. I might write something about both in a future article. Google has Colab which I think is a great take on Jupyter. RStudio has its cloud-based service, and it is good (albeit expensive past the base version). What I have been using are cloud-based services for R and Python coding. Getting to that programming feature, it’s more about screen-estate again. I believe this device will last for a long while before needing an upgrade. Although, I do not think many games are pushing the M1 chip very far. Playing games, writing documents, video editing, and even some coding is made better due to the screen-estate. With that said, everything else is better with the larger device. I guess I better get into the weight room more. Surprisingly, that little bit of extra weight along with the additional height/width causes some discomfort over time. That can get annoying with long sessions. I must prop it up off to the side or use a pillow to get the screen justified to my liking. An example of this is sitting on the couch or in a nice, comfy chair. The 12.9” device is a bit too much to hold with one hand using the other for typing. This is due to it being easier to hold up and type. The 11” iPad Pro is actually better in this regard. There is a certain encumberment factor that can be noticeable when using the device away from a desk. My first reaction after the screen size excitement calmed down is with bulk. It may not be an all-in-one laptop, but there are plenty of times I only want to use the iPadOS interface.īefore going further, let me mention how it has been to live with the bigger device. Having a way to analyze data sets while relaxing in a recliner is a welcome plus. Having the flexible stand along with a durable case and keyboard completes a combination setup.
It works well enough (hoping for better external monitor support). Take another look at the setup with the 11” iPad Pro: I have been using my iPad to do some coding (sort of).
I would like to show you the difference in the bigger screen with an analysis tool. This is a follow-up to my previous post about the iPad Pro screen-estate.
