DELETEDWell, as I mentioned in a post above, 1.5 pounds vs 1 pound. A Mini is .6. I don't know if you can hold an iPad 11 for 10 minutes, but you could longer than a 12.9.

Tbh if I did get another iPad I’d probably go for another 11 as it’s just so easy to hold with one hand unlike the 12.9 which is amazing but I just put it on my lap and often think why didn’t I just buy a MacBook instead ?
Can’t imagine how on earth you’d hold anything bigger with just one hand ?
You know what I realized though. My MBP 14" is like using the 12.9 in landscape. And it can do more (apart from being touch-enabled obviously). I'm tempted by the 12.9, but it just seems like such a waste for what I'd use it for.My wife has had a 12.9" since day 1. I've always made fun of her little TV and have been in the 11" club for a very long time. I decided to try out a 12.9" a few months ago and have been loving it. I use it predominantly on the couch watching youtube or when my wife and I travel, we use it to watch shows.
The only place the ipad wins is on the couch. I practically dont touch my MBA anymoreYou know what I realized though. My MBP 14" is like using the 12.9 in landscape.

I had the 11 and 12.9 and found the 11 in tablet mode was easier to hold with one hand and type with the other, I used the 12.9 basically sitting on my lap...but the 12.9 display was a bit easier on the eyes due to bigger size... sometimes the 12.9 makes me feel like I should just grab my laptop instead. I found that i cannot replace a laptop with a tablet for my use but supplement flipping around the internet or reading ebooks with one
Not just doctors, you’re forgetting visual artists — the 12.9 provides substantially more room for drawing. Likewise for musicians, I create music tracks using GarageBand (and am learning Logic Pro for iPad) and it’s MUCH easier to play the onscreen piano keyboard on the larger 12.9” screen. It’s also the perfect size for sheet music (in portrait orientation), several band and orchestral musicians now have 12.9 iPad Pros on their music stands.I think it really comes down to how often you’ll have it docked; what you’ll be using it primarily for, and if your work flow / task suits either size. As for pure tablet in hand mode, again I think 12.9 is too large unless you’re objective is note taking or looking up images as a doctor etc.
Due to the high cost of the 12.9 paired with the Magic Keyboard (if you plan on buying one) it can be a hard sell against the 13/15” MBA. You have to be someone who really enjoys the large touchscreen mixed with the keyboard, because it weighs more as well with the MKB than a MBA.
Biggest buying factor between the sizes should be: are you buying the Magic Keyboard and how much time will it be spent docked.

That’s the great thing about iPad’s versatility, it can be used in so many ways by so many different professions.
I just can’t see many home users loving the tablet holding experience.
Depends on what you mean by a general user. If you care about inky blacks and HDR, yes, it’ll make a difference.does a lcd or mini led makes a difference for a general user?
The 12.9 mini LED does offer crisper whites and contrast to my eyes, which is great for text.task like internet surfing, watching 1080p video and light ms office work?
was wondering can we really tell from the naked eye btw a lcd or mini led?
