I was ready to buy the iPad 12’9 just for the bigger screen.
but, then I decided to go with the iPad 10 generation that I bought in December 2023. It wasn’t the BIG screen that I wanted but, after days of using it I loved it more and more each day. Then the ipad Air 13 Inch was announced and I had NO intensions whatsoever to buy it. Yeah, the screen was bigger than the 12’9 so when I tried it for literally for a few seconds at the Apple Store I wanted it now I thought the screen was huge.

then yesterday Friday morning when I woke up I didn’t plan on buying it I still didn’t knew if I actually wanted or not. But, the voice inside of me kept telling me “go buy it right now” I went I bought it with trade in with the iPad 10 gen and paid the rest with my credit card.

i am now sitting here writing this with the Magic Keyboard and trackpad that i pair to it. And I LOVE TO USE IT WITH THE KEYBOARD AND TRACKPAD, it DOES feel a little bit TO ME like a laptop. A little. I love the big screen, i mean i wish I could’ve gotten the 2 TB. But, i already downloaded my apps and “made it“ to look a little bit like an actual laptop with the “stage thingy- whatever is called” and with the apps not going full screen so the bottom “dock” could still be visible. I mean i didn’t wanted an actual laptop to begin with and not planning on buying one.

anyways. I don’t regret on buying it because the main reason i wanted an iPad was for the biggest screen possible and well…i have it Now.
just sharing my thoughts. If you have questions i could answer them.
 
OP you are wrong.
Actually the 13 Air has the same size as the old 12.9” pro.
Just the new 13” pro has a real 13”.


Here from apples website:

the 13-inch iPad Pro is 13 inches, the 12.9-inch iPad Pro is 12.9 inches, the 11-inch iPad Pro (M4) is 11.1 inches, the 11-inch iPad Pro (1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th generation) is 11 inches, the 13-inch iPad Air is 12.9 inches

But it's still a bit lighter than previous Air, AFAIK.

It's a great device OP, enjoy!
