2. CASUAL READING: The text is very big but that also means that I don't need my glasses. Heh

I recently made this decision too. Long a fan of the mini I really wanted the new 6. But my nearsighted eyes are getting miscalibrated having to hold small devices to close. And my thumbs are getting trashed from typing out paragraphs with my thumbs.

So i jumped on a deal with 11 IPP + magic keyboard. Text should be large enough for reading at distance with glasses and the keyboard should get my thumbs out of the typing business. Not the result I want but the result I need. Damn maturity.

I just got a Mini 6 and gave my son my Pro 11 with Magic KB. I would say the Mini for what you want. I switched because I mostly utilize mine in bed for tv, web and occasional reading. The 11 Pro is a great tablet though. I just don’t need two.

Happy with my decision and current lineup. My iPhone will be my main communications / social media / Uber ride hailing device; iPad Pro will be my 24/7 daily driver (will also bring it to work) + casual gaming device + study/reading device; MBP for heavier personal tasks; and gaming desktop PC is strictly for gaming.
Hey there :) Now that a few days have passed, is the iPP great for your workflows?
