So much hate at times for the iPad pro. Just to chime in I will say that the iPad Pro for me with the smart keyboard is better than the 12 rMB. Im only doing school work on it. But I find the experience to be great. I actually like that there is no trackpad because it shortens the distance to the keys. It is a shame that it is heavier than the 12 rMB but I suppose if they increased the screen size on that machine it would be heavier as well.
