To those who have zero regrets as of yet... can you share in which way it has been the right choice? And did you realize that you weren't meant to be a Pro user after all?

I just ordered mine, starlight in 254 gb. I currently have a Pro 11-inch model from 2018, and I always saw myself using it as a computer, taking notes, studying on it and ect.... but I've graduated and got my bachelor degree, so it never really served it's purpose other than reading books on, and highlighting text, which would be more enjoyable on the mini anyways. I always took to my mac for writing off from my iPad. The Pro ended up being primarily sed for consumption like YouTube. I'm very hopeful.

I was using an 11 Pro at home and a Mini 5 as my mobile tablet. Switched to Mini 6 with pencil for everything. No regrets at all. The Mini 6 feels almost as "pro" as my actual Pro model did.

I think this is heavily dependent on what you use your iPad for. If you really value size, nothing will beat the mini. Not even the Pro models. I’m definitely in that boat. The mini is the perfect size for my usage. I was on the fence with the 5 because of the outdated form. But this new update is amazing.

i have the 2018 11 pro and a new mini. For my use it’s 90% mini know. It’s better for bed time reading and gaming. I do like note taking and pdf marking on the 11. I use this for work so the pro is now a pro device and mini is the cadual device.
