Why I switched to the 11-inch iPad Pro!

I’ve always been a big iPad Pro guy, but I’ve recently switched from the 13-inch M4 iPad Pro to the 11-inch M4 iPad Pro. In this video, I explain why I’ve done that and why I was so wrong before!

11” iPad Pro is in my opinion the perfect tablet size. Not too big, not too small. Love my M4 IPP. 😊

[andriyurenov]

I did the same. Downsized from M2 12.9 to M4 11. Couldn’t be happier.

The 11 inch iPad Pro M4 is truly the Goldilocks of tablets...

[toddcastaldi]

ProMotion is the main game changer for me in the Pro vs Air debate. If you keep devices for 5+ years, go with the Pro. It’ll feel fast for a very long time.

[Bryan-seov]

The 11 inch iPad Pro M4 is the jack of all trades now that it has the same display as the 13 inch. It can do everything you need it to do. I just got one in space black with Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil Pro. Best device I ever owned.

[JudgeFredd]

As soon as you can use an external display if you need a bigger screen, the 11 inches version is the right size for most usage

Yea!!! Mark has finally seen the light of the 11" iPad Pro. Welcome to our 11" iPadPro universe. Unless you have a precise use case for the 13" iPad Pro, the 11" Pro model is the sweet spot in the iPad ecosystem for nice power in a portable form that can easily fit on an airplane tray table in coach. Yes, I have uses for the 13" iPad Pro and it is a wonderful device, but the 11" model is the grab and go model for computing on the go. I use both daily, but I am holding the 11" for an 90 minutes a day plus using it in the magic keyboard while I am using the bigger model only in the magic keyboard or on a stand with the mouse, pencil, and a keyboard. Of an evening when I am reading from the iPad, I am using the 11" and not the 13" because it is easier to hold.

The 11 inch is definitely the perfect size for any iPad. I had the 12.9inch iPad Pro a few years back and found that when using it as just a tablet on the sofa or in bed, it was just a bit too big whereas the 11inch is perfect for any scenario.

[darwincruz]

Love the authenticity here. Not all creators would say “I was wrong”

[yolosolodolo]

I did the same exact thing. Sent back the 13” for the 11”. Realized I wanted the iPad mini to be pro and the 12.9” pro to be smaller. The 11” is a happy middle

[techhubwiltsuk]

I still love my 13 inch however, I completely get your reasoning for getting the 11 inch. Looks like it was the right choice for you.

[jonnymarkbeadle]

I did almost the same thing. Instead of replacing my M1 13 inch iPad Pro with the M4 equivalent, I went for the 11 inch because I have a 14” MacBook Pro if I want a bigger screen. I simply wanted the best iPad for other stuff like content consumption and arty writey stuff.

[TheTekSone]

I am a silver 11" iPad Pro M4 gal with the white version of the Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro 11-inch (M4) and Pencil Pro! Glad you fell in love with the 11-inch version. Welcome back!

[cartguy]

I was a Flight Attendant for many years. And I remember passengers struggling with 13 inch iPads at their seats. It was too big. I vowed to go no bigger than 11 inches in a tablet.

[jsbarto]

I have a 9" iPad Pro I bought in 2016...It's my backup for traveling as I don't own a laptop. I might upgrade to the 11-inch iPad Pro... the first time in awhile I've been impressed enough with the iPad selections to consider upgrading.

[okhouri]

Man! The same happened to me. All my previous iPads were the larger size and I went to the Apple Store to purchase the 13 inch. Once I got there, I handled both of them and fell in love with the 11 inch. I can’t believe how amazing this device is and how productive it makes me.

[Pesto-]

I started years ago with 9.7, then 10.5, then 11 and finally to 12.9. Now, I bought the 11" M4 and couldn't be happier. I am out a lot so the size is perfect!

[Josephsoto]

11 inch is the perfect size for me. If I need to do actual work I have a 16 inch MacBook Pro M3. The IPad for me is really just for casual use. Movies, games, easy portability etc…. It def is the most comfortable feeling ipad

[Kythlo]

I had the M1 12.9” Pro, which I really liked. I got the 13” size at first as well, and also decided to try the 11” and wow I love it.

[daniellebedev]

I’ve used the iPad Pro M1 11 inch as my only computer and it’s amazing! It’s extremely portable and yet so powerful
