IS SMALLER, BETTER?! Which M1 iPad Pro Should You Get?

Which M1 iPad Pro should you buy? The 12.9” Mini-LED version or the 11” iPad Pro with the liquid retina display? If you watched my M1 iPad Pro first impression video, you know how excited I am about this new iPad

Three of the questions I kept getting in the comments section were “Is the display on the 12.9” version that much better? Does the extra RAM really matter? And “which one should I get”?

So should you buy the m1 ipad pro? And if so, which M1 iPad Pro should you buy? In previous years, it was easier to pick the right iPad Pro for you to buy, because pretty much everything was the same except for the size, but now we have the display size and the display type, we also have to choose between storage size which impacts how much RAM we get.

Let’s break this down, talk about the real-life implications of each component and help you choose the right iPad Pro for your needs. #ipadpro #m1iPadPro #2021iPadPro

What's up everyone?! I hope this comparison of the 12.9” M1 iPad Pro vs the 11” m1 iPad Pro was helpful. Did I cover what you wanted to know? What else did you want to see or learn about?

Would love to know what you think. Which size is right for you? Would you consider getting an older model now? I am grateful in advance 🙏

I went for the 11 inch, as you say its much more portable. It's a beast and incredibly powerful.

i am student and i am absolutely fine with the 11 in iPad
Saving is more important for me than a MINI LED Display

I went from the 11 inch Ipad Pro 2018 to the M1 12.9 iPad Pro and I ended up regretting it. It’s just too big. At 12.9 it’s almost like a laptop screen. For me the whole reason for a tablet is for portability. It’s also awkward pulling out a giant screen like that to do anything lol. The device itself was the bees knees. The screen was wonderful! I just found myself leaving it on my desk because i didn’t feel like carrying it around most days. So, I’m selling it and going to the 11 inch m1 iPad Pro. I do appreciate your videos though! You went through allot of relevant features in style!

Returned my 11” for the 12.9 today! Just couldn’t get over the feeling I was missing out every time I pulled out the iPad. Couldn’t be happier with my decision

I was contemplating between getting the air 4 or the m1 pro 11" since I'm just a student and I'm worried I won't be utilizing the amazing specs of the m1, but I chose the m1 pro since it's more future proof and you're right, buy it nice or buy it twice.

PS: I love your videos since they're so chill and comprehensive

[nauscakes]

I always get the biggest one so I can draw on it!

One of these days I'll learn what else the iPad can do beyond Procreate

[eurus]

living for your thumbnails!! man it is so nice to see you smile a lot! and once again thank you for the amazing video Sagi!

People prefer to get the most portable for their travel so they disregard the 12.9” but as someone who loves bigger screen, I’m thinking of getting the 12.9” since I think it’s still portable as well lol.

Great channel and informative videos! Bought an iPad Pro 12.9 last week. It was my first iPad ever. Have since returned it for an iPad Pro 11 instead. In-store the 12.9 didn’t feel heavy, but with a Logitech Combo Touch keyboard case, screen protector, and Apple Pencil the weight is hard to ignore. Altogether it weighed more than my M1 MacBook Air! Even without the keyboard attached, the 12.9 with case and everything was 2.5-lb to hold up and instead of enjoying my new iPad all I could focus on was the weight and how much I didn’t want to use it anymore. I am so much happier (and relieved) to have the 11” instead. If you’re always going to have the iPad propped up on a desk, stand, couch or bed then go with the 12.9. If you want to use an iPad anywhere inside or outside your home then the 11” is much lighter and better.

Mini-LED honestly wasn’t as impressive in-person to me as I imagined it would be, and even if mini-LED was super awesome the weight of the 12.9 was a dealbreaker and made me hate using the darn thing.

I went back and forth on the this a lot. I’ve had the 12.9 inch iPad since Gen 1, and I skipped the 2020 version. The biggest reason I went to 12.9 1TB, was that the 11 inch shows apps in the mobile view when you leverage split screen. I use split screen ALL THE TIME and so after playing with an 11 inch, I decided on the 12.9. Also, the iPad currently, is my only portable device for personal use. So I wanted the larger screen as well.
Good content. found you looking for some info on the Canon m50. Keep it going!

Great review! I just got the new 11 inch iPad Pro, and the Magic Keyboard; and I am loving it. My old iPad Pro was the 2017 edition, and I cannot believe how much faster this m1 chip is…..everything is lightening fast! 😎

[MinuteTech]

I just sincerely hope iPadOS 15 takes advantage of the new hardware. These iPads are always outperforming the software, and this generation is the most extreme example of this.

Just bought new 12.9 2021" with tempered glass on it no issue at all using first gen magic keyboard. Edited: recently bought DBrand skin called Swarm and still works fine although a little opening when you lay it down keyboard on top. Dbrand skin is really thick, really good quality.

You are really giving me all the information I need for my decisions.
Keep it up !!!!

I am picking up the 11” this afternoon. It will be my first iPad ever. I really wanted the better display but I wanted some level of portability so I went with the 11. I went with 256 because I plan on using this for a while considering the M1 and 8gb ram should be sufficient for years. The new mini hype really got me researching iPads and your videos have been a huge help! Thanks! Subbed and liked 👍

[alycks]

I love my 12.9, wanted the 11 but now it feels too small after I got used to the 12.9, and the xdr is too good to pass

[ZuluFoxtrot]

Got a 12.9 w/512gb on order. Blows it's a month wait!

[texayt]

One of the honest reviewer i had ever seen❤️
