There are serious trade offs in getting the very large 12.9 iPad over the smaller 11. These trade offs are glaring for me today. Or maybe throbbing should be the word. The 12.9 is sooo HEAVY! I think I have tennis thumb from holding it with my left hand yesterday. Pain!

Nah, we know you too well now.

I guess at the end of the day you have to use the tool that best does the job which might mean a range of machines/ operating systems to suit the task.

Same here...am convinced that after I proof read it and look away it reverts to the gibberish I first wrote.

Windows is no great shakes I considered a change but to get the computing power I needed in an Apple machine was prohibitively expensive, also friends were reporting how temperamental they were.

??faith??! *familiar with*...fat finger syndrome

I have a laptop that runs on Windows which I use for Ableton live and some of the bigger Adobe programs but am pretty faith it as been using Windows since it first came out in the 1800s, I use my phone, now an android too a lot for photography and it links seamlessly to my Tab

I keep an old ipad because of the music apps I use that are unavailable on Android but for everything else I have Samsung Tab 6s which has been a revelation and which I adore. The other gripe I have Apple is the huge amount of space the operating system occupies.

Just heard someone else remarking on the impractical weight of the 12.9 and the hand pain caused by holding it for any length of time (I think it could be the dense, stodgy operating system )

Kinda wishing I had gotten the 11 and a giant fresnel lens. But the fresnel would have precluded me from using it in the sun , . Life is all about trade offs.

Im really serious here. If you plan to get the 12.9 you must take into account the weight unless you intend to balance it on one knee as opposed to holding it like a book. I got the larger one because Im going blind. I cannot read or even see graphics without glasses.
