iPad Pro 12.9 vs 11 inch - Does SIZE matter?

Today I answer one of the most asked questions I get: What size iPad Pro do you use? What is the best size for note-taking? and Why?

[@crispybat1]

I wanted to buy one for... well, everything: university, note taking, learning and watching netflix at home, playing etc. And I couldnt decide between them either. But my first impression - which is very important - was that the 12.9" is just too big. Im a big guy, but still, it wasnt comfortable to hold. So I ordered the 11" model. But I had second thoughts. I went back to the store, and after some time I realized I can get to used to the bigger one too. Especially when I used it in split screen mode - it was beautiful. FYI Ive never had an apple device before, I worked hard to have some cash, and wanted the best... I read all the reddit pages, watched every youtube video about this, even asked Samuel too, and I realized that most of youtubers recommend the 12.9 inch for note taking and productivity. But I thought I'd wait, try out the 11 inch in a daily basis and if i dont like it, i can send it back. Now, after a week of using the smaller one, I could say, the 11" is the perfect size for me. I can taking notes easily, reading, watching netflix, and the split screen is good too. I bought a logitech folio touch keyboard case, cuz I wanted to protect my one and only luxury device at any cost, and the portability is still amazing with it (its a bit heavy but not as much as the 12.9 would be with a similar case). So im happy with my decision, I didnt regret it at all, and u know, I think you should listen to your first impression. EDIT My experience after using it a month: the uni went full online so i use my windows laptop (which is a must!!!) to log in teams and join to online classes, so I have full screensize to take notes (and our teachers upload the ppt before the classes and sometimes even the whole lecture with voice and everything, or let us to record it) and do stuff. Its amazing, guys

Come on, it’s not that much heavier than the 11’. I have an iMac, no laptop, so the 12.9’ works as a laptop as well. I love having extra screen space to write on. P/s: your notes are so aesthetic.

[@popopopkckckc6619]

As a student who has begun using ipad a year ago, I would definitely say how important screen size is to notetaking. The reason why I upgrade from ipad air to ipad pro 11inch was because of the screen size and the button (which irritates me because my palm clicked on it when Im doing notes vertically). Although you may think 0.5inch do not make any difference, I definitely feel much difference. Ill definitely go for 12.9 if I could but... since Im on budget 11 inch will be a better optiom for me. Just sharing some thoughts here :D

[@wiilillad]

I bought the 12.9, and I regret it. It's too big for most things. Especially note taking and reading. I recommend 11 inch for most people. If you need a screen that is 13 inches, you probably also need a laptop.

[@ang4987]

It's the same size as a piece of paper though? If you think the iPad pro 12.9 is too big then wouldn't you also think it's hard to write on a standard sized piece of paper? I just recently bought the 12.9 and have not received it yet but I did get the case delivered and its really not as uncomfortably big as people make it out to be (Im a 5'4 girl btw with small hands). Im planning on using it for digital art however

[@wiilillad]

It's quite heavy. If you want to use it for reading or media consumption, it is extremely tiring to handle. If I hold it for more than an hour, my wrists begin to hurt. It's really only practical to use if it's support on some surface like a table or desk. Therefore, I wouldn't really consider it to be very mobile. If you want to use it for note taking in meetings or class rooms, it's very heavy to carry around. It's almost the same weight as a laptop.

[@xanh350]

You are correct, that dude probably one of these new 15 inch laptops that support pens. LG got one I think.

[@directed6924]

Agree. 12.9 is too big and heavy for reading books and holding it in one hand for more than 5 minutes is very uncomfortable experience. The 11 inch is perfect size and weight for everything.

Desmond Ling I 100% agree. I just upgraded 2 days ago form the 9.7 to the 11 inch pro. I think I might even want the space from the 12.9” because the keyboard folio is bigger (meaning larger keyboard). The 9.7 was just way too small...

Great review indeed, appreciated. Totally agree, it depends very much on one's personal workflows. Like yourself I'm a visual person and needs diagrams all the time (I work with software), also I'm into note taking (that's my way of learning), and additionally my hobby is drawing and painting, so my use case points me into the 12,9. Other use cases will point other users towards the 11 inch, and that too is a perfectly valid option.

[@dsummerssummers15]

I personally went for the 11” model instead of the 12.9” model because I’m a college student and portability is my main concern. I already have a 15.6” Lenovo Yoga laptop at home so I don’t need a macbook-like iPad to carry around. I’m only 4’10” so carrying around a 12.9” tablet would feel too big for me. I have the Logitech Folio Touch case on it and I honestly like the size of the 11”. I’m happy with it!

Moreover, I am going to become a student once again and it will be so much helpful with iPad Pro. Finally, I received my 12,9 inch iPad Pro 2020 and I am more than happy about it, as it’s perfect size for me I even thought it is supposed to be bigger because everyone saying it’s huge but it’s light in real and it feels just amazing while working on it. Thank you for your videos, Samuel.

[@peterdejong5456]

11.9 would be the sweet spot for multitasking and portability. But if you use the iPad as a whiteboard for taking notes and drawing screen size does not matter as your digital canvas can be as large as you like and you can pan and zoom extremely fast while working on details.

[@harshAmiya]

Yes, that’s why 11 inch is better

[@HentaiSamaKun]

Since I want to do outdoor sketching with it, the 11” one is the best choice for me

[@keranhuang]

I’m an happy owner of the 11 inch and I agree with everything you said! The 11 works for me because I’m someone who literally opens my iPad everywhere, like carrying it around and watching a video on it while walking (yes, i know thats not good but lol), and carrying around the 12.9 is simply too heavy. However, as a student, I definitely feel the frustration of the smaller space in split screen, but that’s something I’m willing to sacrifice as I’m not as detailed with my notes. HOWEVER, I would recommend anyone who’s getting the 11 inch to get the cellular version. Since it is so portable, sometimes I leave my phone at home and only bring my iPad!

[@JAFrk]

@@kiaxoy Those are called trade-offs and they exist everywhere when it comes to any kind of product with variations allowing people to better customize their experience. The original poster called it a " cruel marketing strategy," when really it's just engineering limitations. The OP is essentially accusing Apple of deliberately deciding to not to create a product that is impossible to engineer in order to make buyers have to choose between two screen sizes? It's called being entitled. If that's what they desire then they should buy from Samsung and Oppo who are trying to address the portability vs screen size issues with folding and rolling phones, both that introduce issues Apple is mostly not willing to deal with.

I have a 12.9 iPad pro 2020. I did have the 11 inch pro 2018 and loved it. The cost was a major factor for me at the time, so went for the smaller screen. The portability was fantastic but split screen was limiting. My teenage daughter now uses it. She uses it mainly for Procreate, and it is perfect for this. I found that I couldn't comfortably handwrite my notes and have the text book open at the same time (I'm studying maths). It was great for lectures, as I have to travel by car and train to get there, and it took up zero space. My son has the 7th gen and it uses the same apps, same iOS etc and when we discuss iPads in Uni, I do mention that a pro isn't needed. I just love the functionality of the 2nd gen pencil which was my deciding factor on going for pro.

@@ishitaarora281 I got around that by screenshotting the question and pasting it into my workbook (I use goodnotes). I like having the question with my answer, so that if I'm looking back at my work, I don't have to find the correct page in my textbook. It's one of the reasons I went paperless, having everything in my workbook. I also screenshot the answer, so I can directly compare my answer with how the textbook answered it. A few times I've got the correct answer with a different method, so screenshotting the answer has meant I didn't need to copy the answer to have both methods in my workbook.

[@mijvlogs9520]

As always a great video. In my opinion size doesn’t matter, to me the extra inch of the 12.9 just makes it bulkier and less portable while also having to make you use it with two hands. I’ve used both sizes but I really just prefer the 11 inch, does this mean that the 12.9 is bad? Not at all, but the experience is a little different. In my opinion size does not matter, either choice has it’s pros and cons, but I myself don’t think that there is enough of a difference to ‘miss out on the true iPad experience.’ This video did make me reconsider my 11 inch iPad Pro, but to be honest, the cons I lose or gain aren’t enough to make me switch. But Great video, thanks Samuel.

[@dAdDyGlEnZ]

on my personal take, i will take the 11 inch if i had a laptop to compliment for a large screen. 11 inch is not small for note taking and even drawing. the price of portability just cant be ignored. it's the very reason why photographers have shifted now to mirrorless cameras instead of staying to DSLRs. for everything like video editing and other heavy stuffs, the laptop will do the compliment the 11 inch lacks. but if you dont have a laptop, the 12 inch is a sure winner to hold and do your work.

I’ve had 2 11 inch iPads, and have used my friends iPad Air, and let me tell you NOTHING compares to a 12.9 inch iPad Pro with that beautiful display. Couldn’t imagine going back to an 11 inch iPad

Some of the best videos on KZbin. Thank you for sharing your opinions and knowledge.

Why Apple doesn't introduce 12"

[@leo9597]

I ordered an 11’ last night, and honestly after this video i still feel good about it. I’ve been taking notes on a device that’s half the size of a sheet of paper so I don’t think it’ll be too limiting to me. Great video though :)

[@josephwheeler26]

so I have the same 11’ as a student, but my friend has a 12’, and let me tell you it is so much easier to get mine EVRRYWHERE. Sure a screen that’s bigger sounds nice, but you will never have issues with the screen size honestly.

[@hughesbradc]

I am patiently waiting for my 11” to ship and had a moment of “oh, no...maybe I should have gone with the larger screen.” Your comments reminded me I’m currently using my iPad 9.7” to take notes without much of a hassle, so the 11” will be an improvement without compromising portability. Thanks!

[@josephwheeler26]

Brad Hughes it's the perfect size, fits great next to sheets of paperor notebooks for school!

[@CraftxGame]

@@hughesbradc When is your iPad expected to arrive? Mine arrives sometime between Sep 10-17

[@hughesbradc]

@Price sometime between Sep 22-29.

[@oa999]

Thank you for your video. Finally, I got the answer to which size I will go for my study and work stuff.

[@AjmalShahaban]

One thing I loved about your video is, you were talking most of the things from a medico's perspective. I frankly feel, in the coming future the app developers are going to use the full potential of iPad Pro's sheer power for all the things that we do on Macbooks. Especially after seeing improvements in Lumafusion with the multiselect option, and if they bring the auto audio sync, I will be switching to ipad for all video editing. This is going to replace Macbook for me. Affinity photo has already replaced my normal photoshop works and Affinity Designer is on another league with the pencil support. To me, the ultra portability factor is really for mobile device. I am not gonna watch youtube on a train with an iPad even if it was 9.7, rather i ll be doing it on my phone. I think, its better to compromise on the ultra ultra portability than to regret for the real estate you will miss....

[@AdeMolajo]

I remember when the iPad Mini came out and I thought that was the sweet spot. I thought that the 9.7" was now unnecessarily large. Fast forward to 2020 and I was so concerned that the 11" was now too small! I bought the 11" and have not regretted it once.

[@ThegroopieofUSA]

No issue with split screen?

[@AdeMolajo]

@@ThegroopieofUSA I regularly use OneNote on one side and a book/safari/KZbin on the other. Would it fit more on 12.9? Absolutely, but I wouldn’t want a tablet that big.

[@ThegroopieofUSA]

@@AdeMolajo okay so would u call the experience good enough? Or would still feel it lacks in some way?

[@AdeMolajo]

@@ThegroopieofUSA I use it everyday with the pencil. I don’t want a bigger iPad. Better than good enough!

[@ThegroopieofUSA]

@@AdeMolajo okayy thank u

[@natashaxxiii]

I used to have 12.9” then I downgraded to 11” just because I wanna be able to take both ipad&macbook at the same time everywhere with me. I seriously regretted nothing. I have MacBook pro I mostly use for essays writing, video editing or anything that’s not creativity related. I mainly use my ipad as a book and folder really. I agreed that 11” is so portable I don’t miss 12.9” one bit. I do use sidecar function a lot too but that’s really not my main concern. I seriously think that whichever one you go for it’s very less likely that you’d notice the difference. It’s very easy to get used to with it. P.S welcome back! Been missing your aesthetically pleasing video a lot!

[@AdamariMedia]

originally I wanted the 12.9 because I love large screens, but I use too many softwares on my computer that I can not use an iPad as a laptop replacement. Because of this, I was thinking maybe I should just go for the 11'" to save some money, and since if I need to be doing any desk type of work I will probably have my laptop with me too. It sounds like this is the situation with you and you also mentioned using sidecar, do you think the size is good for using sidecar, or does it feel too small? Do you still feel the same? I am excited to buy one!

[@natashaxxiii]

@@AdamariMedia hi there, I’m so sorry it took me quite sometimes to get back but I still love my 11” even for sidecar uses. Just as an example, I opened google doc - moved to my iPad (as sidecar) then used my laptop to do research and whatnot. For me I don’t notice much of a differences. Also, if you use it for awhile and can’t seem to like the size of it, you can always return it and get the one that suits you! I am also excited for you to be getting your new iPad 🥰 I hope this helps!

[@AdamariMedia]

@@natashaxxiii Thank you! Also, may I ask did you get the128 storage or more? or for how long have you had your iPad, and how much storage have you used up so far?

[@ramishat]

Thanks Samuel. My country doesn't offer Apple products. I ordered an Air 3 last week after a lot of hassle. And I love how you mentioned it's enough for me, as I am a student. Great video, as usual. Keep them coming!

[@AK-rr1ts]

What a beautiful way of explaining things and what an effort ...... each video of Samuel is worth my time ........ I don’t seem to skip or move to another video when I am watching this guys content ....... keep going your efforts are really appreciated. 👍

[@adamfazlullahsharief]

I feel like I should be paying money to see this video

[@bryannajordan7814]

I love my iPad Pro 12.9 and honestly it feels so small now 😅

[@tsumatcha]

intros change depending on the topic 🙊 The way you make your videos is near artistic considering the detail you put in.. thanks for the awesome content!!

[@MarchionessDarby62]

I use a 12.9 inch as well, though that was because at the time, I was replacing a 13 inch laptop. Since then I bought an MacBook Air, which is awesome, but I probably still use the iPad most of the time. I have an iPad Mini, which I should pull out of mothballs and give it a go again. Thanks for the video!

[@hmathenge25]

You explain stuff so well Samuel. Good job!

[@2Evan]

Brilliant this video - watching it with one hand on iPad Pro 11. Just perfect comparison, and in a very humble and practical way to boot (compare most Tech Geeks promoting Next Big Thing surrounded by 27 computers and peripherals). Note-taking and multitasking are massive here, so yep, larger screen would come in handy. We’re that close to working only with iPads, but we decided to buy the new M1 MBA instead of a 12.9 iPad. We still need a laptop (basically our desktop) for 5% of our tasks. Superb recommendation (iPad Air) for those that don’t really need the Pro. 👏

[@alwinpaulalias657]

Hai, I think you have family roots in Kerala. I am from Kerala wishing Happy Onam. Your videos are amazing just like the sadhya we have on onam.

[@AreebIrshadSimplifies]

I'm glad that you mentioned that iPad is just a tool and you don't necessarily need it to be able to study. By the way, if I ever buy an iPad, it will be because of you Samuel! :P :D Love from India.

[@MomenM97]

Discovered him recently and man LOVE YOUR VIDS. I subbed

[@tduchemin]

Another great video. I use the 12.9 for teaching, having traded up from the smaller one

[@79MD]

What should be memory size - for teaching say for upto 5 to 7 years ?
