I’m wondering… my main complaint on the 11” previous models would be the weight. New model owners… how different does it feel? Give me all your impressions.
Got a tip for us?

The difference is big on the 13". It's negligible on the 11". you won't notice it on the smaller pro device
It’s a noticeable difference for me. When it’s resting on my lap as a tablet, it feels almost weightless. When its in my backpack I don’t even notice its there.
The difference is barely 5% on the iPad Pro 11 M4 vs M2, not 15%. 1.03 pounds (466 grams) vs 0.98 pounds (444 grams). 0.05 pounds are not going to make a significant difference.

Agreed
Except on the 11" it's only about 4.7% (466 > 444 grams for the wifi)
On the 13" it's the 15,1% you mention

There really isn't much more that can be done to make the 11" lighter - the reason the 13" saw a larger decrease was because the MiniLED panel backlighting was pretty hefty.
2020 12.9 (LCD) 1.42 pounds
2021 12.9 (mLED) 1.51 pounds
2024 13 (OLED) 1.28 pounds
If the 12.9 had never gotten the Mini LED panel it would only have been a 10% weight drop.

I just replaced my 1st gen iPad Pro 10.5" (2017) by the new 11" M4 and both are pretty similar in weight, size and thickness. The new M4 is slightly better in all three characteristics, but it's barely noticeable.
Wow surprised at that, I didn't try with the folio though. Could of swore the M4 felt lighter lol
I can feel a difference between the Pro 12.9 and Pro M4 13in. It does feel lighter to me. I also have the Magic Keyboard.
Wow. That’s the single most significant piece of info I have seen. They’re nearly the same once you add the Smart Folio, which I would do.
