It's there alright, just awkward. I don't know why the 12.9 people keep referring the 9.7 size as a toy when the new pro is just as capable as their 12.9, but with properly optimized software and a better screen.
Well, I can't speak for everyone but the repeated theme is that the 9.7 does seem small after using the 12.9 for a while. I am still trying to decide which size I want.
