Funny......the reason I bought my first iPad (the iPad 2) was because I had just gotten a job where I was going to be on the train a lot. I don't think I could survive a train commute without an iPad in my bag.I'm having this same debate with myself right now. I love my mini, but I'm thinking of upgrading to the 9.7" iPad Pro. I just got a new job, and I'm going to start commuting to work by train. I love having the mini fit in one hand, but I think do to my change in usage the larger screen is going to be worth it for me.
