I currently have both iPads with me, but one of them has to go back.

I originally bought the 11” iPad Pro M4 with 256GB, absolutely love it, but it felt a bit small for my needs. So I found a great deal on a like-new 12.9” M2 with 1TB of storage for slightly less money.

Now that I have both in hand, I’m torn. After using the 12.9”, I’ve come to appreciate just how light and portable the 11” is. It’s incredibly convenient. But the 12.9” screen is stunning and great for multitasking, though a bit bulky to carry around.

I really can’t decide which one to keep. Help me choose?
 
This is a very personal preference but my answer will always be 12.9. Keep in mind also that your M2 has 16 GB of ram (which may or may not be important).

The 12.9 feels bulky only because you have the 11 right next to it. Give it a few days on its own and you will quickly get used to the size.
 
Neither. Get rid of both and get an M4 13”. Slim, light and with more real estate!

If that is not an option, I would probably keep the M4, the screen (on it’s own) and camera position would make me choose it over the M2.
