iPad Pro I’ve come to a new conclusion regarding 11” vs 13” iPads

I much prefer Windows to MacOS, so I am glad I have a lot more options (lighter devices, touch and pen, 5G), including now with excellent battery life thanks to Snapdragon X and Intel Lunar Lake. But I still love my iPad pro, because nothing is this light in a 13" body and touch optimized.

I go back-and-forth. I really like the windows hardware—like the Surface Pro, but windows is so over the top about AI. Who knows though, Apple might start going down the same path.

I am hoping WWDC makes ipadOS better.

I truly find Windows to be very touch-unfriendly. Reasonable touch based devices but it feels like Microsoft didn’t do much to optimize for touch. It’s just a PC with a much bigger pointing device, the finger. The iPad at least still retains its organic purpose and is much more pleasant to use for long stretches of reading, etc.

And to set the record straight, I am not a coder or developer and do not work in tech. I work in medicine/healthcare and can absolutely do 100% of my work on my iPad Pro and enjoy its portability while toting it around the city and the OLED/nano-texture display. Sometimes the Magic Keyboard comes with, other times it’s just a 1lb tablet in a Smart Folio in my bag.
