My 11” M4 iPad Pro (silver) is pretty, and I’ve come around on the silver-and-white keyboard, not as tacky as it looked to me at first, but a few observations:
- It is thin. However, it feels exactly as thick as my 10.5” iPad Pro because of the latter’s tapered edges. If you measure them, the 11” M4 Pro is of course thinner, but the square edges make the iPad feel thicker than it actually is and there’s no difference in the experience of holding it.
- The Magic Keyboard alone weighs about as much as my 10.5” iPad Pro plus smart keyboard cover. This sucks. The Magic Keyboard plus iPad weigh more than my 2017 12” Macbook. It’s extremely dense. And why haven’t they slipped extra battery under the palm rests?
- The OLED screen is really nice. It’s a good 15-20% better than an LCD screen.
- Not sure what to make of the film-graininess of the display mentioned on another thread.
- You could buy a nice couch for the price of the base model with keyboard and pencil.
- Edit: one more—I tried an Apple Pencil on the nano-texture display in the store, and the feel of it on the glossy rim is almost identical to the feel on the nano-texture glass. If you’re looking for paper-like “tooth” for drawing, this isn’t it.
