So is the New iPad Pro lighter than the Air-2 or what ?

[augustya]

Phil Schiller just said the 9.7" iPad Pro weighed less than a pound but he didn't mention the thickness and width and weight When compared with the iPad Air-2 ? Anybody shocked with that ?

It's on the store now. It's the same dimensions and weight as the Air 2

According to http://www.apple.com/ipad/compare/ , it's the same weight as the Air 2

That comparison is good reading.

Now to await Engadget review and ifixit teardown on the RAM.

No it wasn't. Nor was the amount of RAM. Then again Apple never publicise RAM. I'm hoping it's the same as the 4GB in the 12.9" iPad Pro.

Apple never says specifics on the RAM. But I'm gonna go on a limb here...

My guess is that the 9.7" Pro has the same A9X as the 12.9" Pro (so, 4GB RAM), just downclocked a bit. The comparison page puts the 9.7" version at a disadvantage to the 12.9" in the CPU department.

Battery life seems to be the same although CPU and Gpu power is lower than the 12 inch pro. Pushing less pixels so lower power to keep battery life up.
