Yeah, it's gigantic. Not like the 6 plus vs the 6 big. It is HUGE!
Glad I have the return period to try this out and see if I can get used to it
Edit: here is it with my 12" MacBook. HUGE

So - Hard to use on a chair/lap scenario? Please elaborate more.
Is the IPP really meant for "lay it flat on a table" and that's about it? (other than a stand for it I mean)
Uncomfortable to sit on the sofa and browse with. Haven't been in bed with it yet but can't see it being comfortable.
Laying it on the table is fine but holding it up to view emails, browse the web etc is just uncomfortable. Not the weight or anything. It doesn't feel heavy. It's just uncomfortably big.
If I had a nickle for every time I heard that........
Browsing the web & general use must be lightning fast/completely fluid & stutter free?
Thx for the report - Man...I may be cancelling. A huge chunk of my iPad use is browsing the web on the couch
I love telling guys this. It makes them feel good about themselves...even if they don't measure up to my level.

Wait?!?! I don't understand how people are so shocked by it's size. I'm also a bit surprised that people are buying this version of an iPad for simple browsing and media. Of course it is uncomfortable to hold...it is almost 13 inches!!! They list the dimensions and there are multiple options of smaller versions of iPads. Why buy this if you weren't wanting something BIG?!?!
It seems to me that the iPad Pro is intended to be used mainly with a keyboard or laying flat for drawing and graphics. I bought mine with a keypad to be a more portable version of my laptop. I don't doubt that it is huge, it is supposed to be.

It's basically the same size as the Samsung Tab Pro right? I didn't find that to be all that large - just right, in fact. I find the normal iPad a bit too small.
How are the existing apps fitting/running on the Pro? Does it scale them? Do they have issues or artifacts when doing so?
Are you finding the RAM is making a big difference? How many tabs can you have open at once in Safari and switch between (on bust sites) without the tabs having to reload?

Yeah, as someone who also has a 12" rMB, I just don't see me needing this. I think it'd be especially awkward with the case and the pen - much more cumbersome than the svelt rMB. Heck, I no longer even carry around my SP3 that much, since I got the little rMB.
Would be nice to see a few more pics of the two, especially with the cover/keypad attached?
On the bright side - I'm assuming there will be some open-box returns selling for a discount, in the near future?

Surely smooth web browsing is a connection thing? I know the latest gen ipads access super fast wifi, but you need an appropriate router to do this.
This is why i also purchased an Air Port Extreme, so i also have this super fast wifi experience.
I was expecting it to be closer in size/feel to my 12" Macbook, but...jeez it feels much bulkier than the Macbook! I'm more inclined to carry the Macbook around the house than the Pro.
Good! I want this thing to be huge. I plan on using it 90% for illustration work and for that, bigger is better. I'm bored to death with the size of the regular iPad - I love hearing people shocked that it's such a big device - that makes me confident that I can use it daily as my MacBook Pro replacement for "most" tasks.
I have my Time Capsule, but I tend to only turn it on when I'm using my Mac (which is hardly ever, these days).
I was referring to the 4 gigs of RAM, and fast CPU/GPU.
I'm coming from an iPad 4, don't forget!
Aye, but you also mention web browsing. Im no techie. Far from it. Which is why im also wondering, if i dont upgrade my router, what, if any speed differences on internet browsing there'll be between my ipad2 and ipad pro?
I think the bummer for those that are realizing the size isn't for them is that the Air 2 wasn't updated.
lmao
That's like - The car isn't really that big - It fits great on my 40' flatbed trailer!
