Saw one of these for the first time. A bloke had one in a lecture, and I just can't see the point of them. The size of it is just unnecessary!
It's no bigger than a magazine.
But what is the purpose of it being so big? I use my iPhone 6 mostly, and rarely use my iPad mini. iPad mini would be perfect for trains etc.
I just want an iPad that will last me another 3 years and not run like a brick.Depends what you want
If you want to get an iPad, just get an iPad
If you want a laptop replacement that's trendy enough to draw envious glances from everyone in Starbucks, but has about 1/4 of the functionality, get an iPad pro
If you want a laptop replacement that isn't going to win you any scene-points but is a genuinely good piece of kit, get a Surface

I need a new iPad (currently have an iPad3), but not sure if the Pro is a little overkill.
Is it that much better than the Air 2?
I've got a 2012 Macbook Pro which does most things for me. Just need the iPad for basic stuff at the moment.Depends on what you need/want.
Performance wise its a massive step up, huge.
If you plan on browsing the web while on the move then I'd go for the Air2, for anything else I'd say iPP.
The iPP is substantially more money, is cost and portability of paramount importance?

Sounds like the Air2 will do the job.

I love my air 2. I do not see the point in waiting for the air 3. Slightly better specs thats a definite, but what's the point when the air 2 is hardly a slug. Oh and a slightly improved camera...which is only used by grandparents and chinese people
Lol yesLOL no.
Lol yes
Bought a 128gb one today, nice and big.

It's like going from an iPhone 5 to a 6 and then wondering how you ever got on with such a small screen.
That's an iPad Air 1, although it seems and feels bigger than the pic shows. It's needs to be held in two hands. I'd say it's not one to be taking out of the house, it's not heavy, just large.
On the air I can hold it in both hands and still just about type on the keyboard, the pro is just so big I can't do that so its one finger typing. The keyboard is better though, numbers and other stuff already on screen without the need to go into another part of the keyboard by pressing a button.
Also seems rapid, not done too much with it but it's quick.
I personally think you'll look a t**t with one?
Like people who talk on a phablet.
I just think it's overkill for a train or plane, but I'll probably try it out. Put it this way, I'm training it into London all week and will be taking my air with me.
Videos do look very cool on it though.
Work wear, while at work, better than wearing a suitAs much as a t**t as wearing a softcat t-shirt?
:wink:
Genuinely laughing, as I've just realised that's your cardboard cut out isn't it?View attachment 141769 View attachment 141770

I was waiting for someone to notice that and yes it is!Genuinely laughing, as I've just realised that's your cardboard cut out isn't it?
iPad minis are the boss. Biggest tablet you'd ever need tbh
satchel!!!
lol - wheres Alan at these days?
has the OP bought one yet? matter of time!
So, he got the keyboard & it all looked nice, the keyboard doesn't have a £ on it, only $ so he made a short cut for it... he ended taking it back over the weekend as he already has various other apple products.My boss had one the other day, I thought it was huge! My colleague's just got one too (both have 128gb) after seeing it again, it's not as big as I thought it was & looks neat.
I'm considering getting one to replace my ageing laptop (it's six years old now & clinging on for life!) I have an ipad 4, but I'd use this instead of the laptop. I'd get the keyboard too as do a fair bit of typing. I'm yet to see the keyboard as my colleague has to pick that up later.
