The 12.9 pro is my main machine for anything non work related (including taxes, legal procedures, amateur video editing etc.) For me it’s the screen. It’s the only iPad with a 12.9” screen, and it really makes a difference: - Having two apps side by side, each at roughly the same size as they would be full-screen on an iPad mini. - Reading manga with the right + left panel both visible, “as intended by the author”. Even for novels I find it more comfortable. - the screen being roughly A4 size, PDFs are displayed almost at the standard print size, so size adjustments, zooming in and out etc. are rarely needed. I’d often ”scan” the instructions at the administrations and keep them displayed on the iPad while filling the paperwork, and it’s perfect. - Pixel peeping photos is great, editing with the pencil makes it better, as a photo viewing/editing device it’s perfect. If tomorrow the Air got a 12.9” or bigger screen I might switch (I love the additional ‘Pro’ features , but that wouldn’t justify the cost compared to the other models in my use case). I actually eyed at 14” chromebooks as a replacement, and might actually do the jump if the ecosystem improves enough when the Pixel tablet arrives.
