    I’ve actually had both the 13in and 11in M4 models. I first bought the 13in and liked it but found it a little too big and returned it and got the 11in M4 and liked it at first but just thought it was a bit too small and too similar to older models. I then returned the 11in and re-ordered the 13in and came to the conclusion I just like the bigger size more. Movies and games just look amazing on the 13in.

    Great video mate. I returned the 13inch and got the 11inch and was best decision I made. I just found that as much as I loved the 13inch I just found that it was way too big to leave the house with and I couldn’t take it out of my bag when travelling on the train without feeling like a tool lol. I also absolutely HATED the 4x3 Aspect ratio when watching content. The 11inch being 10x7 is actually better imo. The speakers on the 13 I miss but the 11 inch sound amazing for the size so I can live with that minor trade off.

    • @chris-colton

      Thanks for watching Eddie! I totally agree with you - the 11inch is definitely more travel friendly and a bit more manageable on trains and planes but I think I just really preferred the bigger screen for reading and watching things even with the aspect ratio! You’ll not regret the 11inch anyway - it’s great too!

    Hooray!! Many (UA-camrs) seem to trade down, and only recommend the 13” for drawing. I’m pleased you’re a normal user going for the large one. You may have tipped the balance on my decision. Cheers.

    I have pondered the 11 inch vs 13 inch conundrum for quite a while, and in the end I opted for the 11 inch iPad Pro. Can’t imagine using the 13 inch on the Glider, the looks I would get :) The 11 inch is a little less conspicuous when out and about

    11” for me. I just got a lovely MacBook Pro 14” which will mostly stay on my desk plugged Into my monitor. But I have an 11” M1 Pro that I also have on my desk and use round the house. I’m going to buy the M4 11” model at some point when I have the money. May get the cellular version. I thought about the 13”, but it’ll be too c,one to my laptop and too big to have on my desk. I also have a 28” monitor and my works laptop on my desk. I’ll get the new Magic Keyboard too.
    As you say though it’s entirely personal,preference and it’s great to see no disparity with the new models with both having the new OLED screen, cameras and processor upgrades. I love the iPad device.

    I sold my iPad Pro 12,9 M1 for an IPad Pro 11 M4
    Love it because of the size and the weight
    More practical
    I loved my 12,9 but , despite of its weight, I realized I was using it less and less and used more my mini

    Thank you for the video. You have a new subscriber.. do you find that the M4 13” can be used more in tablet mode with the thinner design? I had the 12.9 and had to return and go with the 11 but I missed the real estate… thanks!

    I actually think the full size 13 inch Magic Keyboard is more convenient for typing than lugging around a MacBook Pro - and pretty much has the same amount of key travel. I like having the OLED and the flexibility of being able to easily do both work and play whenever I like…

    Hey there - what did you end up doing. Did you take the 11 back for the 13 and are you happy with it. I bought the 11 and loved it for 10 days but, took it back today for the 13. Now I have the 13 because I thought I was missing the screen I want the 11 back and I am actually thinking of going back to the 11 - let me know what you ended up doing and are you happy?

    • @chris-colton
      @chris-colton  3 місяці тому +3

      So I ended up returning the 11inch iPad and bought the 13 inch iPad pro with the smart folio and I am really happy I did. I've been loving the 13 inch again for consuming content and some light productivity work - it's just better having that screen real estate for me. I do get why you are missing the 11inch because it feels like the perfect size in your hands for a tablet when holding, but for watching movies/tv shows in bed, on the sofa or on a plane, it was the better option for me. The OLED screen is beautiful.

    • @wobind72
      @wobind72 3 місяці тому +1

      Yeah I know - I think generally the 11 inch is the sweet spot and I don’t know what I will do. I am typing this on the 13 I got today and I’m feeling a little better about it. I love both of them and the 11 is a great size to lounge about with although, I do have the mini 6 too so maybe the 13, the mini 6 and the MacBook Pro 16 will be “the team”… The OLED screens on both of them are just amazing though aren’t they?

      100% the 11” feels like the sweet spot, ONLY because Apple has not released the iPad mini 7. I’m going to pick up the 13” to be my heavy hitter. I do not have a Mac laptop, the 13” IPP M4 will more than do what I need. But when the iPad mini 7 releases I will pick that up as well. If Apple was going to no longer make the mini, I would go 11” all day.
