Hey everyone

Work is providing me with an iPad loaded with our company software so I don't have to always get my huge laptop out for sales numbers, etc

They said to pick out what size I want and let them know

Never have had one, so asking which you think is best for that type of use? The mini or regular size?

FYI I'm normal size with normal size fingers and good vision.

don't get a mini if this is for work.. screen is too small.

i would get the 9.7 or the 12

go to best buy and physically hold them before you make a call of what internet people think

As others have said, if it's for work and free, get the largest one available. And use it as a laptop replacement.

Extra work space is one thing to never sell yourself short on in my opinion.

I felt like the 12 was too big to be really portable. I use a 9.7 pro with keyboard and pen. If need something bigger I take my Lenovo X1 carbon which is 12 inch and about 2.5lb.

I have the normal size one (~10") for work and it does everything I need to do. I have decent vision and have normal size hands. I would suggest one of those cases that opens out, turns sideways and prop's on an angle. No need for a big otter box case unless your a superintendent on a construction/job site I figure.

I held the larger one the other day. It is entirely too big for my taste. G'luck.

Me and my wife have the 10, If someone else was paying for it I would definitely get the 12 but I have no complaints with mine.

IDK why anyone would get a Mini....It is basically a phone.

Not to highjack, but…

Trying to decide between the iPad Air 2 or iPad Pro (both 9.7).

The Air 2 can be had sub $400 vs the Pro around $500. Worth the extra $100?

I dont need anything with a lot of processing power, just something more portable than my laptop and bag when traveling for meetings, emails, and web.

ETA: The integrated Smart Keyboard for the Pro is appealing but not sure how much better it is than aftermarket offerings for the Air. Anyone have experience here?
