Weekly 'What should I buy?' Thread

I have the 2017 versions of both the 12.9 and 10.5, so not exactly the same, but still a decent rough estimate for what you’re asking.

For both of those tasks I vastly prefer the 10.5. For up close and personal use on the bed the 12.9 is just way too obnoxiously big for me, also one-handing the 12.9 is way more awkward. Between the two I use the 10.5 95% of the time and really only use the 12.9 when I’m going in full desktop mode or when I’m using it to read sheet music at gigs.

This is just my personal opinion, a lot of people seem to like the 12.9 for regular use. For me it feels like a cookie sheet though and even after 4 years I never quite got used to it.
