M4 iPad Pro 11" review - i'm downsizing again.

iPadOS 18 is... definitely something. While Math Notes and Smart Script are lovely features... the operating system as a whole is unchanged. This is why this year, I am more keen on switching back to the smaller, M4 iPad Pro 11" model, specifically the base one since it is really all you need to have the best iPad experience as of 2024. So unless you have some really specific niche workflow which needs a bigger screen, more unified memory and or storage, this "cheap" $999 variant might be for you!
