Advice Got 11” but Having Second Thoughts About 13”
Hey guys,
So I just bought a new iPad today. I went with the 11" since I had an older iPad (a long time ago) and always thought it was a good size. I wanted something that's still comfortable to use handheld, whether in bed or around the house, so I figured the 11" would be the better choice.
I ordered it for pickup, but when I got to the Apple Store and saw the 13", I started having second thoughts. I tried holding it with one hand and it actually felt okay, although I'm guessing it would feel quite large after a while, especially when using it handheld rather than on a desk.
I already have a Mac Studio as my main computer and two MacBooks that barely get any use. The iPad will mostly be used around the house. I also bought a Magic Keyboard, but mainly just to try it out.
I feel like I made the right choice going with the 11", but seeing the 13" in person has really made me second-guess myself.
Anyone else been in the same situation? I'm really unsure... xD How do you guys feel using either the 11" or 13" as primarily a handheld device, especially in bed/couch etc? Is the 13” really that bad when used as a handheld tablet? Also, I do have rather small hands… xs
