iPad Pro is too big. My friends who have it like it, but say it's not an iPad to be held. It's an iPad to use on your desk. One guy never never takes it out of his home. The other guy does, but he uses it for work to an extent.
If I were buying soon, I would wait until March 15 and then decide on either the iPad Air 3 or the iPad Air 2. I like the iPad Air size, and sometimes take mine with me when I leave the house. I like its portability. The portability of the mini series is even better, but I don't like using the minis anywhere near as much. Too small. For me I either use my phone, or jump to the iPad Air 2.
YMMV.
I have a neoprene padded case. Either I just carry it, or if I have a bag or briefcase, I stick it (iPad + case) inside that.
They don't have the same price, so it's not a fair comparison. If money was no object, the Pro obviously. The Air for me is already beyond comfort for a hand held device, so between both of them as bed/couch or table top choices, I'd choose the Pro. If hand held was a requirement, the Mini all the way. The Air really has no relevance to me, besides that I can appreciate it has a space in the line up because not everyone wants to pay $800 + for a tablet.
If I wanted an iPad Pro, I'd buy one, but I don't want one. Everyone's preferences are different, but I find the Air 2 fairly easy to hand hold. The Pro, not so much.They don't have the same price, so it's not a fair comparison. If money was no object, the Pro obviously.

To me, the comparison of the Surface 3 is vs. a regular laptop. It's not as lean as an iPad, so the usage is somewhat different.One last question for now do you think the Surface 3 is worth it ? Not the Pro.
The only thing I hate about it is the eMMC slow hard drive it has.
My sister puts her 11" MacBook Air in her purse.While it is truly a YMMV thing, I still find the Air too big to carry around while mobile. Especially once you put a case on it. I'm not saying you can't easily hand hold it, sure you can, when you're at home, sitting somewhere, or anywhere else you have leisure time. I'm saying when you're out and about, getting in and out of the subway or bus, carrying other things, or taking it in and out of your bag. Just ask your wife if she would rather carry an Air or a Mini in her purse every day, and you'll have my POV.

I just got a pro with cellular and the admittedly overpriced keyboard cover and Apple silicone case. I'm thrilled with it so far. I commute on the train everyday for almost 2 hours round trip so it's great to read the paper on half the screen with my twitter feed on the other half. I consider it a lightweight laptop with a cellular internet connection and a fantastic screen.
It's definitely not portable like a typical tablet is though.
How much space does it have? Curious. Also what case did you get ?
Space? You mean storage? The cellular only comes in 128MB.

GB. 128GB.
At least they didn't say 'memory' and mean 'storage'.

Just wait 3 weeks for the announcement and then decide.
