Had the 12.9 m2 and it was amazing but just so large it felt uncomfortable to hold at times. Returned it and went with the smaller 11” m2 model. No regrets. But if you’re after the biggest screen possible, 12.9 is a no brainer for sure. Watch some YT comparisons if you’re unsure. Screen size and screen brightness are the biggest differences in my opinion. The 12.9 actually has some text blooming issues where you can visibly see the area around bright text has a white blow (blooming), which may bother some, however the 11” model doesn’t suffer from this due to the lack of HDR and less bits (different LCD used).
Otherwise, everything else is awesome! Great battery life, rock solid performance save for a few minor bugs in iPadOS currently. CPU/GPU Performance between the 12.9 and 11 is identical, so size is literally the main diff.
Overall, highly recommend! Love it!

Perfect!
I didn't like the case very much because it doesn't rotate into portrait mode. Other than that, I loved everything

The perfect IPad from DataVison Computer Video
Reviewed in the United States on February 15, 2024
I purchased this IPad being speculative. The IPad arrived perfect, on time and very fast. The box was in perfect condition. Upon opening, everything was intact as it should be. I immediately charged to a full battery and then proceeded to update and input all information needed to operate. The IPad is perfect, no complaints. I highly recommend DataVision Computer Video.
