I ' ve had the 9 . 7 Pro since it was released and i too was wondering for a long time what it would be like to have the larger ipad pro , so a few weeks ago i bought a refurbished unit from apple . I quickly found that i wasn ' t using it as much due to it ' s heavier weight which i felt really guilty about given its price . It felt awkward to carry around comfortably like i could the smaller pro . The larger screen was amazing to have and using split screen on it was awesome but i found that after i ' d put a decent case on the tablet it weighed over 1 kg , which really bugged me . Reluctantly i decided to return it in the 14 day period for a refund and i ' m using the 9 . 7 pro again . If the larger ipad pro is refreshed next year that isn ' t as heavy i ' d definitely consider buying it .
