I've just bought a 9.7 pro with the Logitech backlit keyboard and the pencil. As an upgrade from an Air it is significantly better.
Do you mean the keyboard that covers the back of the iPad too?
I had one of those, but took it off after it marked the iPad screen...the aluminium keyboard has basically rubbed and permanently marked the glass.
I now have the Apple Keyboard which is smaller and lighter.
What app are we all using for taking notes?
I'm a Notability fan. I haven't used Penultimate, so can't compare, but I like Notability because it's really easy to combine sketching/writing with typing, and you can add photos and record audio (which is synced to your notes) too.
Also, I have it installed on my ipad, iphone and MacBook, and notes automatically sync across devices which is very useful at work - makes it easy to work from notes and copy/paste from or into them at will.
I'll investigate Penultimate though…
Edit: oh, Penultimate is Evernote-related, is it?. I always find Evernote too complicated. All the things you can do with it seem to conspire against me ever actually using it for anything. Whereas, Notability, I just open, use, and close again, happy.
… also, on the big or small question …
A useful feature of iOS is split-screen. With the bigger pad, you get 2 useful read/work areas in split-screen mode, whereas, with the smaller pad, I imagine that each work area is quite small.
Depends how you want to use it. But I like it big.
I'm just about to download Scrivener, too.
Because I have the desktop version, and it is 100,000 times better than Word.
Edit: … or more.
