MacBook Air is not Small Enough?

IPadminikeyboard Medium. I recently found my 11” MacBook Air. I was impressed at how thin it was. It was fun to have a Mac in such a small package, but, after working with my Anker 7-in-1 USB dock/hub/dongle with my iPad mini, I’m not sure I would go back.

I have my favorite keyboard, which requires being connected via USB-C. I have power plugged into the USB-C PD port on the Anker (but my iPad says “not charging.”).

Most of the time, I use my iPad as a small tablet/reader. The mini size is perfect for me. Easy to carry. Most of time, I don’t need a keyboard. It’s either short texts that I type out on the on-screen keyboard or I use dictation.

Why would Apple release a 10.5" iPad?

I’m saving up for my next iPad. I’m 99% certain that I’m going to get a 9.7” Pro.

For the past year, I’ve been using an iPad mini 2, and I really like it. I could do a lot of my work on a mini. Before the mini, I had used a 9.7” for a couple years. It was indispensable for what I do (mainly tech support, photography).

When I first started using the mini, I wasn’t sure if it would work. I missed the real estate. My older eyes disliked the squinting.

But, now, about a year later, my 9.7” feels like a brick! (admittedly, my 9.7” is a 3rd gen, so it’s the 1st get Retina, and was just sluggish and heavy)

But, I’m thinking that my next will be a 9.7” Pro, because I want the speed and power of the pro line.

A 10.5” iPad, while bigger, might be a very appealing size. Two iPad mini’s? Yeah. I’d take that.
