The new $599 9.7-inch iPad Pro feels a lot more comfortable to use than the original 12.9-inch iPad Pro that came out last fall. It’s also lighter, and less expensive.
The first one was impressive, but it didn’t run full OS X at a price and size that it could have and arguably should have. The new version, by contrast, feels like the best possible iPad, not a device so big that it can’t really be called just an iPad anymore.
