That's honestly hard to say.
I've seen it go both ways. You'd just have to find one you could try out.

Subject: Re: IPad: I am in blyss heaven with this thing!
What about the screen estate? What i mean is that if i have trouble swiping
and getting the gestures right on a normal iPad wouldn’t it be even harder on
the big one?

Guys,
I have always, as you all probably know, been incredibly happy with the
IPad lineup of Apple products. Coming from an IPhone, it definitely took a
little bit to get used to with the IPad having the split screen on certain
things. A great example of this is the native IPad Settings app.
Anyway, this month, I aquired a bit of extra money. I'm not gonna go into
how that happened, but we'll just say I got probably an extra 500 dollars from
what I'd normally have each month. For this reason, I decided to sell my IPad
Air first generation. No, I don't have Mark's permission to sell it here on
list, but realize that I'm not doing so anyway. The IPad's actually already
spoken for, so there should be no objections.
Anyway, with my extra money, plus, what I got from selling that IPad Air, I
went to the AT&T store with my grandmother, and one of my best friends, and we
all picked me up a bright shiny new 128GB IPad 12 inch Pro.
OK, before anyone says, Ewwww! You wanted a dinosaur that was that
freaking huge, realize something here. Firstly, I never clamed that the thing
was the easiest to hold in your hand. Yeah? I'll admit that holding the thing
is a little bit awquard. I'm not gonna deny that. But, here's the thing. I
dono how many of you all have heard the sound quality of the 12 inch Pro, but
let me tell you all something: this sucker is breathtaking! For one thing, I'm
not sure about the speakers on the first gen Airs, (not to be confused with the
Air 2's,) but I can tell you now beyond a doubt that the 12 inch Pro has at
least! stereo speakers. The separation is phenominal! It might even have
quadrofonic. I can't quite tell. I need to look up its specs.
If you like the volume you get from the IPad Air, or from the IPad Air 2,
for that mind, but you wish it had a bit more low end to it, like what you'd
get with a pair of external speakers, then the IPad 12 inch Pro is your answer.
Let me put it this way. I have quite a severe hearing loss. Even for me! I
can't turn this thing up all the way without blasting myself out. This thing
gets loud! And, I do mean, loud! If I had to compare, for those of you who've
heard the Logitech bluetooth U E mobile boombox, think the amount of base you
get from that speaker, then on top of that think the maximum volume you get
with the Air, or with the Air2. Now put those two together. That's basically
what you'd have on the Pro, provided that you had it turned about 3 notches
down from being full max volume. Suffice it to say, volume isn't an issue.
the other thing that blew me away is the battery in this thing! Guys, you
wouldn't believe this! I'm not one for making a product look better than it
really is. When I say something is a certain way, I don't exagerate things as
some people might do. Here are some literal stetistic numbers for ya.
I decided to benchmark my battery. I put my IPad on a police scanner feed
with Scanner Radio Deluxe from Gordon Edwards, and let it stream over my wifi.
I started the feed at 3:30PM on the dot, ironically enough. I let it go all
afternoon, and all night. I even let it stay going after I went to bed. I
just wanted to see what it would do. So, at 3:30PM, I had 31 percent battery.
Guys, I swear I'm not making this up! When I woke up the next morning right at
around 5:00AM, get a load a this! That battery was at 18% Literally It only
went down about 13%, and that was over 14 hours roughly, of constant internet
audio streaming.
I couldn't freaking believe it!
Suffice it to say, yeah, the Pro's are a bit pricy, and yeah, they may be
monster honkers as far as their physical dementional size, but I'm telling you
now: oh, my, Gawod! are they worth every penny! So, if you get an oppertunity
either to get one, or at least to see/play with one of your friend/relative;'s,
or in a store, do it! I'm so! not kidding you! Do it! You'll be blown away!
Chris.
