[QUOTE="TattooedMac, post: 1502073, member: 101749"] Something for you to think about Kev mate, i found with this iPad Mini is the keyboard if you find it hard to reach the middle of it with your fingers, it gives you the option to "[I]split[/I]" it up so you have the keyboard shrinks just a little bit and splits it into 2 at the T,G,V ~ Y,H,B line in the keyboard. Not too sure if the iPad has this feature or not. It looks mighty cool and it is soooo much easier to type. I was finding myself going into Portrait Mode quite a bit to type after i got the OtterBox Defender Case for it. With the Defender it has the protective outer screen protector and with my own matt screen protector i was having to put more pressure on the keyboard keys to get the touch response. By no means was/is this a annoying thing, as its only slightly more pressure, but because of that portrait was easier to type in, until i discovered the split keyboard thing lol Now i stay in Landscape and type now without any problems what so ever and it is still a joy to use. Im finding my MBP is hardly getting used anymore, but if i do need to use it, i have a App called Air Display where i can either Mirror my MBP screen OR use my Mini as a added screen to my MBP. Iuse the 2nd screen a bit now so when im flying in Xplane 10, HDMI onto my 47inch i can use the Air Display as a 2nd screen for all my controls and because its by touch, it makes flying or playing the Sim so much more enjoyable, instead of trying to [I]mouse[/I] over things :) Anyways i just thought i might add this as to help in your decision to get the Mini instead of the 9.7" iPad :) [IMG]http://img442.imageshack.us/img442/2783/1363142346442.jpg[/IMG] Just for clarification I have my own matt screen protector on underneath, even though OtterBox advise against it because I take it out when I'm not using it out in the wild and use my leather one in the images above. There is no difference in the touch pressure and just in case a grain of dust/sand gets in there then it scratches my screen protector not my screen. [/QUOTE]
