The large 12.9-inch iPad Pro (4th generation) weighs just under 1.41 pounds and is just under a quarter-inch thick. The iPad Air (4th generation) is 9.74 inches by 7 inches, small enough to slip into many handbags. The iPad mini (5th generation) is even smaller, weighing less than half the weight of its big brother, measuring just 8 inches by 5.3 inches.
The portability of the iPad doesn’t start when you leave the house. The ease with which you can use it on the couch or in bed means you’ll never want to lug around a full-size laptop again.
The iPad comes with apps that can handle many routine tasks. These include a web browser, email client, calendar, alarm clock, maps suite, notepad, videoconferencing app, and contacts list. It also includes tablet-specific apps, such as a camera, photos app, video library, and a music player app.
