For me, one of the worst things of the Pro is it's weight. Too heavy to handle by hand and/or support in my belly. |
While the iPad Pro is a very nice tablet, IMO it is not ideal device for casual reading, or for that matter, serious research while reading PDFs. To be comfortable, a person will have to support the iPad Pro on a desk in some sort of awkward cradle mount. At that point a good laptop will be the better option, especially if you are connecting a keyboard. It would be much easier for me to read large sized PDFs on my MacBook Pro and do whatever research I need to thereon rather than using the smaller screen iPad Pro with slower processor and clunky apps/file saving capability.
While the iPad Pro is probably a great device for finger and stylus input/navigation usage, if a person requires a keyboard much of the time then carrying the iPad Pro, a keyboard, and a cradle around is going to be very clunky and not nearly as easy as just carrying around a good laptop. I see the iPad Pro as being a truly great device for artwork, photography, and other endeavors that require or benefit from a lot of stylus usage. For text input or laptop replacement, not so much.
