The other side of the coin is that the 10" device is much more portable. When I travel, I take my 9.7" iPad with me, not the bigger one. A difference of 3" in screen size may not sound like much, but it's more than it may sound when it comes to portability.

I'd say this would be an excellent device if you want something reasonably portable, but if you'll primarily be using it in one place, I'd get a 13" device instead.
Is there also an appreciable difference in weight between the 9.7" and 10" devices HarryT? Or is it more just a matter of fitting in whatever you carry the device in?
