Ok, I've made a search but have not found many comments. For over a good year now I use a 4th Gen as an electronics repair tech with all the service manuals and tech data I need at my finger tips. I constantly find the unit is HEAVY lump after a few hours and should I put it down someplace its mass can too easily push something off my crowded workbench!
My thought is to move to an Air 2 which is sure lighter but I'd love to hear about increase screen display updates say during .pdf manipulation of pinch/zoom etc thanks to the A8x CPU... Has anyone upgraded from the big screen 4th Gen to the smaller 9.7" screen and was it a big deal with a smaller screen?
I am of course aware of the "Larger Screen" iPad (on hold I hear) which would be absolutely brilliant for viewing wiring diagrams. However I think of same issue of typical busy repair bench and finding a safe space to park it for a minute as I do a test etc without having the same problems I currently have with the 4th Gen.... That's the biggest thing I like with the Air 2, it's low mass and compactness...
Any input appreciated folks....
