Litigators who use an iPad for work stuff—do you recommend getting the Pro or will the Air suffice?

Depends on how you plan to use it. Will the iPad operate as a type of backup/chromebook for your regular computer when it’s not available? Or is it for limited usage like reviewing legal docs, virtual meetings, faxing, texting, legal research, etc.?

Can you elaborate?

I use my iPad Pro to take notes during depositions

Pro

Can you elaborate?

I have the air and find it is perfectly sufficient. I didn’t feel like the extra money was necessary. I use mine extensively to email (the Magic Keyboard is a must) and then use OneNote for all my case management. I also use OneNote to mark up documents. Recently used it in a federal jury trial as a trial notebook without issue.

My husband is also a lawyer and he opted for the Pro and paid extra for the better screen because he thought the way it felt to write was more akin to paper. I think the Air is perfectly fine to hand write (but I will agree his does feel smoother and more natural). For me though, the price difference wasn’t worth it.

Get the AirPad Pro 77
