Some of you might have seen in Random Irritations that my laptop failed it’s bounce test. My laptop beats my current iPad Pro on screen size, 9.5” to 14”. Obviously the laptop orientation is always landscape.

My first thought was to get the laptop repaired..... Mmm, 2 weeks without the laptop... ok, I’ve got the iPad to fall back till it’s repaired. 24 hours in and the lack of a decent screen size etc is driving me nuts, especially as I’m now using the iPad in landscape and losing half the screen to the keyboard.

Next thought was to buy a new laptop tomorrow, get the old one repaired and sell it. Second hand prices here in Spain on most things are excellent. Argh! Spain doesn’t do qwerty keyboards.

The plan, and the question to those with bigger iPads; does the 12.9” iPad Pro work comfortably for you, especially in landscape? I’ll get a keyboard for it from the U.K.
 
Use the iPad to look up videos showing how to replace the laptop screen.

I, err, "accidentally" once broke a laptop screen. Dead easy to buy a new screen & fit it yourself. No technical knowledge required.

On other hand, you might decide you want a newer, faster laptop?
