iPad for reading diligence materials on the buyside

Hi all,

Any recommendations in terms of which iPad and accessories are best for reading diligence materials, filings and in general use working on the buyside?

Regardless of level the job involves several hours per week or pure reading so figured it would be a good investment to be able to do that from the sofa or outside.

Currently looking at iPad Pro 11” or 12.9” but not really decided. This would be mainly used for work and perhaps some Netflix or personal email/browsing (which is minimal these days given how busy work is).

Leaning towards an 12.9” iPad Pro (with pencil to highlight and no idea which case yet) as I’d like to read/review memos/presentations, but can’t go to an Apple store to try it out.

Thanks!

my vp at a MM PE fund (i don't know why this is relevant but wtv) i was interning at got the massive one with the pencil

looks pretty good especially for meetings / calls so you don't need to have a bunch of books / loose paper you have to flip through - but i wouldn't trust myself with an unprotected fragile piece of glass that large and expensive lol
