    My favorite part was when she specifically stated she did not just like that the tablet has a bigger screen, and then proceeded to explain a whole list of features that only work because it’s a bigger screen lol

      As an aside, it reminds me of when I thought my Galaxy Note 2 had a massive display at 5.5 inches. Fast forward to 2023 and I’m kind of wishing my S23 Ultra were a bit larger despite measuring 6.8 inches diagonally.

        It’s the differences in the aspect ratio. You cannot compare screen sizes based on the diagonal alone when the aspect ratios are different. A 6.0" 20:9 screen is smaller than a 5.7" 16:9 screen. And in terms of width, the 6.5" 20:9 screen is also less wide than the 5.7" 16:9 screen, which can matter for certain things (like typing).

        Also what’s not helping is the curved screen, I find it takes another few mm off in terms of usable screen area, which makes a screen feel smaller than its stated dimensions.
