Am thinking of buying an iPadPro. I have questions...

Currently we have an iPadAir and I find the screen too small. I like that there are apps on the Pro.
Do you have to pay for the Apps monthly????? It shows AutoCad....is that one you have to have a subscription to?
I don't fancy having a machine that i have to pay on monthly. We already have a huge iMac and a smaller screened MacBookAir and of the course the iPadAir.
What might be the advantages of the iPadPro over the Air...isn't it are like a computer? Split screen? I know you can scan documents!
And is it worth trying to sell my iPadAir? Or not and just hang onto it. I don't need that many devices really but the Pro is sort of pricey.Thanks!

The more sensitive screen that allows you to draw with a small pointed "pencil." I would love that, but I'm not willing to spend the extra bucks to get it.

I don't know about subscription apps. But I don't like the idea either. I'm trying to get away from Adobe products on my big machine for that very reason. I suspect there will be alternatives available. You could go to the App Store and check it out even without having a pro.

I currently have an Air2 in addition to my Mac Mini and big screen for the real work.

They seem to be more into hiding info these days. Or I could call them. Was hoping someone has had experience with the gizmo though.
