[QUOTE="JJHLH, post: 253388, member: 6010"] I actually purchased the iPad Pro 12.9 specifically to play Pinball Arcade. It was awesome to play on since the screen is huge and you are immersed in the game. It also has 4 stereo speakers which sound very good. Unfortunately I ran into a problem with it. Often times when I was in the middle of a game it would freeze up and the "resume in 3, 2, 1" countdown would come up. It seemed to occur when the game was very active, such as with multiball, when I was pressing the screen repeatedly and quickly. It was as if the iPad became overwhelmed and couldn't handle all the info. This bug happened only intermittently but affected the flow and enjoyment of the game. I think other people ran into the same issue. This apparently only occurs with the 12.9 iPad Pro. The larger iPad is somewhat heavy but I didn't find that to be troublesome as I usually laid it in my lap or across my legs while sitting on a chair. I also have the 9.7 iPad Pro which I use all the time for TPA now and that bug has never occurred once on it. It is excellent for TPA and my preferred way to play currently. If you want to risk buying the 12.9 model you may want to consider purchasing it directly from Apple. I think you have a week or two to try it and if you don't like it you can return it at no charge, if they still do that. I wouldn't purchase a PS4. The iPad is better in my opinion. Using your thumbs to touch the screen instead of a controller to activate the flippers feels more like pinball. Finally the rumor is that Apple will be releasing new iPad models in March, including an iPad Pro 2. Possibly with an OLED screen, and maybe a 10.5 inch model with no bezel. Either one of the new models or the current 9.7 iPad Pro (which is terrific) would be my recommendation. You will notice a big difference compared to playing on the iPad mini! [/QUOTE]
