iPad (11-inch, 2024)

I work for a very large F500 manufacturer. We had been putting $1800 per unit Touch Windows devices into some of our plants for our line managers to use as their "mobile computer". They were just not durable enough to withstand the harsh conditions of the plants. Endless breakage. We're about to sta

Air M4 100% Better in every way, aside from the price. Much faster, with more RAM, so will last far longer and can run the "AAA" games Apple is advertising if you want. Support for the better Apple Pencil Better (laminated) display Will likely support more features as the OS updates go on, whilst th

If you care about the warranty and new battery then the iPad A16, otherwise the iPad Air is a good deal with those risks

I would go for the A16 iPad or a refurbished m1 or m2 iPad Air. The A16 isn’t a bad chip but getting into the M chips will let that iPad work flawlessly for a long time. Plus the airs have better compatibility with the Apple pencils I believe.

You would be fine with the current A16 iPad, which you can find for around $300 if you shop around. It may be even less expensive after they announce the new iPads in October. This will get you through dental school. If you buy an older iPad it won’t make it 6 years. Battery life deteriorates over t

That’s amazing. A16 really an underrated gem. I find the M chip is just a marketing spoof. If anything just overheats my iPad. Can hear the fans going off when it’s quiet. My Battery life already at 91 at 210 cycles. I’m worried about the longevity, which sucks because I always thought M2 would last

A lot of people say it’s bad but i think it’s pretty good. A16 is faster than a lot of quad core intel CPUs (at least the 10th gen ones, that are still widely used) and those CPUs are made to handle heavier OSes like Windows. iPadOS is fairly lightweight too, and the 6GB of ram will be more than suf

In the past 3 months I bought an iPad a16 to upgrade from an 8 years old 5th gen and a Neo to retire my old MacBook Pro from 2016. Use them both, love them both. Neo wasn't planned, for my needs old Pro despite its 10 years worked still fine but as soon as I laid my eyes on the indigo Neo it was lov

Get whatever base iPad you can get with 128 GB. The newer the better. There maybe old refurbished iPad Airs but unlikely at 128 GB. The OS and system data themselves take 30 odd GB so I think 128 is the minimum to be future proof. My honest suggestion? Get the new iPad A16. It maybe a bit over your

Firstly I would avoid 64GB models and aim for at least 128 as you will find storage an issue. You’ll loose 30GB easy to iPadOS and system data. If you can stretch to £300 you can get the base model iPad for around that price often on sale, it’ll be called 2025 iPad, iPad A16 or iPad 11th gen. It wou
