Found a Magic Keyboard for $4 at the thrift store today

Awesome find! Honestly, even in that condition (albeit functioning), I'd be very happy with that, especially at that price. I frequent my local thrift stores also and usually have my eye out for stuff like this for my ipad air m3. I found an apple smart keyboard folio in great condition for a bit mo

I sincerely believe the iPad Air never makes sense. Budget: Base iPad. Pro: iPad Pro. What do you think?

Switched from a base iPad to an iPad Air M3 13" and it's been night and day. The Pro is overpriced to me. Got the Pro feels and power for cheaper.

This game glitched out and started giving me thousands of tickets instead of the 500. A bystander Karen came over had a worker disable the machine because I was "winning too many tickets"

D&B still has good prizes. I got a 128gb iPad Air M3 there last year for 180k tickets. Spent less than the cost of the iPad, plus I got a couple hundred dollars in free food from the rewards program while earning the tickets.

Is it worth getting the Magic Keyboard for an 11" iPad Air M3?

ESR so some really good alternatives. And a third of the price. Or Logitech Combo Touch iPad Air 11-inch (M2 & M3)(2024 & 2025) Keyboard Case (for Amazon search) is also good if you like Surface Pro style.

Should I sell my iPad air M3 (256GB) to buy the M4 (256GB)? (that mean I have to sell my apple pencil pro to get the new M4 with no pencil)

Unless you’re making the jump to the iPad Pro I would keep onto the M3 Air. The M4 is an upgrade but not big enough to lose money again so quickly.

Is there any reason to get an iPad m4 air instead of the cheaper iPad m3 air?

Unless the price difference is small, I’d just get the older iPad Air M3. The newer iPad Air M4 is a bit faster, but for normal stuff like browsing, notes, streaming, or light work, you probably won’t notice the difference.

iPad voor studie

Je zult een hoop moeten typen, dus toetsenbord is wel een must. De iPads hebben de optie, maar qua prijs zit je dan voor de M3 al gauw een aan MacBook NEO. Als de Surface nog een paar jaar mee kan, zit je met de iPad 11 helemaal prima. Mocht die Surface het niet nog 4 jaar uit kunnen houden, dan zou

guess im an iPad kid now

I just redeemed 180k tickets from Dave and Busters for a iPad 11 Air M3. I could have bought it for less than I spent at D&B, but I had fun doing it.

Which iPad currently offers the best combo of affordability and anticipated longevity?

The answer to your question is iPad Air M3 11 inch $449 on sale right now. M3 chip will likely last longer than A16 or A17. All iPads have at least 5 years of software support from the time of release so if $449 is too much for you, the base iPad at $274 right now will get you to 2030. I won’t say “

Need help deciding iPad

Based from your needs it looks like all of those can be handled by the iPad A16-11. But looks like you’re really eyeing out on the pro model. Another suggestion is to just go in the middle which is the iPad air. You don’t even have to go for the M4, the ipad air M3 is enough for the needs you mentio
