iPad A16 (Brand New) or iPad Air M4 (Used - Like New)

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

iPad (A16) or iPad Air (M4) for my use case

I mean personally I don’t use Apple Intelligence, I don’t even have it activated on my 17 pro or m4 iPad Air. You can always use like chat gpt or whatever for that. I think a16 should be fine, one thing is like it might slow down faster than the m4 cuz of the chip in a couple years but it shouldn’t

budget of 900 dollars

If by brand new you mean the latest, then just get the Air, because the Pro is over $1k, way over your budget. An iPad Air is still a great experience to write with. That iPad should last you 4 to 7 years because of the overkill laptop level M-chip. Anything M2 and above should last you 5 years or m

Should I buy the iPad Air M4 Cellular or Samsung Galaxy Tab S11 Cellular?

Both are good tablets. I'm currently using S11 Wifi. If you want something cheap but reliable, you should get S11. Stylus of S11 is coming in the box. But if you buy iPad, you need to buy Pencil separately. Apple using Desktop grade processor in the iPad Air. S11 uses the Mediatek Dimensity 9400+ wh

Should I buy the iPad Air M4 Cellular or Samsung Galaxy Tab S11 Cellular?

I have an S10 plus for two years now and an iPad Air M3 for less than 6 months now. Speed wise? No noticeable difference. Both snappy. I also have an iPad Air 4 (A14 chip) that is nearly five years old. Still fast but not as fast as the newer iPad Air M3. I'm sure that either the S11 or iPad M4 will

Should I splurge?

kinda sounds like you already convinced yourself. for $30 more the M4 Air is a no-brainer - better screen, faster chip, and that extra year or two of updates. your mini 6 still has trade value too. the pencil pro is worth it if you draw or take notes. iPad Air M4 will last you 5+ years easy. Apple P

Suggest me an iPad ONLY for notes related multitasking. I dont want to overspend.

The Apple refurb store currently has two 5th Gen M1 iPad Air models, 10.9”, 256GB, WiFi + Cellular for $489 if you don’t mind pink or purple. BUT - that refurb price is terribly close to a new M4 iPad Air, 11”, WiFi only, 128 GB for $549 if you make an EDU purchase as a student.

iPad 11th Gen or Android Tablet (asking for Artist review)

I think iPad in general is built for artwork and sketching. 11th gen is alright if you still studying, it's a good all-around device. If you pair it with Apple Pencil USB-C, you'll be fine. Procreate works alright in iPad A16. If you're putting a lot of effort in what you do, you'll definitely get y
