iPad Air worth it?
combination of laptop/MacBook and iPad is a game changer. I would suggest you go for a used iPad Pro for less. For what you want to do you don't need an Apple Pencil Pro and an iPad Pro 2022 or 2024 would be completely enough for you. Or even the iPad Air 2024 with the Pencil 2 would be enough for y

ipad switch?? help!
Have you looked into the new 11inch sized iPads? The iPad A16 (11th gen) is all most people need, but if you want to use an Apple Pencil that is on par (and now a bit better) than the mini, faster USB-C port, M4 chip, and that same great 11inch screen, then I'd go for that. If the price is a bit hig

iPad Air vs iPad Pro
For med school purposes (note-taking, PDF and PowerPoints), any iPad (base, mini, Air or Pro) would do. The main differences are in screen quality, screen size, chip, RAM and storage but unless you’re planning on playing video games and editing 4K videos, you wouldn’t feel much difference. It’s the

People who have an iPhone and a MacBook, what do you use your iPad for?
You don't need the iPad Pro unless you want it strictly for screen size as a second screen, and there are a LOT cheaper ways to get a 2nd screen for the MacBook Air. I've got an M5 MacBook Air and an M3 iPad Air. The iPad is a media consumption device and I occasionally draw with the Apple Pencil. I

What ipad to buy in 2026
i ran into this last year with an aging ipad. for college notes and drawing with a tight budget, the new iPad Air 13-inch (M3) is your best bet. it handles procreate and multitasking smoothly and fits under 850e. pair it with a usb-c apple pencil for drawing and you're set for years. repairs on a 7

Ipad pro i bought just 5 years ago is useless
i've been there and it’s super frustrating when a device that cost a lot feels outdated already. apple typically supports ipads for about 5-7 years, and the 2018 pro model you have is at that edge. some apps still let you download an older compatible version if you've purchased them before. for a ne

iPad suggestion for students IND?
Well there is no "best iPad for students" Price-performance wise, a refurbished iPad Pro 2022 probably is the best deal right now. If you insist on a new device, than the iPad Air 2025 does everything you need to do, an iPad Air 2024 is also a good choice. If you look for a cheap option than go with
