I think it should last another 5 years with no issues. Unfortunately, the battery won't. M1 had terrible battery efficiency, so if you buy a used one, you'll probably need a new battery pretty soon. If you manage to find an unused one, it'll probably last but battery life does suck on it. My A14 iPa

IPad Air is never getting oled screen, you have a choice between oled in pro or 60hz in iPad Air , the difference is in £€$ hard cash . M5 iPad Pro & m4 iPad Air both have 12GB it’s a simple choice to pay a lot more for premium oled screen or ipad Air IPad Air is mid price because it doesn’t have ol

I’m having absolutely no issues on my M1 iPad Air. Although i do have less storage at 64GB so maybe it’s somehow related that the amount of apps you have affects it?

I think the big thing you wanna think about is longevity, better chip will get you more years out of it. A16 is an aging chip and doesn’t even support Apple Intelligence. A mini could be fine if you can find one at a decent price, but I wouldn’t do anything other than the A17 Pro. Hell even an M1 iP

Of course it’s worth it , my m1 iPad Air is on fire on ios26 , 1000% the best this device has ever been, still an overpowered beast of a device and ios26 could not have been any more perfect for my fairly basic everyday usage ,have used developer beta since first AI previews dropped for usa only so

Of course the new iPad Air with the M4 will work better and be faster than the 5th gen Air M1. And it will have a lot longer lifespan. More powerful processor and 50% boost in RAM is why How much would you get for your 5th gen if you sold it on eBay? How much does a battery replacement cost? How man

Yes absolutely! The M1 iPads are still incredibly capable, you should be good for at least 3-4 years. I recommend however getting at least a higher storage of 256GB to future proof it, 64GB for the iPad Air 5 is limiting.

Für Goodnotes ist sogar das 6. gen iPad gut genug. Benutze es selber noch und solange man nicht andauernd zwischen Apps wechseln muss, gehts eigentlich voll klar. Aber ja ich stimme zu, das M1 iPad Air hat vermutlich die beste Preis/Leistung und wird noch ne ordentliche Weile halten

I’d go for the iPad Air 13” M3 256GB WiFi + Cellular ($750). It’s the newest/most future-proof with M3 chip, great for school apps, note-taking (full Apple Pencil Pro support), and multitasking with your 70GB+ stuff. Bigger screen than your current Air 5, 256GB solves storage, cellular adds flexibil
