Asus Co-CEO: MacBook Neo Is a 'Shock' to the PC Industry
Yup, that's how I got roped into the Apple ecosystem. I was a die hard Linux user for so many years, I loved hacking and ricing, and hated Apple's walled garden. Then I got the cheap $250 iPad for note-taking in college, and thought it was really nice, so I also bought an iPhone for my next phone a

Is the iPad Air (M3) that much better than the iPad A16?
iPad Air has M processor, 8GB RAM, Apple Pencil 2 support, laminated display with better colour support and anti-reflective coating, and the ability to use Apple Stage Manager on an external display. Even a refurbished M1 iPad Air (direct from Apple online store) is better than the recent base iPad.

Need advice! Should I get a iPad for drawing? If so which one?
I would say either an iPad with at least 256GB of storage, usb c port & support for either Apple Pencil 2 or Apple Pencil Pro So I would suggest either iPad Air (5th (M1), 6th (M2), 7th (m3) & 8th (m4)) or an iPad Pro (5th (M1), 6th (m2), 7th (M4) & 8th (M5)) I would strongly recommend m4 iPad Pro w

IPAD OR TABLET
i've owned both android tablets and ipads for long term use. the xiaomi screen is gorgeous but ipados will feel way more consistent 3 years from now. gaming on ipad is smoother because devs optimize for apple silicon first - mlbb runs great. for studying, notability and goodnotes on ipad are miles a

Should I buy ipadA16?
Buy it. It's good especially on sale. New one even if it comes out this year will be at full msrp for a while which will be more expensive. If you were gonna buy the new one at full marp, you might as well go get an iPad Air M2 or M3 now which is usually around $400 and will still be better than the

ipad switch?? help!
Unfortunately Apple no longer offers anything between the 11inch and the Mini. I think that for note taking, you’ll appreciate the 11inch size, because while it’s not as portable as the mini, it’s a great size to jot down notes and get school work done. If you can I’d recommend checking them out in

Which gen is the oldest you’d purchase? (for a teen)
Get the 10th gen or the iPad Air 4. Both are great devices, the Air 4 is slightly better for drawing though. If you could afford it, the iPad Air 5 is the best option, it has the M1 processor which is very powerful and will handle everything. I am using it right now.

Which Ipad would suit me the best?
An iPad Air 5th Gen 5 (M1) used seems like a good fit for you. The M1 would make video editing faster, and it has the Apple Pencil 2, without being as expensive as a iPad Pro. Base iPads require plugging in the Pencil 1 to the Lightning port. The iPad Air also has USB C (older base iPads don't).

M5 iPad Pro is so nice
I just got mine today, 11 inch IPad Pro M5 with Cellular, I’m quite pleased with it, the screen is so nice! I was coming from an M1 iPad Air and this iPad Pro is thinner than my old air yet so much more powerful, it’s awesome. I spent a while agonising though between getting a new iPad or getting th

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
