No new ipad 12th gen.....

Apple has way too many iPad models. iPad Air should be the base iPad at $399. The lineup should be Air, Pro, Mini. I really enjoy my M1 Air but I waited until it dropped to $399. There’s no way I can justify getting it at $599, even the new M4 that just came out… the screen is my biggest gripe and t

MacBook Neo Charging Test: Here's Which Apple Charger is the Fastest

£618 includes VAT It's £515 not including VAT £515 converts to $687 which is $87 (14.5%) more than the US price of $599 Is that fair? Probably not. Buts the way it's always been Because retailers have to build in a margin for currency fluctuations, as they don't readjust their GBP price on a daily b

Wait or Hunt it

Honestly you might benefit more from a 12.9-inch M1 or M2 iPad Pro. You get a (still) stunning miniLED display, 120Hz, Face ID, and more performance than your use case would ever call for, all for around the same price as the new iPad Air.

I just bought the M5 MacBook Air and the iPad feels completely USELESS. Change my mind.

iPads are mostly used for note taking, sketching, media consumption and gaming. I bought a used iPad 9th gen less than a week ago cuz I wanted to sketch and also don't want to carry a ton of notebooks when I go to college. Main purpose is I always felt I needed a bigger screen but not a laptop which

Is the 5th Gen iPad Air (M1) still powerful enough today?

If your main priority is extended display support for studies (notes on iPad + lecture on external screen), both the Apple 11" iPad Wi‑Fi (A16) and the Apple 11" iPad Air Wi‑Fi + Cellular (M1) only mirror the display — they don’t offer a true extended desktop where you use the external screen as a s

I regret buying my iPad Pro

I disagree - iPad is a unique form factor, and I understand if it doesn’t work for everyone. You don’t have to bring it with you, choose the laptop or the tablet for the task. iPad pro’s promotion 120hz is important if you use Apple Pencil, and overall smoother especially if your other devices are 1

Gen 2 pencil compatibility....

Yes, that’s why I say my 64 gb iPad Air M1 cost $1000. I bought it with a Smart Keyboard Folio and pencil 2 which are essentially part of the iPad now.

How much better is the M series Air screen to the A16 iPad?

What do you need the power for? As an artist the only difference I’ve seen with my M1 iPad Air is that I can have a lot more layers in Procreate. The thing is, I never even maxed out the layers on my old iPad (a base 6th or 7th gen!) if I was buying one today I would really think a lot about my need

Should I get ipad 11 or Xiaomi Pad 7 or Xiaomi Pad 7 pro? I need one for studying I care about the screen time the most. Like I want to spend hours on that thing and still has like 50% or smthn like that. Also idc about pens or other accessories I just want it for lectures

iPad Air M1 and M4. They’re 99% the same device, just different camera location, more ram and storage and a faster CPU. The M1 still is fast enough after 3-4 years. The Pad 7 isn’t bad, especially since I bought it for €207 new on AliExpress, meanwhile both Airs cost me around €650 each. It’s fast e

Buying the iPad pro m5

For transparency sake, I didn't buy an M4 iPad Pro, my son did. He financed the 1 GB ver through Verizon. For 6 months he has hated it & most of the time he argued I needed to take it & use it as it wasn't worth what he paid. He just took it back from me & is going to use to use it I had an iPad Air
