How Tech Influencers Are Ruining the iPad Experience for Actual Users
I actually disagree with a lot of this. (Although I understand your points) I agree the influencer community seems to be a big factor in apples updates at the moment. But from an iPad usability point of view I’ve owned a functional usable iPad ever since the iPad 2 upgrading every circa 2-3 years an

Last day as a Ps4 player
Can confirm here. I play Genshin usually on the PC but I've been busy outside more often so I just play on the iPad Air M1. Its still handling this game pretty nicely without much hiccups/frame drop (I'm not an Apple fan, but holy fuck Apple M chips are insanely well-designed and beefy for mobile st

Is the 5th Gen iPad Air (M1) still powerful enough today?
Is the 5th Gen iPad Air (M1) still powerful enough today? Yes it is I found a used 64GB iPad Air 5 (M1) for the same price as a brand-new, sealed 128GB iPad 11 (A16). Do you think it's worth the trade-off? Do not get a 64 GB iPad in 2026

Don’t update any iPad with 64 gb or less, or an A14 or below to ipadOS 26!!
I have an iPad Air m1 with 64gb and it’s completely working fine. No lags or issues that’s bothering me

ipad M5 vs M2 cpu difference
I've been fooled by this, and it won't happen again. It's an iPad unless you use Final Cut Pro on iPad to quickly process video in the airplane or during your trip, even an M1 iPad Pro is more than enough to fulfill 99% of your needs. If you want an iPad get the latest with an M chip (if you can aff

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

Suche Tablett/2 in 1 für's Studium
iPad Air M1 reicht komplett aus. Kostet etwa 400€ müsstest dann etwas mehr ausgeben für ein Pencil und wirst glücklich.

What are the best iPads widely used by students right now?
Get the iPad Air, either current gen or previous gen. Most people do the standard smaller size, but you could consider doing the bigger one if you want. If you choose to go older to save money, just make sure whichever iPad Air you get is M1 or newer, then it’ll have plenty of power for notes.

Which is better for me, an A16 or an Air M1?
The M1 iPad is obviously more powerful than the a16 iPad. However if you’re buying 2nd hand, the battery health might not be in the best condition. And you’ll have to make sure you buy the 256gb iPad, because 64gb won’t be enough. If you find one in good condition for a good price, go for it. The a1
