Air M4 100% Better in every way, aside from the price. Much faster, with more RAM, so will last far longer and can run the "AAA" games Apple is advertising if you want. Support for the better Apple Pencil Better (laminated) display Will likely support more features as the OS updates go on, whilst th

No, you can take notes perfectly well on an A16 iPad. I did for many years. Now I have the Air and realistically it's about the same. I never noticed the non-laminated screen unless I was specifically looking for the air gap. I did once. OK, it's there, no big deal. Same OS, same apps. Not worth the

I would go for the A16 iPad or a refurbished m1 or m2 iPad Air. The A16 isn’t a bad chip but getting into the M chips will let that iPad work flawlessly for a long time. Plus the airs have better compatibility with the Apple pencils I believe.

If you can stretch to £300 you can get the base model iPad for around that price often on sale, it’ll be called 2025 iPad, iPad A16 or iPad 11th gen. It wou

An iPad with Apple Pencil USB-C or Apple Pencil Pro The Apple Pencil Pro is so nice to use, with the pressure sensitivity. Also, iPad Air and Pro have laminated screens, so you don't hear a tapping sound when you use the apple pencil But I use an iPad A16 with Apple Pencil USB-C and it works just fi

If you don’t want to spend a whole lot, look into other options. Even the iPad A16 isn’t a good option due to its compatible pencil. The cheapest that can be done for an iPad would be a used/refurbished m2 iPad Air with a pencil pro. If you want more detailed information, feel free to DM me and I ca
