iPad A16 (Brand New) or iPad Air M4 (Used - Like New)
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

iPad (A16) or iPad Air (M4) for my use case
I mean personally I don’t use Apple Intelligence, I don’t even have it activated on my 17 pro or m4 iPad Air. You can always use like chat gpt or whatever for that. I think a16 should be fine, one thing is like it might slow down faster than the m4 cuz of the chip in a couple years but it shouldn’t

budget of 900 dollars
If by brand new you mean the latest, then just get the Air, because the Pro is over $1k, way over your budget. An iPad Air is still a great experience to write with. That iPad should last you 4 to 7 years because of the overkill laptop level M-chip. Anything M2 and above should last you 5 years or m

I am buying my second iPad?
Honestly for your use case, I’d probably go with the iPad Air M4 and spend the saved money on storage/accessories instead. For architectural drawing and large files, the M4 Air is already extremely powerful, and the extra RAM on the higher storage configs will help more long-term than chasing the “P

Weekly 'What should I buy?' Thread
I’m still using my 2020 11“ iPad Pro (A12Z) purely for note-taking in GoodNotes. Overall it still works perfectly fine, but it’s showing its age in a few annoying ways: - Gets noticeably hot due to poor Goodnotes 6 optimization. - Thermal throttles, pauses charging, dims display etc during note taki

Battery and storage issues, should I fix iPad or buy a new one?
Hey there. Procreate has a tendercy to use a lot of storage. And apple has plague ipad with 128gb or lower storage with loads of system memory. A lot of us would suggest you get a storage of 256gb and above, and if you really want to use the ipad for longer, i would suggest go for 512gb instead As f

Art IPad Advice
I'd go with the M3 iPad Air. It's practically identical to the new M4 iPad Air(just with slightly less ram). And it will be supported longer than the M1 iPad Pro. The M3 iPad Air also supports the Apple Pencil Pro which the M1 iPad Pro does not. The Apple Pencil Pro has some nice features like a squ

Is the iPad Air 4th gen a good choice for drawing?
Also if you’re looking to spend about €570 & you’re a student can you wait until next month/July (also if you can stretch to up to €740 depending on which part of Europe you’re from ), can’t you get the m4 iPad Air 256GB , 12GB RAM & then get a free Apple Pencil Pro from the Apple Store Then you can

Should I buy the iPad Air M4 Cellular or Samsung Galaxy Tab S11 Cellular?
Both are good tablets. I'm currently using S11 Wifi. If you want something cheap but reliable, you should get S11. Stylus of S11 is coming in the box. But if you buy iPad, you need to buy Pencil separately. Apple using Desktop grade processor in the iPad Air. S11 uses the Mediatek Dimensity 9400+ wh
