Affordable Works with Apple Pencil Its educational ambitions are surestimées Incompatible Smart Keyboard Cover
This is a good Apple iPad for the average consumer and for education, although not the most powerful available. It is still a great value. That said, the new iPad 10.2 has beaten it for most users and has the advantage of still being sold directly by Apple, which this model is not.

The iPad (2018) replaces the very similar 2017 Model, falling under the Pro and Air lines with a reliable tablet that hasn't changed much in years - but Apple clearly thinks it he doesn 't need to spoil success.

The basic iPad works with Apple Pencil, giving you the cheapest way to doodle on the 9.7-inch glass - although you can't get the smart keyboard with it. this non-Pro model, for this you will need the newest 0.2 inch 1Un.

It also has the same luxurious metal monohull as the rest of the range.Apple iPad, although it is particularly slightly thicker than the iPad Air 2 or iPad Pro at 7.5mm.

Big and big tablet screen Incredible power Too expensive to replace some laptops
We really like the iPad Pro 12.9 (2017) for its large size and - apart from the newer model of the iPad Pro 12.9 - this is what comes closest to a 2-in-1 touchscreen MacBook . It turns out to be running iPadOS 13 instead of macOS.

This is one of the best productivity and entertainment tabletsely thanks to its 12.9-inch screen, its four speakers, its docking station and its multitasking interface. Apple has redesigned its Control Center interface to make switching apps even easier, and this tablet is compatible with Apple Pencil and Smart Keyboard.

Is this the biggest weakness? The price of the 12.9-inch iPad Pro, and the size is not suitable for everyone. But if you can afford it and want the biggest iPad available, you're going to love this - it's a laptop replacement for a lot of people out there.

Good display Sleek design Dated chipset No 3D Touch
Big screens are not for everyone, and this is where the The 7.9-inch iPad Mini 4 comes into play. The screen size means it's much more portable than Apple's larger tablets, especially since it's light in weight. 299g. It's not small enough that you can use it with one hand, but you can comfortably hold it much longer than most Apple slates, or throw it in a bag and forget about it .

It's also big enough for pleasant surfing the net or watching videos when away from home and on larger screens, but it's obviously not an exas strong perceptions for most visual media as Apple's larger 9.7, 10.2, 10.5, 11 and 12.9 inch slates.

The small size and lack of a Smart Connector also worsens the productivity of the iPad Pro line, but it's not intended as a replacement laptop.

It's still pretty powerful thanks to 2GB of RAM and the aging but still impressive Apple A8 chip, while the screen is crisp, rich and easy to see even in bright sunlight.

The iPad Mini 4 is also a fraction of the price of Apple's Pro line, and with 128GB of storage, you don't need to be terribly limited in it. domain - although it doesn't equal for the 256GB you can get in the iPad Pro.

Notably, it's been replaced by the iPad Mini (2019), which will be a much better buy for most people, but it's still a solid slate.
