Thinking about purchasing a new iPad for Christmas . Anyone out there lately purchase a new iPad or iPad Pro...
 
I just bought the iPad (2017) 5th generation on the day after Thanksgiving sale for $249 and have played around on it a few times.

Not sure on the specs, but it must not have a fast processor as a few things are a slower than my GS6 phone.
 
I bought the plain Jane a few months ago and am pleased with it. My main gripes with my iPad Air were crashes due to inadequate memory and inadequate storage for Amazon Prime movies/tv. The new one solved both issues. I fly a lot and the current 32gb is perfect though I could probably someday benefit from even more storage. As for the form factor the screen size is perfect for airplanes.

Some people see no need for a computer if they have the iPad Pro, but I still believe in a MacBook or other PC for my work and personal finance apps. That would be the determining factor for me: Can you give up your PC if you get a Pro?
 
Good question... I quess you get the best of both worlds if you purchase the iPad Pro and your PC needs up date as well like mine does.

I use my old I Pad more than my PC because how out dated my PC is.
 
Did you previously have a iPad and what model was it?

This is the first one that I have ever owned. My parents have one that they got almost 10 years ago. We cannot even get it to update the software anymore. My wife uses Kindles.

I am not even sure why we got the iPad because about the only thing that I will use it for is for games... although I have put Microsoft Word and Excel and plan on getting a Bluetooth keyboard for it.

I guess, one thing someone with an answer needs to ask of you, is what do you plan to use your iPad for?

Always been a Ipad kind of guy....but just bought a Surface Pro..... there is really no comparison between the two... Ipad has 'aps' .and the Surface Pro is a windows ten full computer.

Check it out.
