iPad (2018)

Top Pro

Great performance/price ratio

The A10 Fusion chip makes this iPad faster than the majority of similarly-priced tablets available at the time of its release, making it a great investment when it comes to computing power. See More

Top Con

RAM may be insufficient

The iPad only has 2 GB of RAM (non expandable), which may reveal to be insufficient in some, more demanding scenarios. See More

Specs

Size:9.7"+

OS:iOS

For students:Yes

Top Pro

No need for frequent recharging

This tablet’s battery lasts for at least 10 hours of continuos use. This means that you can easily go an entire workday using it without needing to plug it in and, if you only use it for a couple of hours a day, you can go for several days without charging it. See More

Top Con

No Smart Connector

Unlike the iPad Pro, this iPad had no Smart Connector, which would enable easily connecting devices such as keyboards. This leaves Bluetooth as the only alternative for connecting peripherals. See More

Top Pro

Compatibility with the Apple Pencil make it a great option for taking notes or drawing

The 2018 iPad is the first non-Pro iPad to be compatible with the Apple Pencil, which means that, when compered to previous generations, it has become a better tool for taking notes, drawing, and other design tasks. The Pencil is very precise and responsive, features that are extremely convenient for designers or illustrators. It's also pressure sensitive and very comfortable to manipulate. See More

iPad Pro 10.5 (2017)

Top Pro

Compatibility with creative apps

Since Apple products have traditionally been targeted at creative professionals, a number of creative apps (e.g. the Affinity suite, Pixelmator and Shapr3D) are only available on the platform. See More

Top Con

Poor compatibility

There are far more stylus-compatible apps developed for the Windows and Android ecosystems than for iOS. See More

Specs

Size:9.7"+

OS:iOS

Top Pro

Powerful processing

Apple's industry-leading mobile processors mean that the iPad Pro will outperform most Android tablets — although it is still no laptop. See More

Top Con

Expensive

The iPad Pro costs between $649 and $1279 depending on size, capacity and connectivity. See More

Top Pro

Responsive digitizer

The iPad Pro's 120Hz refresh rate (activated while using the Pencil) reduces the stylus lag to 20ms. See More

Top Con

Expensive stylus

Apple's proprietary stylus, the Pencil, is sold separately for $99. See More
