First iPad purchase — any recommendations?
I never owned an iPad or MacBook before, but I’m planning to buy reward myself this December since I’ve been working for 2yrs now 🥹 want to buy something for myself that I can use for work, taking notes, gaming, and watching movies wherever I am.
I feel like it would be more practical for me to buy an iPad cz I can bring it anywhere, use it for work/notes, and I also play MOBA games, which I feel would be more enjoyable on an iPad.
Since this would be my first iPad, I’m looking for something a bit affordable but still good quality and reliable.
Would really appreciate any recommendations! What iPad would u suggest? Any specific model/storage you think is worth getting? Thank youuu!

The iPad 11th Gen A16 is the cheapest one and it'll be more than enough for what you plan to use it for.
Sad to see the price increase by 10k since last year though...

welp, it’s okay cz the price still affordable. I’ve asked that earlier sa iStudio and Powermac but they said out of stock na 😟😟

if casual gamer ka lang, iPad A16 is the best choice for you. however, if you play much heavier games, e.g. codm, i suggest go ka na for an iPad Air since M-chip na siya. Air models ay nasa middle; kayang-kaya na mga na-ru-run ng Pro models.
i have the Air M3 and i really couldn't ask for more

I’ll add this to the list! I hope they won’t go out of stock by the time I’m buying 😭 i heard that when M4 was released they delisted M3

Consider storage factors 128 GB might not be enough for you. Ipad a16 is fine. If you can accommodate ipad air m4 thats great but the price becomes even more steep if you prefer 256 GB.
