Which iPad Should You Buy?
if you just want to watch Netflix and read some emails, and don’t need professional power and features the $329 iPad (2018) is the best choice.
Though $329 iPad for its functionality and value is the best deal, the ability to step up two generations in processing power for $70 to $170 for the Mini or Air is very helpful. Depending on portability you can make a choice between the mini and Air.
If you are someone who needs professional power to replace your laptop and uses some power consuming apps or games the iPad Pro is the best choice whether it’s the larger 12.9 inch or the 11 inch.
