Apple has me sold. I’ve been debating whether to buy an iPad Pro + Pencil for probably a year now. Now I’ll can buy an iPad 2018 + Pencil for half the price and be able to do everything I need.
Just ordered this - specifically to use for uni. One of the other students in my class had an iPad Pro and used it with the Apple Pencil, and she had just the neatest notes I've ever seen. Looked super convenient, and very user friendly. Can't wait for the new semester to start, even though I'm not really done with finals yet.
Why did you chose this one instead of the ipad pro 2018? It is because of the price or something else? I am asking because i am starting med school and want to write notes on it but i can't choose between ipad pro 10.5, 11 or the ipad 2018
@@ivetpetrova5362 im in med school as well and i'll probably get this ipad to use in college (taking notes and reading).. wanted a pro but its way too expensive for me, and i dont see how i'd need the pro for what im planning on using it for

I love my 2018 ipad with the Apple pencil. Love using affinity photo, selecting and painting is so much easier with a pencil. Also love notability. Captures my handwriting brilliantly and converts it to text very accurately. Saves me carrying a keyboard around all the time.
So far it's good, almost a month has passed, and there is still no lag that I can see, I use this for gaming, browseing that's all, not so impressed with the gaming parformace (I'm playing pubg mobile) it give 30 FPS on the best available graphic settings but frame starts to drop after some time (works fine in AC Room but most of the time I'm staying in the fan so I gotta lower it )
eBay is a great place to buy an iPad. I bought my 9.7 inch iPad 6 gen for only £95/ $123.50. It works just fine and is amazing for what it costed me. I bought an Apple Pencil for only £35/$44.50 and its amazing. As an artist that likes to make really fast sketches, I have experienced no lag at all. I definitely recommend this iPad to anyone who is looking for a responsive, powerful and cheap tablet.
I only have an ipad for college. Been doing it for the past 4 years and I can still do all that is required of me on it. I love it. I have the ipad air 2.
Don Downer it does have some downsides. I’m a biology major so most of my work is research, writing and presenting. With a few peripherals it works great for that. Multitasking is sometimes a challenge but has gotten better recently. I’ve also had trouble working on spreadsheets but it’s great to get you started and easy to finish on a school computer. I record lectures as well and I love that all my books and work are all in a convenient form factor. I’m on the go a lot so it gives me the liberty of working just about anywhere without much inconvenience. A Bluetooth keyboard is a must. Oh and flash doesn’t work, I had a course that used a website that used flash, to get around it I used a Remote Desktop app to hijack a friend’s computer to complete that homework on the fly.
I purchased this iPad for my mom as a Mother’s Day gift this year. She loves it. Thanks for the review. Now I know I made a good decision. The gold looks a bit like rose gold.
The iPad 9.7' is my first Apple device. I'm very happy with it. I certainly never expected it to be a heavyweight computing device, and I like that it makes content consumption really pleasant because of its display, but it's not too big to be conveniently portable.The speakers are okay, if a bit awkwardly placed, but I usually use earbuds for movie-watching and even cheaper ones (Skull Candy, $10) give a satisfactory listening experience. I like Safari, but also have Chrome, and the default mail app works fine with me. It integrates with my Google account well enough and I'm set up for Apple Pay. The music apps available are excellent, particularly the built-in Garage Band. Korg's Legacy Collection synths are great. I also have the Apple Pencil and, while I'm no kind of artist, I like using it, particularly as a stylus for operating the touch interface. Apple has done well for me in this case, and, for a change, at a not-unreasonable price.
I use my iPad (2018) for college too. I love it, it's so compatible and way cheaper than what my laptop was. It can almost do everything that I need for my classes, so I keep my laptop at home. I have a laptop that is 15 inch... so the difference in size and weight is a real thing for me. It's so easy to take my iPad with me. Oh and by the way, I don't like the keyboard case, because I'm a guy with long fingers so I'm pressing for the most time 2 buttons at once... So I bought myself the Magic Keyboard. (small one without numpad) And I have to say, I really love the set-up that I use at the moment! If I could go back in time, I wouldn't had bought a laptop for my college.
You are really the best, pls don’t stop 🛑 you are literally my most favorite UA-camr right now ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ I’m being serious you’re incredible.
I have had the Ipad 2018 since August and am nearing the end of this fall semester so if anyone wants a review: It’s great! I’m an English major meaning I am reading a lot of pdfs and writing papers, and it has never lagged on me so far. I have an Apple Pencil which is extremely fun to use when brainstorming for essays and taking notes. I do have a math class and use an app to access my schools desktop for Stats programs, and it works extremely well. I do have an iMac at home, but I don’t find myself using it as much as I thought I would have to just to compensate for the iPad. Entertainment is perfectly fine it does its job! I love watching youtube videos and the quality is very nice. Sound is okay, but I use bluetooth headphones during most of the school day so theres really no issue there. ios 12 has EXTREMELY helped this iPad’s performance, so I’m happy with the way it works!

I recommend anyone use these discounts because they help a lot whether it be just saving $30 dollars lol.
Good review, particularly the keyboard recommendation. I have a similar Logitech keyboard and like it. I'd strongly suggest paying another $100 for the 128GB model. That's four times the storage for less that 30% more. If money is tight, skip the Pen for now. You can always buy it later. You can't do that with more storage. What you get is all you will ever have.
Michael W. Perry I was tempted to get the 128gb but I went for the 32gb because I store everything in the cloud and needed the LTE model, because I was going to use it out in the field for my uni course. But for most people yeah the 128gb is a must
Disagree, with so many cloud options like OneDrive, GoogleDrive, etc there's no need for a 128gb model unless you like to save lots of vídeos on it. For working and some pictures 32gb internal storage is more than enough.
@@TigasFMS decided to buy ipad 9.7 but I'm stuck with buying either 32gb or 128gb... I'm using for educational purpose (mostly pdf and ppt files) and will write some notes in it. So if I store the files in drive can I still get to write notes on it? Or the files should be downloaded and stored in the device itself?
@@debbyhah3141 you're supposed to connect to WiFi all the time . But if its your recent work,i guess you can still access it offline. Since you mention pdf and ppt files,yes it can be accessed offline. Cloud storage is meant for a large file like video or image.
*How Does it Hold Up in 2020?* I still use my 6th gen iPad and so far it still works perfectly and I have no major complains about it. I have the Logitech Slim Folio keyboard case for it and just got the 1st gen Apple pencil a week ago to help me take notes faster. It can do everything I need it to do for school (Zoom, email, word, ppt, excel, notes etc). I literally never notice the non-laminated screen. It’s only obviously noticeable if you compare it to an iPad pro right next to it or you are just coming from an iPad pro. For me, the non-laminated screen is not a problem whatsoever. My iPad has not slowed down yet, and i’ve been using it for about two years now. I normally average 4+ hours of screen on time but during the last few months I have become an extremely heavy user, i’ve been averaging near 11 hours of screen on time per day. It’s the device I use for everything. The only problem I will say it has is the lack of RAM. If I have like 10+ applications open and i’m switching between them constantly, one or some of the apps may crash (fortunately this has not been *major* problem for me because it rarely happens and even if the app crashed, no data got lost). For the people who want to use it for school, I definitely recommend buying a keyboard for it, the Apple magic keyboard is compatible with any of them past the 7th gen. To me the base model iPad is the best one the get for the average consumer considering the price, especially considering they added the smart connector to that lineup.
Sometime back, I had a MacBook Air 11-inch and iPad 4. I found myself using and bringing my iPad more than my Mac. When I got married and had my own Family, I switched to a Mac Mini and iPad Air 2. I'd say the iPad... any iPad, is the best portable computer (for most of us).
I saw many people using surface devices at my university... towards the end of the year those same people switched to ipads. Not one person was left using a surface device. I ended uo asking one of them and they said for note taking the ipad was a better option.
Lancer Shade Pages and numbers. Thats what I used. If I remember correctly some of these other guys also had laptops. I would probably say half of them used windows and half macs
Besides note taking, how good is this iPad for online classes? You know, having to use different websites and submitting workloads? I’m trying to decide if I should get an iPad or a Chromebook? Thanks
Manny Alaniz for me there is two different types of online classes. The fully online classes where you do absolutely everything online through an online website/app. The other type is where a prof wants you to do hw or submit projects through a website. The first i never had. The second i had no problem using the ipad. I was able to submit projects every week and work through mymathlab and other online hw sites. Many websites are optimized for ipad and the files app. Pages lets you convert documents to .docx or pdf. Same with keynote and numbers.
You’ve come a long way, man. I remember your videos in your early days of UA-cam, they were, tbh, kinda casual and unprofessional- but that’s how everyone starts. Now, your videos are well-edited, professional and of high quality. Good job.
Everyone I've watched so far gave negative reviews but it's affordable and I can use it for watching UA-cam, drawing, and gaming. It doesn't have to be this perfect impeccable piece of technology.
I know you spoke about high schoolers, but as a middle school teacher, kids at that age aren't responsible enough to keep track of the pencil or keep the screen from breaking. Chromebooks are more durable for middle schoolers.
@@jjoudy126 Lack of gratitude and sense of entitlement. I wish I had been provided a laptop when I was in school. I carried heavy books and binders around.
One suggestion. For most, 32GB of storage isn't enough. I would suggest paying $100 more to get 128 GB even if that means waiting to get an Apple Pencil. You can always add the Pencil. Once purchased you cannot add storage and this iPad is fast enough you should be able to keep it for a long time. And if you'd like to get lots of protection and an excellent keyboard, check out the Zagg Rugged Folio. You can get the iPad Air 1 version for at $99 and it fits this iPad perfectly except the volume keys don't match. The up volume button is now the down volume and you'll need to use an opening for the up volume. That's no big deal and will save you $40.
No questions but I have a comment. Love your videos bc I like that you don't "sing" at the end of your sentences like most other UA-camrs. It is so dang annoying when they do that. Just speak normally! Like you. Thanks for that.
had the first gen ipad pro 12 and loved it, but,found it to be more than i needed. sold it a year year later. just got the new ipad 6th gen and love it
Thank you Justin. This information is so helpful for me as a mum. I am about to go out and buy our 14 year old twin girl's ipad's, but I was still not sure which one. So now, I am go to get two of these ipad. They love drawing a lot and it will be use for online schooling as well. Thanks again.
I love my iPad 9.7 (2018). I thought about getting the iPad Pro but all I usually do with an iPad is just to play games every once and a while and I don’t really have to edit to much stuff either. I think you should get it if it fits your needs for it!
I’m using my 9.7 inch iPad Pro as a backup since my PC broke for note taking. I love it for its simplicity and it’s great as a travel device, but the Price of the iPad and the lack of additional flexibility, like the use of a mouse, really hurts it’s value for me. I like the Apple Pencil for marking things up and for reading, but I don’t think that even the iPad Pro is capable of replacing a real computer, as their marketing and price might make it seem. As a University student, I need to have the ability to multitask and the ipad really struggles to provide for that need.
I agree, I have a Pro 10.5 and as much as I love this thing it simply cannot replace my laptop/desktop. After handing in an engineering report the other day it really got me thinking about how much of a pain it would have been if I had to do it all on my iPad.
tbh multitasking on ios 11 is fine but there are some oversights. Like how you can have 2 of the same app open. What if i need to view 2 pdfs or 2 word documents? 2 websites?
Rose Xoxo thats pretty true. I have to do CAD stuff rn in high school but at the same time im only using the computers at school and we have a desktop if i need one.
Thank you, this review was very helpful. I've been debating whether i should get the ipad 2018 and thanks to your review i have decided to get one. The other videos relating to this product don't come close to the quality that you provide.
This was SUPER well explained, I was thinking about getting the apple ipad 9.7 *2018* for Christmas this year, and i think i will, i would also love to have the keyboard but that'll be about $450 , cause i also wanted a $70 tv i saw at best buy lol
The true student equivalent to the iPad is the surface, no one buys chromebooks.. they don’t support anything. The surface is perfect for productivity while the iPad is better for media consumption. I decided to get a surface cause I think it’s really annoying and limiting to use Office applications on the iPad, which is the most important thing for me as a student
I’m sold, I will buy the iPad 6. My old iPad Air 2 is still a very good tablet, but I’d love that pencil support. I can conform iPads are great and durable devices, the apps are well optimized. Thanks for the help.
I have it, and although it is a well-built and quality tablet, I find the software too limited for students. Laptop + Evernote + paper notebook give you so much better opportunities.
How long will it last/ when will it be outdated/ show lags (get old) ?? I'm asking this in reference to using this as a college student which include MS OFFICE apps + video watching + book reading and heavy PDFs . all study related work .
Even though Apple is quite well known for their planned obsolesce, I'm still using my 5 year (ish) old iPad mini 2 for my heavy PDF reading purposes (academic here). Granted, mine can't run MS office properly. So if you're only using it to watch video and reading it should last awhile, but personally I think it's too premature to rely on iPad as primary productivity device.
Apple is kinda evil when it comes to making their old devices lag so that you are motivated to buy their new ones. My ipad 3 got old awhile ago. Can't use it for anything
This is the first video I have come across that hasn’t drug the 9.7 IPad in the mud. I am not wanting to know why I should get the IPad Pro instead. But this gives a true all around everyday user review. Thank you for making this video.
Justin Tse makes anything look good. I thought the ipad with this case looked ugly. I thought the Ipad with white bezels was also ugly. I CHANGED MY MIND
You can find a Logitech Slim Folio Keyboard Case on eBay for 40-50 bucks. Just got one and it’s great, you can see a clip of it on my iPad 2018 review I just posted
Nice job. I got the 2018 iPad and ironically the Logitech slim keyboard and they really do make a great combo. I couldn’t go for the overpriced pencil though so I got the Logitech crayon and I think it’s great for what I want.
Jason Hatherlee really?? Mine was $329 there. I just bought it there. I ended up paying nearly $600 for it including the keyboard $50 apple care plan $69 apple pen $99 plus a $30 tax 😭 I’m only a poor student
ipad is nice for design studies. I used ipad with apple pen to draw designs and stuff rather than real paper and pen. I could sketch my prototypes and hi-fi prototypes on ipad.
Apple pencil.... Bought it for $129 CAD. Was it worth it? Not at the beginning. As a photographer and artist, it is worth it after I've used it for a few weeks.
I got distracted by the LV cardcase, Goyard wallet, and BMW interior appeared in the video, and had to rewind to re-focus on what you're saying about iPad. I must be the perfect demographic which Apple is targeting, with iPhones and iPads :D
I got this tablet for Christmas and with christmas money i got the slim folio case, so far so good! And ive been against apple for a good while (and the Apple Pencil is next) but i disagree with your view on competition with the iPad, as the surface go is its direct competitor
really appreciate these reveiws great vid! I really dislike apple, but i have to take my hat off to this product i think in terms of students who study lighter subjects they have hit the nail on the head!
I already own a powerfull laptop and I'm looking for a simple media consumption device. Do you think the Ipad 9.7'' (2018) is the best fit for my needs? Great video btw, I loved it!
Its about financial wisdom!! See personally I have my phone,Apple Watch and AirPods which were expensive enough but thanks to a few sales and good timing I came across the Budget iPad for 250 which is a no brainer AND I can get the pencil for 100?! Man listen I’m happy saving money and looking GOOD while I’m doing it
I really enjoyed this video, I have a 10.5 pro with an imported keyboard and I love it to be honest. I do want to get myself an Apple Pencil but still on the fence because I feel as if a new edition of the pencil will debut soon.
The laminated display is nice but the Air 2 won't be supported much longer considering how old it's processor is. You're better off getting the new iPad, or even last year's.
A bit false statment, the iPad 2 was supported for years (iOS 4 to 9, 5 years), the iPad air 2 has a good CPU (A8X). The old iPhone 5S is still supported after years. The Air 2 is slimer and lighter, its why you prefer this one. Think if you need the Pencil or not.
Does anyone else watch 25 videos to make sure they’re getting something good
OR
Get the thing and then watch reviews smiling to yourself about how awesome your purchase was?

I did both! Got the Apple Pencil + the 9.7 in Space Grey model in 128gb and I'm in love!

For the people who want to use it for school, I definitely recommend buying a keyboard for it, the Apple magic keyboard is compatible with any of them past the 7th gen. To me the base model iPad is the best one the get for the average consumer considering the price, especially considering they added the smart connector to that lineup.
Sometime back, I had a MacBook Air 11-inch and iPad 4. I found myself using and bringing my iPad more than my Mac.
When I got married and had my own Family, I switched to a Mac Mini and iPad Air 2.
I'd say the iPad... any iPad, is the best portable computer (for most of us).
I saw many people using surface devices at my university... towards the end of the year those same people switched to ipads. Not one person was left using a surface device. I ended uo asking one of them and they said for note taking the ipad was a better option.
I have some question, what about working excel or words? Any recommendations?
Lancer Shade Pages and numbers. Thats what I used. If I remember correctly some of these other guys also had laptops. I would probably say half of them used windows and half macs
BecomingIntermediate many thanks
Besides note taking, how good is this iPad for online classes? You know, having to use different websites and submitting workloads? I’m trying to decide if I should get an iPad or a Chromebook? Thanks
Manny Alaniz for me there is two different types of online classes. The fully online classes where you do absolutely everything online through an online website/app. The other type is where a prof wants you to do hw or submit projects through a website. The first i never had. The second i had no problem using the ipad. I was able to submit projects every week and work through mymathlab and other online hw sites. Many websites are optimized for ipad and the files app. Pages lets you convert documents to .docx or pdf. Same with keynote and numbers.
You’ve come a long way, man. I remember your videos in your early days of UA-cam, they were, tbh, kinda casual and unprofessional- but that’s how everyone starts. Now, your videos are well-edited, professional and of high quality. Good job.
I really love the iPad and keyboard combination.
I mean, I have an iPad Pro already..... but oh well, it’s a Justin Tse video so I’ll watch the whole thing anyway 😂
Andrew Tran which pro do you have
6644pmr 2016 9.7”
still an awesome iPad
Same here xD I have the 2015 12.9" and its amazing!!
I am literally watching this on a 2nd gen 12.9 iPad Pro 512GB
Everyone I've watched so far gave negative reviews but it's affordable and I can use it for watching UA-cam, drawing, and gaming. It doesn't have to be this perfect impeccable piece of technology.
I know you spoke about high schoolers, but as a middle school teacher, kids at that age aren't responsible enough to keep track of the pencil or keep the screen from breaking. Chromebooks are more durable for middle schoolers.
@@jjoudy126 Lack of gratitude and sense of entitlement. I wish I had been provided a laptop when I was in school. I carried heavy books and binders around.
Where did you get your bluetooth keyboard?
One suggestion. For most, 32GB of storage isn't enough. I would suggest paying $100 more to get 128 GB even if that means waiting to get an Apple Pencil. You can always add the Pencil. Once purchased you cannot add storage and this iPad is fast enough you should be able to keep it for a long time.
And if you'd like to get lots of protection and an excellent keyboard, check out the Zagg Rugged Folio. You can get the iPad Air 1 version for at $99 and it fits this iPad perfectly except the volume keys don't match. The up volume button is now the down volume and you'll need to use an opening for the up volume. That's no big deal and will save you $40.
Just bought mine, I love the 2018 iPad! Works perfectly for me!
Great video! The student geared content is definitely fun to watch.
No questions but I have a comment. Love your videos bc I like that you don't "sing" at the end of your sentences like most other UA-camrs. It is so dang annoying when they do that. Just speak normally! Like you. Thanks for that.
Once again an Amazing review great work 🙏

had the first gen ipad pro 12 and loved it, but,found it to be more than i needed. sold it a year year later. just got the new ipad 6th gen and love it
Thanks. I'll stick with my iPad 4 for another year and then probably go for one of the pro machines next year subject to developments.
Looks like the new Pro will release in September or October
I’m not quite sure which iPad to get the 2018 or the 2019 it’s a tough decision ngl 🤔🤔
Apple should know that this tablet is a game changer. Education is the future.
Thank you Justin. This information is so helpful for me as a mum. I am about to go out and buy our 14 year old twin girl's ipad's, but I was still not sure which one. So now, I am go to get two of these ipad. They love drawing a lot and it will be use for online schooling as well. Thanks again.
I love my iPad 9.7 (2018). I thought about getting the iPad Pro but all I usually do with an iPad is just to play games every once and a while and I don’t really have to edit to much stuff either. I think you should get it if it fits your needs for it!
I’m using my 9.7 inch iPad Pro as a backup since my PC broke for note taking. I love it for its simplicity and it’s great as a travel device, but the Price of the iPad and the lack of additional flexibility, like the use of a mouse, really hurts it’s value for me. I like the Apple Pencil for marking things up and for reading, but I don’t think that even the iPad Pro is capable of replacing a real computer, as their marketing and price might make it seem. As a University student, I need to have the ability to multitask and the ipad really struggles to provide for that need.
E Gully what do you mean by multitask
I agree, I have a Pro 10.5 and as much as I love this thing it simply cannot replace my laptop/desktop. After handing in an engineering report the other day it really got me thinking about how much of a pain it would have been if I had to do it all on my iPad.
tbh multitasking on ios 11 is fine but there are some oversights. Like how you can have 2 of the same app open. What if i need to view 2 pdfs or 2 word documents? 2 websites?
Rose Xoxo thats pretty true. I have to do CAD stuff rn in high school but at the same time im only using the computers at school and we have a desktop if i need one.
Bro you’re taking engineering classes. Anything that is not a laptop, you should not buy for engineering lmao.
Helped a lot . I got one today for bac to school.
Thank you, this review was very helpful. I've been debating whether i should get the ipad 2018 and thanks to your review i have decided to get one. The other videos relating to this product don't come close to the quality that you provide.
This was SUPER well explained, I was thinking about getting the apple ipad 9.7 *2018* for Christmas this year, and i think i will, i would also love to have the keyboard but that'll be about $450 , cause i also wanted a $70 tv i saw at best buy lol
This video helped me bring my stress levels down.
Great video as always :)
The true student equivalent to the iPad is the surface, no one buys chromebooks.. they don’t support anything. The surface is perfect for productivity while the iPad is better for media consumption. I decided to get a surface cause I think it’s really annoying and limiting to use Office applications on the iPad, which is the most important thing for me as a student
I’m sold, I will buy the iPad 6. My old iPad Air 2 is still a very good tablet, but I’d love that pencil support. I can conform iPads are great and durable devices, the apps are well optimized. Thanks for the help.
I have it, and although it is a well-built and quality tablet, I find the software too limited for students. Laptop + Evernote + paper notebook give you so much better opportunities.
Thanks for the in depth review! Great job!
How long will it last/ when will it be outdated/ show lags (get old) ?? I'm asking this in reference to using this as a college student which include MS OFFICE apps + video watching + book reading and heavy PDFs . all study related work .
Even though Apple is quite well known for their planned obsolesce, I'm still using my 5 year (ish) old iPad mini 2 for my heavy PDF reading purposes (academic here). Granted, mine can't run MS office properly. So if you're only using it to watch video and reading it should last awhile, but personally I think it's too premature to rely on iPad as primary productivity device.
I would say that it will last at least 5 more years
Arrowlog Productions oh great ! Thank you!
Our iPad mini (1!) has got mega lags... But it was bought in +/- 2012.
Apple is kinda evil when it comes to making their old devices lag so that you are motivated to buy their new ones. My ipad 3 got old awhile ago. Can't use it for anything
This is the first video I have come across that hasn’t drug the 9.7 IPad in the mud. I am not wanting to know why I should get the IPad Pro instead. But this gives a true all around everyday user review. Thank you for making this video.
Totally. We all know the Pro is better... but it costs 3x more!
Watching this on the 9.7 ipad pro
Justin Tse makes anything look good. I thought the ipad with this case looked ugly. I thought the Ipad with white bezels was also ugly. I CHANGED MY MIND
Good job on the review. I still wanna go with Pro....
dude, your video is beautiful to see. The colors are so pleasant
Fantastic, informative video! My Ipad is due to arrive later today and I'm psyched! :)
Walmart has it for $249. Target will price-match as well. No complaints, I do need a keyboard case!
You can find a Logitech Slim Folio Keyboard Case on eBay for 40-50 bucks. Just got one and it’s great, you can see a clip of it on my iPad 2018 review I just posted
I have this iPad and it is great. Fast, great screen, and all the apps I want.
Get the notability app and the Apple Pencil and that’s all you need for notes for college.
Come through with the consistency Justin💙
I'm in highschool, and I'm choosing a iPad with the of the support of the Apple pencil.
What is your recommendation for my purchase of any new iPads.
Thanks, it's a helpful information. Thanks for honest and informative review. Great job :)
Nice job. I got the 2018 iPad and ironically the Logitech slim keyboard and they really do make a great combo. I couldn’t go for the overpriced pencil though so I got the Logitech crayon and I think it’s great for what I want.
You should get your hands on a surface pro with LTE. Would love to hear your experience with it!
I have the Space Gray iPad 2018 with the Slim Folio case and the Pencil and it is amazing for school and entertainment
Hope this gets top comment because i’m gonna buy one but i’ve been thinking does it come with the apple pencil?
Best Buy has these for $299 right now. That’s a good deal.
Jason Hatherlee really?? Mine was $329 there. I just bought it there. I ended up paying nearly $600 for it including the keyboard $50 apple care plan $69 apple pen $99 plus a $30 tax 😭 I’m only a poor student
Got mines from Walmart for $263.00
Jess P it’s on sale on amazon this weekend for around $250 for the 32 gb model and $379 for the 128 gb model
Target has it for $249
Jess P Girl same😢
This was a great review for a student perspective :)
As a hobby artist I would definitely get the apple pen for my iPad 2018 along with the keyboard for school related tasks.
Yes, but...32 GB (for use as you described) or 128 GB?
If you are using it as more then a *personal device* i suggest 128
Amazing review bro, UVic grad here, missing the island and had too much fun in Tower during first year ;)
ipad is nice for design studies. I used ipad with apple pen to draw designs and stuff rather than real paper and pen. I could sketch my prototypes and hi-fi prototypes on ipad.
Apple pencil.... Bought it for $129 CAD. Was it worth it? Not at the beginning. As a photographer and artist, it is worth it after I've used it for a few weeks.
I am watching this video on iPad 2018...it’s really good
Watching on my ipad 2018
once again very well explained video....loved it and damn that hypebeast note book looks dope😍💯
I got distracted by the LV cardcase, Goyard wallet, and BMW interior appeared in the video, and had to rewind to re-focus on what you're saying about iPad. I must be the perfect demographic which Apple is targeting, with iPhones and iPads :D
Why can't people just stop bashing people who take pics on their iPad?
It is great.
iPad
I'm sold on this iPad now 🤩
I want to buy an iPad, but I don’t know if I should buy the 9.7 or 10.5. Is the price difference worth it?
Just the video I was looking for!!
I got this tablet for Christmas and with christmas money i got the slim folio case, so far so good! And ive been against apple for a good while (and the Apple Pencil is next) but i disagree with your view on competition with the iPad, as the surface go is its direct competitor
Good video. I have the same ipad 9.7 inch 2018. Thing a beast I love it
Good stuff man.. I recently got one and love it!
Eevnos is it worth it i am going to buy it
I definitely think so!
I use mine for everything from watching movies, to using it in my video production workflow to gaming.. absolutely love it!
really appreciate these reveiws great vid! I really dislike apple, but i have to take my hat off to this product i think in terms of students who study lighter subjects they have hit the nail on the head!
please give the link of cheap stylus pencil for writing notes on ipad
Great review, hope to more like this video. Students need good advices buying things for school
Great video bro! I would like it if you could do a full comparison of iPad pro and the iPad 2018! Thanks! Keep it up. Instant subscriber!
Basically what I needed to know about the iPad. Now I’m a bit torn between this one and the new mini (due to the better processor).
I already own a powerfull laptop and I'm looking for a simple media consumption device. Do you think the Ipad 9.7'' (2018) is the best fit for my needs?
Great video btw, I loved it!
E.L050 i think it is
This was actually such a great review.
Excellent video. Very helpful in choosing between pro and iPad.
I love your style and content!
Wow! Amazing. 😮😮😮.I am going to buy it.
Its about financial wisdom!! See personally I have my phone,Apple Watch and AirPods which were expensive enough but thanks to a few sales and good timing I came across the Budget iPad for 250 which is a no brainer AND I can get the pencil for 100?! Man listen I’m happy saving money and looking GOOD while I’m doing it
I really enjoyed this video, I have a 10.5 pro with an imported keyboard and I love it to be honest. I do want to get myself an Apple Pencil but still on the fence because I feel as if a new edition of the pencil will debut soon.
What's your opinion now?
For us our school has iPads for the intermediates and iPads and chromebooks for the juniors and seniors
I know the ipad air 2 is an old ipad but i just prefer it to the newer ipad 6 and I dont know which to buy. Help me plz
Buy the new one. The Air 2 is 4 years old, too outdated at this point.
The laminated display is nice but the Air 2 won't be supported much longer considering how old it's processor is. You're better off getting the new iPad, or even last year's.
A bit false statment, the iPad 2 was supported for years (iOS 4 to 9, 5 years), the iPad air 2 has a good CPU (A8X). The old iPhone 5S is still supported after years. The Air 2 is slimer and lighter, its why you prefer this one. Think if you need the Pencil or not.
Ive bought the new 2018 ipad with apple pencil in gold color and that thing is soo smooth!
Adou Cohen ipad air 3
The Logitech is a bit cumbersome when you're using iPad as an iPad, that is, without the keyboard. What do you usually do?
Great vid! Keep up the good work.
Great informative video and I think you helped me see that this iPad would be great for most purposes and most people!
My air 2 motherboard went bad after 18 months, looking at this as a replacement it’s actually cheaper than my air cost me for the same gb
Can anyone Tell Me Why Justin Has The Best Content On UA-cam? :)
