Happy first Ipad user

Reviewed in the United States on November 4, 2019

Verified Purchase

This is my first Ipad ever and I am very happy so far. What tipped the scales for me were the pencil and keyboard for this lower priced model. I have been using the pencil a lot. I find it easier to scroll up and down a page using the pencil than your finger. Also I really enjoy being able to hand write notes in GoodNotes5. It's already been very useful when I took this to a conference and had the course materials on PDF and could highlight and put notes all over the PDF while others carried a 600 page binder. One could definitely use this as a replacement to carrying a bunch of files. I feel there is not much lost in writing on Ipad compared to paper. Now feel, it's of course a different feel and you can get the paper like product but I did not because I did not want to lose any resolution and vividness from the screen. The control is good and no delay. I've also enjoyed using it to paint and draw using a different app. I have not used the keyboard as much, but I have to write a few different emails and papers. It works as a fine screen protector and then you can whip out the keyboard as needed. It's an ok keyboard but probably not what you'd want to write a ton on as it's not super ergonomic and the keys might not be everyone's preference. The battery life is good. The size is pretty good. I can see how the bigger screen models would be nice especially for more room to write on. This model works perfect for me. If you were in between needing an Ipad and a laptop, I might recommend you go for the pro which with the more powerful processor and bigger screen, could fit that bill. It would be nice to have a mouse pad and an arrow on the screen though but using the pencil or my finger I've been able to edit and get where I need to on the screen pretty well. Overall good value and happy customer.

Wow, From a Graphic Designer Perspective

Reviewed in the United States on April 25, 2020

Verified Purchase

Let’s put everything in perspective. I’m a graphic designer and illustrator, when I decided to buy this iPad, I really wanted to fail my expectations. I had a 2-in-1 Laptop with pencil support, which I have to give to my wife for her studies, so my expectation was very high, I needed a product I could use on the go draw and do some graphic design on the fly, which I could finish back in the office.

I’ve been a non-Apple user for many years and I heard many people telling me how awesome the iPad was so I give it a shot, but keep in focus what my expectations were. Well, I didn’t want to spend too much money, Christmas was getting closer, so I wanted to be on a very tight budget, and I saw all the reviews about the new iPad 7th Generation, where each reviewer stated that for the price was perfect on the budget solutions for young artists.

I’m not a young artist, but I also heard that the pencil supported angle detection which my laptop didn’t do at that time, later on, was added with an update, but still was an upgrade at the moment.

So I received the iPad with my new Apple Pencil and I set it up, installed Sketchbook, Affinity Photo, and Affinity Designer right away. I have been using those last two applications for about 2 years now and I heard as well that they had all the capacity of the desktop counterpart in the iPad, and I said to myself: “let see about that”.

Well, after all, that I started to draw, hated the clicking noise, but the smoothness of the strokes, the responsiveness of the experience, and the fluidity of the pen captivated me. This is a $400 to $500 set up and so far so good. Then I started to work on Affinity Designer, had a couple of projects on my OneDrive, with was easy to set up to work with the iPad File System, from 128 Gb went to 1Tb unit, just like that. The project opened without any issue on my iPad, every element, and every layer was there, I was able to work on that project without any lag, it was then that I said... “No way!”

This cheap set up works great, better than expected. If you are a new designer trying to get by, let me tell you, the iPad 7th Generation, and whatever comes next is more than enough to get you started.

Now if you come from another platform and you have a bunch of Apple Sheep telling you how great the system is and how the apps are optimized better for the iPad, let me put it in perspective, that’s a bunch of bolognas. The Instagram app is junk in the iPad if you have your iPad in a case with a keyboard be ready to have to get the iPad out of the case constantly because many, probably, too many apps force portrait, which is a pain. iPad OS is not bug-free. Apps do freezes and there’s no way to close all the apps at once.

The iPad is a very capable device, don’t get me wrong, but do not set your mind that’s a perfect experience, because it is not, is good and in some cases better because the Apple ecosystem, AirDrop has no match for sure. But is far from perfect. It is a very long learning curve, that once you come through it you will love the experience.

The screen quality is not the best if you are wanting to enjoy your YouTube videos in 4K, “No way José”, you are out of luck with this iPad, color accuracy is good, the touchscreen is the best experience you could have.

If you are buying this iPad for drawing as your primary function, buy silicone tips, the clacking and clicking of the pen get to you after a while, no you don’t get used to it, you just tolerate it, with $5 dollars you can make it all go away. Don’t buy paper-like screen protectors, they will make the screen looking worst, and is LCD, no deep blacks.

But man, with less than $500 you can have a very powerful drawing and design device for on-the-go experience, no i3 or i5 4Gb of RAM unoptimized crap that you can get at this price with other brands, this is a great bargain, if you are not planning to do 4K video editing. In that case, I think I would go with the iPad Pro.

One big CON... takes forever to charge, Oh My Gosh, why did you do this Apple, give me a break. At least battery life is not that bad, it will take you through the day for sure. If you are 10% and want to charge for a meeting, forget about it if you are 10 minutes away it will only charge 2% or 3%. Yeah, the Turtle would beat yours for sure.

Well, but seriously, for the price, all Cons are outlasted by the Pros. If you need a design device at a low budget, you cannot get better than the iPad, and you get 1 year of Apple TV for free. Not much to see there but at least entertain.

Great Value!

I previously owned the second generation of the iPad, but they become obsolete after so many years, as the operating systems get to a point where they cannot be updated. This means that you also get to a point where you cannot update, and therefore use, certain apps. So I was on the lookout to replace this model, and get the most recent model available, to prolong the life of the device.

I was able to snag this 128GB model during a Black Friday sale. This was already a higher storage model than I previously had, so that was a big positive.

The storage is great, but this model is also very fast and responsive. Apps load quickly, and movies stream and look great when using Netflix and other streaming apps.

I was able to pair my AirPods easily, as well as a keyboard case I bought, that comes in handy. I am able to use my iPad while traveling, and can easily surf the internet, and answer emails with ease.

All in all, I am very pleased with this iPad! I will get a lot of use out of this!

Perfect size for use on a airplane or during a meeting.

Reviewed in the United States on October 18, 2019

Decided to follow all of my colleagues lead and buy an iPad for business use. I typically travel with my MacBook Pro and noticed my colleagues were traveling and attending meetings with an iPad. Did some research and found they are using the 10.2 iPad with the Apple keyboard and pencil. Decided to buy one myself, what a difference this tool makes for business travel and getting work done. The latest iPadOS makes this a real business tool. I tried an iPad back in the day and found I could not really get business quotes and communication done. The ability to use the iPad for a second monitor is worth the cost of the iPad. I love the ability to access files, have a nice keyboard, open several documents while emailing clients all in a light weight portable package. The latest iPadOS makes the entry level IPad a real poker house for business applications. I also like the ability to draw schematics during meetings using the pencil and iPad. Works well for note taking when coupled with a good note taking app. I can do anything with this combo that I could do with the much more expensive Surface my company bought me. When coupled with a 2019 MacBook this is an unbeatable combination.
