    I just spent 10 days using my iPad 8 as my daily driver. No Mac Air, no Dell XPS - and only using the main system for my job. The iPad 8 is one of the best budget tablets in 2020 but can it really compete with a laptop? Well, I had one major frustration which I resolved, but for the most part, I think I liked the iPad better…
    Other than the file management system - which simply isn’t as sophisticated as MacOS or Windows - the device easily held up. Want to know more? Watch the video!

    What's up everyone? My first 10 days with the iPad 8 were a ton of fun! I hope this video gives you insight to the actually user experience including the good and the bad. Overall things went great and there was really just one area (so far that was frustrating - and I resolved it). Curious to see what happens for the next few week. Are you picking up an iPad 8 or waiting for the iPad Air 4?

In the past he mentioned not needing the latest Air/Pro versions since he uses his iPad for general purposes and playing games. No need to spend a huge amount of $$$.

      I purchased the 128 gb iPad 8 on sale for $380 with Best Buy’s price match and got the K380 keyboard by Logitech and Apple Pencil and Apple Care Plus also have MX Anywhere 2s mouse by Logitech, Speck iPad Cover and everything in total cost me $636.00. I think that is pretty good since I would have spent well over $1,000 on the new iPad Air as I would still need the pencil, keyboard, mouse and Apple Care. And I would have wanted the 256 gb model as 64 gb just isn’t enough for me. By the way BRAND NEW SUBSCRIBER here and I love your informative content. : )

    I was debating between the iPad 8 and the upcoming iPad Air and went with the 8. I’m not a power user mostly web browsing and social media so I was able to buy the 128gb model and a keyboard case for the same price as the new Air. I know I made the right decision for me and your video just confirms it.

    Another terrific video. Here's my reality. As a prospective first time purchaser of an iPad, your iPad videos challenge me - in a good way. Ideologically, I very much like the idea of the onscreen keyboard as an important feature of the iPad as an independent touch device in addition to not liking at all what I consider the expensive, poorly designed apple smart keyboard. But, as with your other videos about this range of devices, you provide an easy to understand review of the actual UX of the iPads. I would love you to review your UX of the apple Magic Trackpad 2 with the iPads. Thought-provoking and invaluable content.

    My iPad is several years old. I use the same wireless keyboard that you have been using with yours. This one is my third iPad purchase. I always try to buy the largest storage I can afford. It was a no brainer to get the 128 for less than $100 more. One of the things that bothers me with the higher end iPads is the loss of the head phone jacks. I purchased another one for my wife. I would probably try the iPad Air next, but I’m use corded Bose head phones. I have a desktop and laptop windows computers that I rarely use. The new apple computers are tempting, but I really don’t need them.

    Bro I'm Planning to take 32gb variant (I've watched your storage comparison)
    But I'm having doubt
    After few months does the app size will increase like If the MS Word app Consumes 272 mb when it gets installed and I'm just creating few documents maximum of 20 mb then the app size will be around 292 mb but I want to you ask if I keep the app like this (idle) only will the app size increase if I'll just open and view the documents ??
    Means slowly slowly the app shouldn't cross 300mb of storage!
