    Which iPad would you get? I would personally go for iPad Air 4 due to the new design, larger display for better split screen, and compatibility with Apple Pencil 2 - SO much more portable and convenient! But the iPad 8th gen is still an awesome buy for its price (keep in mind the starting storage size, though). I started with the iPad 6th gen and I've been hooked ever since!

      I’m still using my 6th gen but I’m so so tempted to sell my MacBook and iPad both to switch over to the iPad 4 completely as my sole device and then just get the magic keyboard, especially because it seems powerful enough for the transition and unlike when I tried using the 6th gen as my sole device it didn’t work out because of size and not having a keyboard for it, otherwise I’ll keep my Mac and just sell the 6th gen and save up for the air

    I’ve been using iPad 8th gen for school and Apple Pencil 1st gen. Honestly if you’re not bothered loads about the laminated screen, charging the pencil using the adapter/iPad port, and less screen space, then it’s really not that bad. Plus it’s a lot cheaper than other iPads and if you still use a headphone jack, it’s got that.

    I personally ended up going for the iPad 8th gen. Mostly because of cost. I figured that if down the line I decide I want a better experience, bigger screen, and/or more storage, I can always trade in and upgrade that way. Not only that, the iPad wouldn't be my main school device. It'd be VERY useful for a lot of things, yes, but after having gone to an in-person apple store in my city, I didn't really see or feel much difference. So maybe one day I'll upgrade, but definitely for now, the iPad 8th gen works best for me :)

    I was planning on buying the iPad 8th gen but decided to just purchase the air 4 because I had the money otherwise I wouldn’t have gotten it. It honestly is the best thing I have ever purchased for school. The full screen is much more aesthetically pleasing when I use it with a keyboard case. If you do not plan to use your iPad as a computer, the 8th gen is probably not a bad option for you.

    I'm also thinking of purchasing my very first iPad for uni next year, and I'm set on buying the air 4 because if I'm going to buy something that I know I'll be using for a long amount of time, I'd choose the one that is more convenient (because of the touch ID by the unlock button, USB-C and magnetic thingies) and sleek (thinner bezel and bigger screen size). The price jump is my only concern but, I think it's really worth it. iPads for school are a really good investment to start with and I'd opt for the air since I have more time to save for it and it'll probably be cheaper the next year.

    Really enjoyed the video. I've personally been doing digital note-taking for over 2 years and I have to stick. I LOVE IT. would never really go back to pen/paper. However, here's my personal experience on the budget iPad and help you guys out in whether to save money or indulge yourself a little.
    Previous iPad = iPad 6th Gen.
    - This had a 9.7 inch LCD display
    - Traditional Touch ID Authentication
    - Compatible with Apple Pencil, Gen 1.
    - Stereo speakers
    - Non-laminated display.
    Those are some of the features on the iPad 6th Gen. At the time I was really excited to have an iPad at all and the experience of ditching notebooks, binders, folders, and paper to just the tablet and the pencil made it more portable and streamlined. However, I eventually realized that because I do take quite a lot of notes, as well as multitasking the screen size was just too small. On top of that, I didn't like the sound when you write on a non-laminated display, because of the gap between the glass and the display itself, it will become noticeable over time. Also the annoyance of either having to charge the pencil by shoving it up the lightning port or using the small adapter that came with it, which secretly you are going to or have lost the small adapter.
    I traded my old iPad, along with my old series 3 apple watch and having education discount, I then purchased the 11 inches iPad Pro, wifi only, 128GB of storage in silver for under £500 and the apple pencil 2 for under £100 so in total it came to under £600 (this is the iPad Pro 11 inch, 2nd Gen).
    Now, most of you guys may decide that you won't need the pro and that is completely understandable. Originally I was going to purchase the iPad Air, but I didn't know when the pre-order date would be and I didn't really want to wait for a while until Apple announces a release date, so I just went with the Pro. Personally, if you want something modern with a new design and a new pencil then I would highly go for the Air over the iPad 8th Gen. Yes it is slightly pricey as the iPad Air 3 had the starting price of $499 or £479 and now it's a £100 more for the 64GB option... Apple can you stop with the 32GB and 64GB options and charging people a fortune. At least could you do a 128GB as a middle ground in the future?
    I digress, for students out there that want a slightly bigger screen over the 8th Gen and a new user experience, as well as taking advantage of the double-tap feature on Apple pencil 2 (which it's really handy when you're doing long note-taking sessions and lectures) go for the Air in either the 64GB or 256GB. If you really have to, then go for the 8th Gen but my advice is don't really go for the 8th Gen if you can avoid it.
    Hope this helps and again, thank you, Janice. Been watching a few of your videos for a while, really helpful study tips in each of the ones I've watched :)

In general, I like the design of the air more and especially the 2nd gen pencil is just more practical with the magnets. And at some time I could upgrade to the magic keyboard maybe.

    I got the Air 4 and I love it. No regrets in shelling out more on this one. It feels like I’m using the pro version already. If you don’t mind the price, go for the Air 4. But if you’re on a tight budget, it’s better to buy the Air 3rd gen instead of the 8th gen since the specs of the previous iPad Air still wins over the latest budget iPad for nearly the same price.

    I am struggling so hard between these too! All I care about is if it would be good for drawing. The iPad 8 is in my budget range but the iPad Air 4 seems so much easier to draw with

      I ended up buying a cheaper option on eBay and an apple pencil from eBay as well. Both only $20 and works really well.

    I went for the iPad 8. Partly because I went to my local BestBuy and found that the iPad Air is sooo much heavier in comparison to the iPad Pro/iPad.
