i want to buy ipad

[limpid glacier]

which ipad to get to replace macbook my budget 1000 euros

[civic prairie]

What will it be used for

[limpid glacier]

school, youtube, gaming, social media, emails, drawing maybe, maths

matematicas

[glossy gyro]

Id get the base iPad

[civic prairie]

Assuming “school” means note taking and other light stuff, you’re looking at an iPad Air

[limpid glacier]

its chip shit

[civic prairie]

Yeah, don’t get the base

It’s awful value

[limpid glacier]

screen shit

[glossy gyro]

Oh ok

[civic prairie]

sounds like you’ve already decided what you want and are just looking for validation

which you will not find from me

[glossy gyro]

I said that because it is capable of multitasking
But forgot no Apple Intelligence lmao

[limpid glacier]

what is validstion

[glossy gyro]

Approval

[limpid glacier]

why i need approve

i want uhh

€1000 ipad

with good chip

[civic prairie]

like I said

[limpid glacier]

nice screen

[civic prairie]

you seem to know what you want already

[limpid glacier]

what is it

i want ipad

[civic prairie]

the only iPad that has any better a screen than the air is the pro

[limpid glacier]

really?

[civic prairie]

but you don’t need a pro based on the workflow you listed

[limpid glacier]

ok

what about the ipad pequeño

[civic prairie]

the what

[limpid glacier]

pequeño

[civic prairie]

in English please

[limpid glacier]

its like

other side of big

[civic prairie]

Mini?

[limpid glacier]

yes

[civic prairie]

That’s an option too if you want a smaller one

[limpid glacier]

i like small ipad

[civic prairie]

Well there you go

[limpid glacier]

is the screen shit or good

[civic prairie]

Effectively the same as on the air

[silk zinc]

If you want a good 11” or 13” iPad, it’s the Air
If you want something even smaller, like an 8”, then get the iPad mini.

[limpid glacier]

oh ok i might get mini as it less money

[glossy gyro]

Btw @limpid glacier do you expect yourself to write on the ipad

Since you said it's for school

[limpid glacier]

yes

[limpid glacier]

yes

ipad pro might be good but idk if €1000 is enough

[glossy gyro]

You should probably get an Apple Pencil or an alternative

[limpid glacier]

ok

pencil is lápiz yes?

[civic prairie]

I’d stick to the Apple pencils

[limpid glacier]

yes pencil lápiz

[civic prairie]

If you want a cheaper one just get the USB-C

[limpid glacier]

ok

[silk zinc]

But if you want full functionality get a Pencil Pro

[civic prairie]

Yes

[limpid glacier]

ipad pro is good but i dont know if €1000 enough

ipad mini is good

as less money

[silk zinc]

The Pro is very solid. That said, an Air would still be a good option, and the mini is perfect if you want something more compact

[limpid glacier]

ok, mini is good as i hear ipad air screen bad

[silk zinc]

The iPad Air screen is actually pretty good, you’d be surprised

[limpid glacier]

really?

https://www.apple.com/es/shop/buy-ipad/ipad-mini/128gb-gris-espacial-wifiycellular

[silk zinc]

Yup. It’s not gonna be as good as the Pros with its OLED but the LCD on the Airs and minis are still quite good

[limpid glacier]

is this good?

[civic prairie]

That’s the mini with cell

[limpid glacier]

yes celular

i want to use it outside

[civic prairie]

Assuming that’s intentional then, yeah

[limpid glacier]

€719

[glossy gyro]

OLEDs are unnecessary for me tbh

Anyways I'm wondering, what makes you not want to use your existing MacBook for school?

[silk zinc]

Depends on your use case and needs tbh. The LCD on the Airs, minis, and older Pros are still quite good.

[limpid glacier]

with renovación with macbook its €314

IT IS NICE

[limpid glacier]

i use finger

to use screen

[glossy gyro]

Touchscreen is more intuitive, valid 👍

[glossy gyro]

True!

[limpid glacier]

what is chip

of ipad min

[silk zinc]

I’m considering getting cellular for my next iPad because I’ve been using mine on the go quite a lot lately, and hotspot causes my phone to drain battery at an insane rate

[glossy gyro]

A17

[silk zinc]

The newest iPad mini uses the A17 Pro, which is quite good. It’s not as powerful as the M4 in the newest Air but it’s still quite good and runs all the newest iPadOS features and apps just fine.

[limpid glacier]

is it better than my macbook chip

[glossy gyro]

You can see on the apple website

[glossy gyro]

To find out what is your current MacBook

[silk zinc]

What MacBook model do you have? You can check by going to the Apple Menu > About This Mac

[glossy gyro]

Like the year and size

[glossy gyro]

@silk zinc do your job, I cant rn

[civic prairie]

In most cases no

In other specific cases, slightly yes

[limpid glacier]

hmm ok

[silk zinc]

Yeah the A17 Pro isn’t gonna quite match the M2 but it’s still quite close.

I’d consider getting the Air if you’re looking for power.

[limpid glacier]

my budget €1000

is ipad air good

[civic prairie]

The air is the solid middleground choice yes

[limpid glacier]

ok @silk zinc say screen not shit

i might get then

€414 with renovación

ipad air

[glossy gyro]

Okay so to wrap up are you getting an iPad Air M4 with Apple Pencil USBC?

[limpid glacier]

ye

[limpid glacier]

i am estudiante

discount?

[glossy gyro]

Likely yes

If you're going to collage (idk what it's called in Spain)

[silk zinc]

Pro tip: I’d also consider getting 256 GB especially for future proofing.

The iPad Air M4 with cellular and 256GB costs €949. So just within your budget, though the pencil may make it slightly over budget so I’d also look at a refurbished M2 or M3 model with 256GB and cellular if possible.

[limpid glacier]

€633 with renovación

[limpid glacier]

universidad - university
colegio - high school
escuela - elementary

[glossy gyro]

What's the third word

[limpid glacier]

you give something

and u get discount

for the thing u buy

that is renovación

[glossy gyro]

Oh a discount

[limpid glacier]

yes

for my macbook

i get value €405

in renovacio

so €405 discount

[glossy gyro]

Oh in English it's Trade In

[limpid glacier]

trading in?

trade in?

ahh ok

[glossy gyro]

What you described is exactly that

[limpid glacier]

ok

[glossy gyro]

You trade in your old MacBook for a discount on your new device

[limpid glacier]

ye

[glossy gyro]

Which one are you attending/soon to attend

[limpid glacier]

universidad

university

[glossy gyro]

Should be fine

How much is an ipad air in your home country with education discount

[limpid glacier]

€423 education discount trade in price

[limpid glacier]

€423 with trade in

[glossy gyro]

Have you verified your trade in value?

[limpid glacier]

yes

it say trade in value €405

[glossy gyro]

Is it an estimate?

I'm assuming you're looking at a website

[limpid glacier]

what that means

[limpid glacier]

apple website

[glossy gyro]

They need to review the condition of your MacBook Air before finalising the price

What you are looking at is likely an online estimate

[limpid glacier]

i have an apple store near me

i go to it?

[glossy gyro]

Not necessarily
From what I remembered you ship your old device to a facility where technicians will inspect the device before confirming the trade in price

You could still go to an apple store, what I described is if you decide to ship the device for trade in

[limpid glacier]

hmm

ok

[glossy gyro]

Also since you have an apple store near you why not go there and ask for their recommendation(s)

[limpid glacier]

30 minutos

[glossy gyro]

Im sure they would give you a much localised answer (cuz the advice is more globalised)

[limpid glacier]

and it is closed

[glossy gyro]

Do you have it's address/operating hours

[limpid glacier]

10:00 to 22:00

[glossy gyro]

Can you check with https://www.apple.com/es/retail/

Should be the Spanish website

Then use your location

[limpid glacier]

ok, i found it

10:00 to 22:00

open time

[glossy gyro]

Ye you could visit there when it opens and askone of the staff

[limpid glacier]

ok, gracias

thanks

[limpid glacier]

last thing

m4 is better than my macbook

chip

right?

this one say

apple m2

so m4 better than m2

yes?

[glossy gyro]

Yes

[limpid glacier]

ok
