Not sure if you should get Apple's new iPad? Here's everything you should know:
A few generations ago, Apple added support for its Smart Keyboard Folio, which transforms this machine into a laptop, of sorts. It's a pricey addition , but it allowed me to ditch my MacBook Pro on less hectic workdays.
I can't say I would willingly switch to using it as a permanent work machine though. My brain doesn’t mesh well with multitasking. Yes, it‘s nice to have two apps open at once in split-screen mode, but I typically have five or six simultaneously sprawled across my MacBook Pro. Muscle memory and free-flowing apps on MacOS just help me work a lot quicker.
That's not to say this isn't a capable machine. It had zero trouble with my day-to-day tasks, such as browsing on Safari, messaging on Slack and iMessage, video calling on Zoom, and listening to music on Spotify. Apple bumped the chip to the A13 Bionic this year, which is the same as the one in the iPhone 11. It might be two years old, but I barely noticed a difference alongside the new A15 Bionic in the iPad Mini.Battery life can be iffy at times.
I also squeezed out seven hours when streaming a show on Netflix . However, on a day with long Zoom calls and using the iPad as a second screen for my MacBook, the battery died after three hours. Ouch. It should manage a work or school day just fine, but it'll naturally vary based on what exactly you're doing.
The ninth-gen iPad isn't all that exciting, but it can pretty much handle most of the same tasks you'd run on its pricier siblings. It's just about the most powerful tablet in its price range, and it has the most tablet-optimized apps that make it nicer to use
