iPad Buyer's Guide

Apple officially unveiled two new tablets, iPad Air and iPad Pro, this month, and although these two products are not favored by the Internet, there are still a large number of users rushing to buy them when they are first released.

So with the release of the new iPad, when the price of the old iPad is adjusted, I will talk to friends who still don't know much about the iPad product line and don't know which one to choose.

First of all, the iPads currently on sale by Apple are divided into the following models, and they are clearly positioned:

· iPad 10 from 2999 RMB (64GB)

A14 processor, 10.9-inch screen, positioned as an entry-level tablet

· iPad mini 6 售价 3999 元起（64GB）

A15 processor, 8.3-inch screen, positioned as a mid-range small-screen tablet

· iPad Air M2 售价 4799 元起（128GB）

Two screen sizes to choose from, 11 inches and 13 inches

M2 desktop processor, positioned as a mid-to-high-end tablet

· iPad Pro M4 售价 8999 元起（256GB）

Two screen sizes to choose from, 11 inches and 13 inches

M4 desktop processor, positioned as a flagship tablet

First of all, the positioning of Apple products is very accurate, these four tablets on sale have a clear positioning, don't expect any cost-effective existence, Apple is a penny, only suitable for yourself, there is nothing cost-effective.

First of all, among these four tablets, iPad mini 6 basically doesn't have to think about it for ordinary users, the price is too expensive, the screen is very small, and it hasn't been updated for too long, unless you just want to buy a small tablet to play games, and you don't care about the cost performance at all.

Ordinary users only need to consider the iPad 10, iPad Air and iPad Pro, and the difference between these three products is also very large.

· iPad 10

iPad 10 is Apple's most entry-level and cheapest tablet, of course, it is also the worst, Apple also reduced the price to 2999 yuan a few days ago, but it was to buy 3599 before.

The only slot of the iPad 10 is this non-fully bonded screen, which will be very uncomfortable for people with sensitive perceptions, but if you can accept this uncomfortable screen, then the iPad 10 can still be used on a daily basis.

If you're a girl, or just watching dramas, playing games, and occasionally using it in your daily bag, the iPad 10 is the only option for a low budget at the moment, and the overall experience is actually okay.

· iPad Air M2

The most important slot of the iPad Air M2 is that it doesn't have a high brush screen, and if you're used to the iPhone Pro model and the 120Hz high brush screen, then you might feel a little stuck with this thing.

If you have a budget of 5000, I actually don't recommend you to buy the iPad Air M2, because compared to the iPad 10 above, this thing is actually not much different, it is all fingerprint recognition, the screen size is the same, and the length is also very similar.

Although the M2 chip sounds fierce, the current iPad itself cannot run macOS system applications, and in the hands of 99% of users, it cannot play the performance of M2, but consumes power and heats up quickly.

If you have a budget of 5000, then I recommend you to buy the iPad Pro M1 official version, which is also a 128GB processor, and sells it for 4999 yuan on Apple's official website.

The iPad Pro M1 is very different from the iPad Air M2, and the only thing that is better about the Air is that the M2 chip is more powerful than the M1, but as I said earlier, I don't need it.

iPad Pro M1 has a 120Hz high-quality screen, face recognition unlocking, rear dual camera + radar scanner, Thunderbolt 4 interface, four-speaker speaker, five-microphone array...

· iPad Pro M4

In fact, there are friends with a budget of more than 10,000 yuan, so there is basically no point in looking at my purchase suggestions, money will not go the wrong way, 10,000 Apple is to give you a high-end experience.

iPad Pro M4 has no shortcomings in the Apple tablet, expensive is not its shortcoming, it is my shortcoming, if you are a local tyrant, or a big guy who wants to use iPad to edit 4K RAW multi-segment videos, or a professional painter with a monthly income of tens of thousands, you have no brains to enter this.

If you're neither, then this iPad Pro M4 is basically a dusty end when you buy it, including my own iPad Pro.

---

Actually, my final advice is two:

1: If you have a low budget, or you just want to buy a tablet, you can buy an iPad 10 enough, you can go to a third-party platform (such as Pinduoduo) to see the discount, and buy it at the lowest price.

2: If you have a bit of a budget, after all, the iPad has such a long service life, then the iPad Pro M1 that you can buy from Apple's official website is really very suitable, as for the iPad Air, it is really a very embarrassing product.

Of course, no matter which one you buy, unless you have the hard use needs of the iPad, there is only one end to the iPad, that is, to eat ashes, and charge it when you think about it for half a month.
