thinking of investing in an ipad
Never owned 1 before so been having a nose on line as you do
a decent entry level looks like the ipad 6 gen 2018 for £320
anyone on here own one and if so is it good and value for money ?
is it worth the dosh going for the ipad pro as a newbie ?
can't see why you would want a pro.Quote:

If you get a wifi only version then obviously it'll only work when connected to wifi. You can get one with a sim card to allow internet access when out and about but that needs a contract or a pay as you go sim with a few gig of data on it.
I prefer a laptop for working on documents and spreadsheets but i can do them on the ipad if I had to.
Only worth getting an ipad if you have apple everything else, otherwise I'd be looking at an android one.
Go on Apple web page and check out refurbished stock. You’ll get a good bargai there and well worth the money. Go for one.Quote:

John Lewis are pretty good too, sometimes they up the guarantee to 3 years from 2. I took my old 16g one in on the last day of the 3 year warranty because the blue tooth wasn’t working, first they gave me a refurb, that didn’t work so good, when I took that back I got a new 32g next gen one instead.
Don't buy anything Apple, they are total rip off. Buy any Android, eg Samsung-half the price and just as good.
get the oldest that accepts the latest iOS, currently the iPad mini 4
New from about £310 and 2nd user ( refurbed ) from £200 ish
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Apple-iPa....c100506.m3226
£220 quid
I always recommend clients ( be them from my window cleaning or my IT stuff ) always buy to try, that £200 will resell if you do not get on with it for roughly the same money in 6 months time, you might get it, put it in the drawer and never use it
took the plunge and bought the 32GB 6 gen version
now the tricky bit work out how to use it -lol
Never buy Apple products.

Go to App Store and download all the apps you want
Just ask if you need help

a tidy bit of kit i must say
