@DeekshitaP adding to this, if it’s going to be your only device along with your phone, you can justify the price.
Out of Samsung and Apple, I’d say go for the iPad. In my view Apple has perfected how a tablet should function.
If you need a keyboard then you could go for a generic aftermarket Bluetooth one.
I use the older model and I don’t face any glaring issues. However, in technology 4 years is a long time, so I’d advise that buying the newer model would be worth it. Also, the 128 GB model would be more than enough as it’s better to have a cloud subscription for backups.
If you can afford it, then go for it.
@DeekshitaP oh yeah totally worth it just for the peace of mind alone. I now don’t have to worry about losing any of my notes or any data. For notes you can workaround with using Google Drive as backup but it’s a bit wonky since it tends to not work always.
I learned the value of backing up the hard way when I lost all my notes because I couldn’t remember my passcode (in a stupid panic attack) and had to reset the device, losing all data.
So now the only thing is people to get is some sort of cloud backup.
I agree the pencil is heavy and it’s even changed my on paper handwriting since I tend to do all my rough work on the iPad itself. The newer one is much better: lighter and with a far superior grip.
