Apple iPad (Wi-Fi, 32GB) - Space Gray (Previous Model)

# Preface: The Generic Tablet Overview # You already know it is an iPad meaning it is an excellent high-quality tablet with tons of feature, good performance, beautiful screen, etc. If you want to buy a tablet, yes buy this or a newer one if your budget allows it. No question about "is the tablet worth it". # Privacy # Also, Apple is big on User Privacy unlike other large companies so better them than some other tablet. # Main: The Art Overview # It is perfect for something twice its price point. You can make comics, portraits, sketches, everything very nicely and professionally on it. And drawing directly on something is so much nicer than drawing on an external tablet like a Wacom and looking at the screen. So why this over the larger newer iPads that support the newer pencil? Price really. This is cheap. And performs like a $1000 piece of hardware. -- Software is Important -- The iPad and Apple Pencil provide all the infrastructure, but to really bring it to professional quality use, you will need good appropriate Apps. Use an App like ProCreate (top-notch all-around art program) or the pricier Clip Studio Pro (premium product for making comics). There are other products that do these things in their own style such as ComicDraw. These really provide a lot of capabilities to make it feel like you are just drawing on paper. Software quality will affect your experience. -- The Artist Questions -- Does it have parallax? I haven't noticed it. It draws the line exactly where you expect it. If there is any, it is incredibly negligible; the glass layer and the screen are pretty tight together. Is there jitter? Not noticeable either. I don't find it my work even when inking a sketch slowly. Is there pressure sensitivity? Yes, plenty of it. How many levels I am not sure but I can get the lines how I want them gradually going from thin to thick. Software can build upon the built-in pressure sensitivity for additional effects. Is there tilt response? Yes. When you tilt your pencil you can shade or draw thicker lines than if you don't. Does it feel like it is gliding on glass? Yes, but I don't find it slippery where I can't control the lines. Doesn't have the same bite of paper where your pencil can come to a dead stop without you needing to hold your hand steady. Here you will need to keep your hand steady as there is no real friction to prevent the pencil from moving further. But it has not affected anything negatively. Do you get a slight tapping sound when lifting and replacing the pencil? Yes, you do. Use a lighter hand for less noise. :) What kind of art can it do? You can essentially do a complete pipeline from gestures and storyboarding, to initial and final sketches to inking to a full color, inked comic page ready to be published. Or a portrait or landscape. The software determines what styles and capabilities it has such as pencil vs chalk vs paintbrush. I highly recommend this product for any artist beginner or intermediate (or advanced even) that is on a budget. # Note # It will take a few sketches and there is a learning curve since it is essentially a different medium. So like controlling a pencil is different than controlling a paint brush. Controlling this pencil is different. So give it a few drawings and invest some hours to get comfortable with it. I started a little clumsier but several hours later it feels as natural as paper.

Like all Apple products I’ve ever owned / used - it just works. I am currently using my iPad in an experiment in portable computing. I work in finance and couldn’t justify the cost of an iPad Pro, nor did I need that level of graphics power. Instead (and always enjoy a challenge) I opted to get the least expensive iPad (2018) with 32GB Ram. I knew I needed only a few apps - primarily word, excel, Microsoft One Drive for iOS and Google Drive. What I have up and running and with using less than 10 of the 32 GB of storage: Microsoft One Drive Google Drive (temporary - migrating from Google to One Drive, so necessary at this time) Safari - native iOS app performs beautifully on my company’s web-based platform Microsoft Word - needs office 365 account for maximum benefit Microsoft Excel - needs office 365 account for maximum benefit Host of other apps - native and third party (like the Amazon App) but not any games, and I don’t store any music, podcasts, movies, or other storage-intensive media. I have used Google Chrome for iOS and it works well, but I prefer the user interface of Safari, so I stuck with that. On iPad, either browser works well and I can see benefits for one over the other and vice-versa, but for my purposes, Safari is fine. I have my iPad connected via Bluetooth to a portable keyboard that I also acquired on Amazon’s website, which makes this work more like a notebook computer overall. I also have a stylus from Amazon that works beautifully since I don’t have a mouse, and I’m not sure I could use one now anyway... when using (now my daughter’s) MacBook Pro, I find myself reaching for the screen to navigate by touch (d’oh!). I have the iPad sync’d to my iPhone for messages and for calls - WiFi calling and calls on my iPhone. Calls are clear, iMessage works great - for iOS and texts forwarded from non-iOS devices. I have my iPhone set up for a WiFi Hotspot when needed. The only thing I “miss” is not having my music and media stored locally. I have this partially addressed by having most of my music in the cloud and music plus all other media stored on an external hard drive that I access through a portable router. Benefits - this weighs less than half what my MacBook Pro weighed, and travel is much easier. Still have to remove the iPad for TSA when going through security, but it’s so much lighter. This has actually been a Godsend of late; my wife had an accident and broke her ankle. I’ve been driving her to appointments for work since I can work remotely, and once again, the iPad is amazing. Paired with my keyboard and iPhone HotSpot and it’s like I’m in the office, only much more convenient. It’s faster than my desktop PC and faster than my former MacBook Pro. Hard as it may be to believe, the iPad feels like it was made to access Google drive and Microsoft One Drive, and I can access files nearly 3x faster than my desktop PC when connected to the same internet. In fact, the iPad is on WiFi and the desktop is wired, and the iPad wins. I can do all my work in the scaled-down iOS apps, or I can use Office.com and log in through Safari and access One Drive and Word and Excel online. There are a couple of features not available in the scaled down iOS versions but they’re not significant enough to deter me from doing all my work on the iPad when necessary. Intuitive controls - gestures and swipes work as they do on a MacBook Pro touchpad. This made the transition way easier. Inexpensive Accessories - Amazon has a host of accessories that work brilliantly with the iPad and have made this transition entirely possible and within a very tight budget. Drawbacks: Charger cable is kind of short. I can buy a third party cable, but I like the way the Apple OE cable performs. I work around it and use the battery and although the cable is short, the battery does last all day for WORK. Streaming Hulu when I should be working? Not so much. Learning Curve: It does take some getting-used to when ditching a Magic Mouse or touch-pad. Allegedly, a future update will give iPad the capability of communicating with a Magic Mouse 2, but I’m not in a hurry to get a mouse. Not having media on-hand all the time. It’s more of an inconvenience than a drawback.

This was written before the Ipad IOS 13 rollout. I owned an Ipad air that was about 5 years old and found out the new IOS would not be included. Thought maybe it was time for a newer upgrade but price was a big issue. Sure I'd like the iPad pro with all of the bells and whistles but the price was out of my budget. I ran across the 6th generation model or the made in 2018 ipad. I think what made this click in for me was the fusion chip 10 which really puts the afterburners in this model in comparison to the ipad air I used to have. I have used 5-10 tablets and this is no comparison to the rest in terms of speed. If you are looking for a bigger screen Apple is coming out with 10.2 inch screen Oct 1 2019. For an extra $100 bucks that might be an option. For me that was too much for all of the tablets that I have. The gold is quite stylish while the ease of use is top notch. My only complaints are the AC adapter useage. When I am done with the tablet I power off and then want to plug into wall. The tablet then turns on. I then have to turn the machine off. Minor annoyance but have to get used to leaving the machine on and then plugging it into the wall before logging off. The other minor nusance is the power on. It takes about 5 or six seconds while holding the power button for the ipad to power on. I would love to see and push of the button and on it goes but it doesn't work that way. I guess when I think about it all of them are similar in that respect. This is the first tablet that I have had where apps that come with the tablet can be erased if you don't want them. Also this has 32GB which is a great comfort compared to the 16gb I was used to. Also many similarities to the older versions. For others in my household I don't think they would even notice the difference except that this runs faster. The software apps all look great. The sound is much better on this compared to my old iPad air. I was really locked into an external speaker until I started using this now I find that the iPad speakers are good enough. They are quite nice. Same lightning plug in for power. IOS 12 I have always been happy with. Love the screen time figures. Haven't tried the apple pencil. Its too expensive for me to just play around with so I'm not sure I will use that feature. The downloads, uploads, backups are very fast. I'm sure the review types will change with the upcoming IOS 13 at the end of September but for now this is an affordable iPad that runs very fast with the new chip. Would definitely recommend at this price point.

This is a great tool for all the people who want to increase efficiency and productivity during work and study! You can download any app from the Apple Store, and you can obtain excellent usage experiences which are supported by the most advanced A10 Fusion chip. In addition, the 9.7-inches retina screen enable you gain the most precise color experiences. If you are a student majoring in engineering, you can use WolframAlpha to faster solve problems; if you want to attempt to draw, you can use ProCreate to paint your masterpiece; if you just want to relax during free time, there are thousands of games available in the Game Center. Functions: As a tablet PC, you can utilize iPad to handle almost all the general projects especially after equipping an Apple pencil. According to Tim Cook’s idea, the advanced technology will replace the paper media in one day, and Apple will be the pioneer during this process. You can write notes, draw sketches, and handle multiple tasks on my screen. In addition, this iPad also inherits all the iPad functions from previous versions. Durability: I have been using Apple products for over eight years, and I just changed my iPad Air to iPad 2018 this year. However, my previous iPad Air still has perfect conditions and functions and I replaced my iPad due to great budgets during Black Friday. In this way, you can trust the quality stability of the new iPad. In addition, I used iPad to watch two movies for four hours and play games for two hours until ran out of its power after receiving it. You will very satisfy its battery durability since it has longest battery life compared with the Android devices I used before. Compatibility and Convenience: The iPad is compatible with the software of iPhone, and iPad has its own developed apps version since iPad 2 (eight years ago). In this way, iPad has a mature software supply chain. When I go to class or meet with colleagues, iPad can directly replace my laptops. You can put your iPad inside the women handbags and men briefcases, and you can take it everywhere you want since it only weighed 652 grams, which equal to the weight of two oranges! In conclusions, the iPad 2018 is a mature product that combinates virtues and improves defects of previous generations. Even though many people comment that the iPad 2018 does not excess iPad Pro, the price of the iPad 2018 is only half of the prices for that of the iPad Pro. It will be the best workmate with great budgets, and you will find that it worth every penny you spend on it!

I've been wanting an ipad, and I know these things can be expensive. High prices don't always justify the product. If you look around you can find a ton of quality tablets that range from cheap to mega expensive. I had experience with some of the cheaper models and they do work, I just wanted something that was a little bit more. I like objects with larger screen sizes then a cellphone, and I like my system to run programs and games in an efficient manner. I don't want to see the games lag, and I don't want to see the system struggling everytime I ask it do something that I think the system was meant to do. That being said, I'm not going to load up a bunch of top end high resource mega programs on this thing. I knew going in that I wanted to be able to watch movies, play free to download tablet games, read books, check email, watch youtube, check on my amazon orders and look at websites and the news. IPADs are not ereaders. If you read books more then you surf the internet, you can get a really top end ereader for slightly less, but the machine only does electronic books. This ipad is multifunctional. It does electronic books, games or internet stuff very well. If you don't own a tablet, start with one of these. They're a total pleasure to use. My wife does own an IPAD air from many years back, and her ipad runs tremendously well. Buy an ipad because you want something portable. Buy an ipad because you want to pull up stuff quickly (like cooking videos in the kitchen) and that you can use on airplanes or while inside of a library. Ipads are great for checking out electronic books for free. Ipads don't work great outdoors, so don't expect to see things well outside. Know what you're getting when you buy this, and you'll be very pleased with this product. It's a great value for the money, and you won't be disappointed. I'm in love.

I bought this for myself to see if a tablet oriented workflow could work for me at the office and at home. I didn’t want to spend iPad Pro money yet. But I needed the ability to take notes by hand and organize them. The price before Christmas was rediculously good so I purchased and have been happy. Pros: -price - iPad under $300 -Good display -A10 Chip is plenty powerful for entry level and beyond. -Works with Apple Pencil (series 1) -Compatible with all my iOS apps already purchased for iPhone. -Relatively seameless is ntegration with iPhone and iCloud. Cons: -Although pencil works well it is a bit noisy especially if you print as opposed to write cursive. The air gap between the screen and display magnifies the tapping sound and has a bit of a hollow feel. Also it is only the first gen pencil that’s supported so you will have cap/charger/adapter situation that is far less sexy than the new pencil that only works with iPad Pro. If you are someone going to use the pencil a ton you should check out lowest price iPad Pro and the new Apple Pencil in person and compare. Storage - 32 GB might not be enough depending on your use case. I don’t plan to store photos or video locally for the most part. Those are on my 128 gb iPhone. So 32GB is fine for me. WiFi only - obviously you know that up front but you will find that on the go, places you expect to have WiFi will have dead spots and using your phone as a hotspot while ok is not always seamless coverage. Keeping in mind that with just 32 GB and a desire to share between devices you will likely be storing more and more data on the cloud. If you need 99%+ uptime reliable connectivity you might want to consider broadband cellular + WiFi. Bottom line: A real iPad with pencil support and an upgraded processor for well under $300. Big thumbs up. Full time pencil users and power users might want to look to more memory models, cellular or low end pro models.

You can never go wrong with an iPad. The performance is incredibly smooth, the screen quality is top-notch, and the battery life lasts all day. It’s perfect for multitasking—I use it for work, managing my brand, and also for entertainment. It's very intuitive and easy to use for everyone in the family. Whether for professional tasks or staying connected with loved ones, it’s a solid investment. Highly recommended!

Ordered the new iPad because the sale was too good to let go. I had wanted the iPad Apple Pencil pair, so being able to get both for the price of just the iPad after tax was worth it. Apple got us, yet again. Not that I mind though, I love my apple products. This iPad is a great example. I will primarily be using it for digital art/graphic design/photo editing adobe type programs. I’ve used half the Wacom models, including the cintique. Haven’t had a chance to use the new iPad Pro and pencil, but for the more affordable version, this earns all 5 stars. #1, gorgeous screen, easy to set up, easy to use right out of the box. Set up is even easier now if you have another apple device. The setup prompt me to grab an apple device logged into my account already. From there I entered my passcode on my phone, before I knew it the iPad was asking if I wanted all my apps brought over, or if I wanted to start fresh. They took what I thought was already a pretty easy process thanks to iCloud, and made it even more user friendly. #2, it feels like the money you spent. Unlike other android devices I have attempted, iOS devices have never let me down in the quality department. This being said, it’s not as light as the kindle fire or what have you, but it’s going to last longer and be a more enjoyable experience over all for the extra couple of ounces. It’s not heavy compared to my MacBook, which is why I have it. Fits in my purse while still being a gorgeous screen to watch movies on. Retina displays will change your life, and ruin every other screen you look at. #3, the Apple Pencil. I get it now. And do not regret a single penny spent. The pressure sensitivity, accuracy of the accelerometer, how fast it charges, and how the pen to screen experience is closer to paper than anything I’ve ever used. I’m talking Wacom Cintique level accuracy on a tablet. It feels unreal. I love my moleskines more than the next person, but I’m worried they might be getting less use in the coming months just because this is so user friendly. I’ll be sure to add battery details or any updates, but those 3 alone were enough to sell me on the purchase.

Excelente produto. A entrega foi rápida, tudo dentro do esperado.
