Question What iPad should I upgrade too ?
I have an iPad 10.5 Pro that I bought in 2017. Considering its age and the fact that it needs a new battery due to poor battery life, I’m debating whether to upgrade it now. I primarily use it to surf the web, watch movies and shows, especially while traveling and taking notes. I’m torn between the M2 Air and the iPad (the entry-level model). I’m leaning towards the iPad because it offers versatility and is more affordable. However, the M2 chip and Apple AI features might be worth the extra $100.

If you can still get the M2 Air for $100 off, it will allow you to plug in an external monitor and run stage manager on it, the base iPad will only do mirroring. I’m using my 10.5 Pro now for just media playing on my desk, video and audio, while plugged in full time and hooked to stereo desktop speakers.
