Thinking of buying Ipad!
Hey folks, I am thinking of buying Ipad 10th Gen, wi-fi, 256 Gb configuration. Primarily I was thinking of using the same to study and do research around new technology for eg to read new research papers and all. Those who are using it, is it enough useful, what are your thoughts? This might just be style quotient and spending around 65k might not worth it, so confused here! Any suggestions?
I got the tab s8 a year back for the same reason. Choose it over the iPad as the tablet+keyboard cover+pen combo was cheaper and I could side load pirated PDFs and ebooks and Samsung dex.
I like it. The tablet is well made. The keyboard cover could be better but I would say it's still better than the base iPad one.
Only con till now is the standby time as Android usually has a worse standby time than iOS but the onscreen usage is good.
Some apps don't take advantage of the tablet form factor so may look a bit weird like the Twitter app when compared to on the iPad.

don't buy. Instead buy any laptop that splits from the keyboard if your budget is high. If not, get any normal tablet. Even your phone is enough to read any research paper. An ipad is a luxury product to show off with very little RoI.
During lockdown in 2020, I was binge watching procreate drawing videos and end up ordering iPad and apple pencil. So far I have installed procreate and use it hardly 10 times.
iPad has become my second screen to watch netflix while working!
Damn expensive screen!
Go for laptop instead if art is not the primary reason.

I have been using the 12 inch for two years now…Had initially planned to buy the 10.9 inch one but changed my mind in the store due to the bigger screen size.
I usually use it at home at my desk only so portability wasn’t a concern for me
For note taking I have been using GoodNotes
One time cost of the app is around Rs 800
The experience has been great so far

The only use of a tablet after 6 months I have seen is to watch Netflix.
Don’t buy an iPad with Apple Pencil 1 + usb c charging port. Pencil 1 has a lightning port. So you’ll need a connector to charge with usb c port on the iPad. It’s clunky!!
I bought the Tab S8 over the iPad when I was looking to purchase a tablet.
I was getting very little value for my money with an iPad. Samsung was giving pretty much everything Apple offered, and then a lot more. Pencil is included in the box, Samsung DeX is overpowered and I have an entire PC with just the tab, keyboard and a monitor screen.
see if you can wait for the new ipad air which will launched this fall
Buy a laptop instead, will be multipurpose and faster to work on than the iPad. I have been using iPad Mini since more than 10 years now (3 different models) - it has a larger screen than mobile and is more compact to carry around compared to a laptop.
