For most users, the standard iPad (not the Air, Mini, or Pro) stands out as the best choice, offering the full iOS experience and robust performance at a budget-friendly price. This 10th generation model introduces several enhancements over its predecessor, including a larger 10.9-inch display without increasing the device's footprint, thanks to a slimmer bezel. It's powered by the faster A14 Bionic chip, which delivers a 20% boost in CPU performance and a 10% increase in GPU performance compared to the A13. Additionally, it's now compatible with the Magic Folio keyboard, transforming it into a mini laptop ideal for students and professionals alike. Other notable upgrades include a universal USB Type-C port, an improved camera, and support for Wi-Fi 6.

The model currently on sale features 64GB of internal storage and Wi-Fi connectivity (no LTE). All color options—Silver, Blue, Pink, and Yellow—are discounted and set to ship out in November. Opting for a model with more storage or cellular connectivity will significantly increase the cost, so sticking with the base model offers the best value.
