Is it a good time to buy this iPad? Microsoft office for mac free. Apple launched the 9.7-inch iPad in March of 2018 so it's currently in what might be called the mid-point of its cycle. However, Apple doesn't follow a strict refresh guideline, and we may not see another update for a year or more. Right now is still a good time to buy the 9.7-inch iPad. Reasons not to buy • Only 2GB of memory • Not as powerful as the Pro line The 9.7-inch iPad bridges the gap between mobile computing and cost The beauty of tablet computing is just how well it fits into a multitude of different situations. You can use an iPad to draw or take notes, create presentations for your class, play games, film or snap photos with the iSight camera, read novels, correct term papers, chat with your faraway family, or any other number of activities suited to a multi-touch computer.

As such, the perfect iPad for most people has to fit into a lot of use cases: It needs to be fast. It needs to have enough storage. It needs to work with accessories that make it a better computer, like Bluetooth. It should have a solid screen for both text and photographs, and stereo speakers for watching video or playing music. Apple's 2018 9.7-inch iPad fits the bill — all in a compact 1.03-pound package and ten hours of battery life. Previous 9.7-inch iPad models were either too pricey (as with the 2016 9.7-inch iPad Pro) or too feature-limited (like the 2017 base-model iPad), but this 2018 base model is the best of both worlds: It offers enough advanced features to satisfy any entrant into tablet computing — including full Apple Pencil support — without an outrageous price point.

Apple's 2018 9.7-inch iPad fits the bill — all in a compact 1.03-pound package and ten hours of battery life. And let's highlight Apple Pencil for a moment. Even though the 9.7-inch iPad doesn't have the iPad Pro's advanced screen refresh technology, writing and drawing on it with Apple Pencil is still an excellent experience. Combine that with Apple's recently-updated iWork suite and a gigantic array of third-party apps, and you can plan, draw, write, sketch, or color to your heart's content. Using Apple Pencil still doesn't feel exactly like drawing on paper, but the company is inching ever-closer to that goal. The 2018 9.7-inch iPad also gets a super-powered processor in the form of the A10: It's the processor from the iPhone 7 lineup, and it blasts the base-model iPad line into the present.

It's also paired with Apple's M10 motion co-processor and 2GB of RAM — not as much memory as iPad Pro, but enough to get the job done. Though the iPad's minimum storage size is 32GB, we're still reticent to recommend the baseline option unless you're really pinching pennies. Between apps, drawing creations, offline music, photo libraries, and downloading video, 128GB is a much more reasonable storage tier for most users — though this may also open you up to paying for more to back up said iPad. You can get a top-of-the-line 2018 iPad and Apple Pencil for just over $500 (U.S.). Given that the iPad Pro's 64GB base model starts at almost $300 more — without accessories — it's an easy recommendation to make for most anyone interested in tablet computing. Alternatives to the 9.7-inch iPad Pro If you need something with more power, you should absolutely consider an upgrade to the iPad Pro lineup. The 2018 model sports an edge-to-edge display, Face ID, and a True Depth front-facing camera for Portrait Mode selfies.
