Best IPAD for school? (2 Viewers)

Hi!
I'm looking for an IPAD that's really cheap and great for school! I'll just be using it to take notes and nothing else. Is there any models you recommend?

If you are looking for an ipad thats cheap, then I would steer away from the ipad pros. Personally i use the ipad air, but even then itll be 1.2k with apple pencil. If thats too expensive, then i would go for the normal ipad. its like 700 or smthing i think, but with the apple pencil till be close to 900. Another option is to go for a second hand/previous model I think those go for even cheaper at 500 (w/o apple pencil).

Honestly speaking if its jsut for notes and nothing else, then any ipad would work, just depends how much you are willing to pay. I would even recommend getting a samsung tablet or smthing cus apple is overpriced lol

I think apple offers student discounts, but you will have to check ( i got mine when there was an uni discount, came with like 10% off and free airpods)

hope taht helps

Thank you!! If I don't get the apple pencil but another iPad pen which is cheaper from office works or jb-hi-fi would that work as well? I might stick to apple cause I have an apple phone so I can easily air-drop, etc.

For the apple ipads, do you recommend any generations?

okk!! thank you!! Do you think 64GB is too much or too little? Cause I'll also be downloading Notion, google calendar etc just like all the study apps.

if its solely for note taking, any gen works, the newer generations just offer faster loading/newer interface. I can only comment on the ipad air cus ive only used that so far, but i wld say its pretty good.

From what I've read, people use IPads to mindmap, not necessarily for notes. Realistically though, I've heard its more effective to mindmap anyways rather than making notes

9th gen ipads are decent for cheap, or you could try to snag a previous generation ipad pro on clearance. ipad 10th gen is a bad deal, an ipad air is alright

Here's a hack most of you guys may or may not know, you guys have a Onedrive account given by the Department of Education, it allows you to store up to 1TB of stuff which is A LOT. So yeah make use of it, you can download the app on your iPad and store all your files in there.

lets be honest tho, thats gonna be highly moded. I remember a dude from a previous cohort who lost all his resources from hs and even some med cvs bc the onedrive ACC was cancelled without warning aft he graduated\

Also, onedrive is mid. Invest in google drive. the program when u download it on ur computer is genuinely amazing bc it saves into your c-drive but uses virtual storage.

i mean its kinda obvious that it will be deleted when u graduate, you should always have a backup anyway if its important

well that happens to everything, your whole education account gets shut down and they don't tell when, but when you go to uni they'll give you provide you with another onedrive (mine is 5TB lmao) so you can just move your files across. Also doesn't google drive have a limit of like 15GB?

yeah fair enough.
