This iPad is good enough to be excellent, especially for the price. This is a really cool tablet – there is no apparent compromise with performance, it comes with large screen size, good battery life, and it's easy to expand with the keyboard cover or Apple Pencil. One of its new strengths is that it does not feel cut back when you are using it. This iPad is still very fast, slick slate. This is one good tablet to look out for. Although not much different from the last model of iPad 9.7, which now works on iPadOS as well, this seventh-generation iPad is still pretty good at the basics. For most people, all they need is this tablet, a speedy Apple A10 processor, a sharp 10.2-inch screen, and a lot of apps are that make the difference.

iPad Pro (2020)

This is one of the best tablets you can buy, super-fast, improved cameras, long battery life, and trackpad support. But it's not yet a great alternative to the laptop. This iPad Pro has been similar to a tablet on steroids, beating many laptops on battery life and speed, but definitely not on computing comfort. IPad Pro 2020 also improve in the performance area with its new A12Z Bionic chip with an 8-core graphics engine and a new dual-camera system that comes with a very wide lens and a LiDAR scanner that provides a more responsive AR experience.

Generally, I highly recommend the iPad Pro 12.9 for anyone who needs a tablet first before a laptop. The Magic Keyboard is the accessory iPad Pro users want when they want to type. This is almost a game-changing accessory for the world's most versatile tablet.

iPad Mini (2019)

This is Apple's most portable iPad, and it's very powerful for its size. This iPad has a bright 7.9-inch screen that works with Apple Pencil with a chipset that outperforms the small tablets competition. This iPad Mini is a pretty cool portable tablet and can be filled with apps that make it more of a gaming tablet or graphics tablet, but its smaller size may not be suitable for people you want to use it as a laptop replacement.

This is a very reliable tablet, and for a certain type of user, this is more important than a slimmer bezel and thinner profile. If you are looking for a small tablet that doesn't back down on performance, the iPad mini does not have much competition. Most importantly, you can feel comfortable buying this mini and not have to upgrade for a few years. This is a good thing; especially when you consider the fact that the last Apple's mini device went three years without an update.
