Hello, Since I've had my iPad 9th generation for a year, I can now talk about my experiences with it.
To be completely honest, the iPad wasn't my first tablet. The Samsung Tab4 10.1 was actually a purchase I made seven years ago. I utilized it for gaming and other video-related activities. However, I only purchased the 9th generation iPad for taking notes. I aimed to lower the cost of books and the amount of paper used. I love to organize my notes because I like to take notes. Digital notes are easier to carry and edit, move, or change color. I initially used CollaNote before switching to GoodNotes 5. For my style of usage, GoodNotes is superior.
We just discussed taking notes, so let's talk about my pencil. With a Logitech Crayon pencil, I bought my iPad. I chose Logitech over Apple because it was less expensive and had a better hand grip than the Apple Pencil. But neither a pressure sensor nor a Bluetooth connection to the iPad are present in the Logitech model. Those who want to sketch on their iPad can simply purchase an Apple Pencil. Since there is no pressure sensor, there is no reason to skimp and purchase a Logitech to draw. I can suggest that you buy a Logitech one if you take notes and aren't interested in drawing like I do.
Let's start by discussing weight. If we assume that an iPad weighs the equivalent of two notebooks, then carrying an iPad is simpler than carrying notebooks because you can carry an infinite amount as long as your storage capacity is available. Notebooks can also tear apart over time.
The software on the iPad is ideal or very close to ideal, but why?
The iPad's use of OS X (MacOS right now) is the main distinction from competing devices. If the developer wants, it can run Mac programs instead of just apps. The iPad's touchscreen and Apple's marketing division are to blame for Macs' dislike of the tablet. They added stage manager to iPads this year (especially for m1 and m2 chips), so I didn't get it.
The battery life is excellent. It can be used all day long. But the charging process is too slow. even with an adapter of 20 watts.
All in all, I think my iPad is great. People assume that I am an Apple fanboy. But it's not accurate. I simply adore my iPad. I like using it. The end of that. I appreciate you visiting this page and reading it.
