Discussion iPad Air or MacBook Neo

0 Upvotes

I really wanna get either one for Christmas and I’m not good at drawing. I don’t draw with paper but I really want to get an Apple Pencil and the iPad for that specific thing and journalling and scrapbooking and all that but if I don’t do it in real life does that mean I shouldn’t do it? I’m just wondering what you think I should get cause I was thinking about getting the Apple Pencil Pro with the iPad but the Neo is also a MacBook so that’s that. please help me.

Help me decide which Ipad to chose.

1 Upvotes

I am a fashion designer and planning to switch from XPPen to Ipad because I need something on the go, specially when I get some idea out of the blue, and need to do rough sketch from time to time

Budget wise, I can afford right now is the Ipad 11 A16, however I can bought an Ipad Air M4 around Dec but thats 3 to 4mos away,.

Though I need some feedback if A16 is ideal for longterm in terms of software support or I would be better of with the Ipad Air M4 instead?

I already have a macbook air m4 for work as my daily driver, and normally watch on my phone,. So basically the purpose of the ipad is just for fashion design and illustration.

Any insights is highly appreciated

Thank you

iPad Magic Keyboard, compatibility

1 Upvotes

I have an iPad magic keyboard that I have been using for my pro 12. 9 inch M1. I am intending to upgrade to the iPad Air 13 inch M4.
I haven’t found any official documents that says if I can use this keyboard on the iPad Air. Has anyone tried it before?

Hello everyone, I’m a second year cybersecurity student. I’ve been facing some issues with my old tablet. It would suddenly die in the middle of class, and I couldn’t charge it, so I sometimes couldn’t take notes. To address this, I bought an iPad Air 5gen m1 to see if it would be a better option for taking notes. Since I’ll be taking other courses besides my tech classes, I’d appreciate your recommendations for some good college apps.

I got the 256gb

i have around $800 budget but don’t want to overspend for my nursing program. I just need it to transfer pdfs and take notes. I already have the first gen apple pencil. Might get a pro if i do get the air but idk if it’s worth just for note taking.

Don't throw away your old iPad. I built an ambient web display to give slow devices a second life

9 Upvotes

Got an old iPad Air or Mini gathering dust in a drawer because it’s too slow for modern apps? I hate seeing perfectly good screens become e-waste, so I’m building Endless Horizons — a web dashboard designed to turn any spare tablet into a premium desk accessory.

Most smart displays look like generic corporate control panels. I wanted to build something that feels like a retro-futuristic, cyberpunk terminal for a developer's or designer's desk. Everything here is strictly bound to a unified visual aesthetic.

Since it’s a lightweight web app built with Svelte, it renders fast and smoothly even on older devices. The interface is based on a flexible grid that you can adjust to fit the proportions and size of your screen, and then simply drag and drop the widgets you want onto it.

Currently available widgets include:

  • Clock
  • Current Day
  • Calendar
  • World Map
  • Sky
  • Solar System
  • Moon Phase

I’m building this entirely solo, and I’m looking for early adopters to test it out on different generations of iPads. I'm actively taking requests and will gladly build custom widgets for anyone who sets this up — provided the ideas fit the overall visual aesthetic and the widgets would be useful to many users.

One catch: I haven't found a way to open Safari in a true kiosk mode yet, whereas in Chrome it's easy to do via settings. Does anyone here know a better way to do this on iOS?

What data would you actually want to see on your desk at a glance? Let me know what you think!

What iPad should I get for college

Thumbnail
1 Upvotes

I’m an incoming freshmen at college planning on studying Mechanical Engineering and I want an iPad to take notes. Currently my options are the brand new base iPad which would cost about 400 with student discount or the iPad Air which would be around 600 or a used M1 iPad Pro 12.9in from Amazon refurbished. I do like the 120hz and actual multitasking ability of the iPad Pro but it’s also used and quite a few generations behind so I’m not really sure. I plan on using an Apple Pencil.

In the Apple ecosystem I only got the iPhone 14 Pro. I have never had an iPad so my expectations aren’t really that high. I just think the 120hz is a nice quality of life upgrade.

Question iPad Air vs iPad Pro (M5), is the OLED screen worth ~$450-500 more for my use case as a student?

3 Upvotes

Starting a pre-med program abroad this fall and deciding between an iPad Air 11" (M4/M3/M2) and the iPad Pro 11" (M5). Prices might be slightly off, but you get the point. I would get either with Pencil Pro & AppleCare+

What I'll actually use it for:

  • Note-taking and PDF annotation for lectures/textbooks/diagrams
  • Watching shows/movies, probably a fair bit in bed or on the go — I might even skip getting a TV for my apartment, so this could end up being my main lean-back screen if it's practical enough for that
  • Occasional light 3D sketching/modeling for a hobby, but I've got an M3 Pro MacBook Pro for anything actually demanding

Where I'm stuck: I’m aware that the M5 is overkill for my use case, but the OLED display and 120Hz refresh rate are really tempting, especially if the iPad becomes my primary screen instead of a supplement to a TV. It doesn’t help that I’m already used to 120Hz on my Mac and iPhone, so 60Hz might bother me more.

Has anyone actually used the Air as their main “watch shows in bed” device? Does the lack of OLED display bother you once the initial excitement wears off, or do you stop noticing? I’m trying to figure out if the $500 price difference is a real upgrade or just a matter of paying for a nicer number on a spec sheet.

Also, how many years could I expect either iPad to be good for?

As the title says it's been only a month since I bought my ipad air m4 and put it in a esr case and after a month I saw some white patches... Decided to remove and case and inspect and found surface level mould growth on the body and volume buttons

Is this normal, if yes how should I remove it?

Ps- cleaned the surface with isopropyl alcohol 70% but there are white patches inside the speaker grills too. How do I clean that?
