Apple iPad (11th Generation)

2$349.00 at AmazonIf you're looking for a tablet for everyday needs, the new 11th-generation iPad is your best bet. It's powered by the swift A16 chip, an upgrade from the previous A14 chip, and now starts with 128GB of storage—double the previous model's starting capacity at no extra cost. The design remains consistent with color options in silver, blue, yellow, and pink. It excels in various internal metrics, but note that it does not include Apple Intelligence.

For those who don't require Apple Intelligence (and as an iPhone 16 user, I can confirm it's not essential), the 11th-gen iPad offers ample power and performance for everyday tasks like gaming, browsing, video streaming, social media, and email. It's built to handle these activities smoothly for years to come.

Equipped with the powerful M3 chip, it supports Apple Intelligence, setting it apart from the baseline model. Additionally, it's compatible with a new Magic Keyboard (available at Apple) featuring a row of function keys and a trackpad.
