which iPad should you buy there are a lot of choices and a lot of prices right now for Apple's iPad lineup small large and extra extra-large the iPad pro is the newest and the biggest but are you interested in an iPad you're curious what the differences are it's easy to understand if you break it down this way for kids or basic reading and browsing pick an iPad Mini it's the most affordable iPad line and the 8 inch mini - formerly called the iPad Mini with Retina display is the cheapest still good came out back in 2013 it said price drops since then you get the same resolution as the iPad air shrunken there's an a7 processor which is still good no touch ID if you want to get a little bit more expensive go with the iPad Mini 4 which has touch ID a faster AAA processor and can handle split-screen multitasking for supported apps if you're looking for the best bang for the buck all-around tablet in Apple's lineup this year it's still in my opinion the iPad air 2 it's got the best size it's pretty much the best for nearly everything the basic person would need it still runs faster than the iPad menu 4 and you get it on sale for less than before if you look around and holiday shopping the larger nine point seven inch screen is good for reading movies and it still works great when paired with the keyboard case like this one too right on the go split-screen apps run perfectly to Apple still sells the iPad air for even less than the iPad air 2 but we don't recommend that one it's got a slower processor and basically for the sales you can get right now go for the air 2 because it also adds split-screen apps now if you're an artist or your laptop replacement hopeful someone who wants the biggest and best right now the iPad pro is the one it's 12 point 9 inches though so it's gigantic and it's expensive nearly the cost of a laptop it loses some of that portability but its biggest advantages are the separately sold pencil which turns the iPad pro into an incredibly accurate versatile art bad like nothing you've ever seen before and that big screen and it stepped up speakers do make for a fantastic movie watching or James and you can look at documents or websites in greater detail just keep in mind that the iPad pro doesn't have that many optimized apps yet and if you're interested in keyboards the keyboards that connect to this still don't have track pads and aren't all that much better than what you could get on the iPad air or air 2 so in conclusion for most people I recommend the iPad air 2 if you really like to travel you like to read get the mini and if you like something that's a laptop replacement or you'd like to be an early adopter save up for the pro possibly and I wouldn't really consider LTE unless somebody else is paying the bill you can always pair one of these over Wi-Fi with your phone and hotspot mode for seeing it I'm Scott Steiner
