Apple iPad (A16)

Best forWeb, video, schoolwork and everyday tablet use

The A16 iPad handles the jobs most people buy a basic tablet for. Its non-laminated 60Hz screen and lack of Apple Intelligence are the main reasons to consider an Air instead. Pencil and keyboard compatibility deserve a check before purchase, because accessories can change the total cost considerably.
