1k different you can get -

-better speaker
-better processor
-better camera + flash
-more storage

ask youself,do you need the list above?

for speaker Air2 is already good enough
for processor Air2 powerful enough
for camera,i don't think take photo with ipad so i don't comment
only good for me is the storage.

I would choose ipad Air in term price and pencil really seldom to use. Ipad definitely for surfing net and playing games.

Yup! Lesson learnt when I bought my 5s. 16gb is not enough anymore after iOS 7.
Any idea whether Apple will drop the price for ipad? Like what they did for Mac book. Don't wanna buy now and next week they announce price drop. hmm.gif

Can use for many years. Last year I just upgrade from iPad2 to iPad Air 2.

My old iPad2 is still working fine, full charge still can last 6-7 hours continuously switched on.
iOS upgrade all supported even until current latest version.

Upgrade due to YOLO and slow processor after all these years. I think I use for about 4+ years, without issue. Still can sold it for RM400+ icon_rolleyes.gif

have been deciding between these 2 products too. the pro 9.7 (32gb) and air 2 (64gb), with the price for air 2 64gb being very attractive after a 12% discount on gemfive.com
processor and iOS support should be adequate for normal use

however just not sure whether 32gb would be sufficient in the long run..

any existing users can comment on this? it would be very helpful
thank you

the new ipad pro are much better in term of specs and features. the only cons are the price.

in your case, it is up to you. Air 2 sufficient for normal usage. If u are not using the Pencil, ipad air 2 good enough for u d....

I upgraded from my iPad 3, 3 months ago to an iPad Pro 9.7 inch to do music production. In many cases you would not need so much processing power but in my case every single drop of power was very important as the lack of processing power make my songs laggy when I am editing them. I have to say I'm very impressed by the iPad Pro's ability when it comes to very demanding activities such as what I am doing. I think it depends on what you need for me the extra 1000 ringgit was very worth spending because of how easy it is to use my iPad as a workstation. I think it depends on what you need. For me the extra 1000 ringgit was very worth spending because of how easy it is to use my iPad as a workstation so you got to consider it thoroughly. If you do end up at shelling out the money you will not be disappointed by the iPad Pro anyway, good luck!
