Hey guys.
I am planning to buy this IPAD 2017.
But its now storage wars, 32gb vs 128gb.
My sole purpose is to play games (Asphalt 8: Airborne types of games) and watch youtube videos..
Any thoughts?

32gb enough since you dont mention storing videos on the device. I own a 32gb one,still left around 20gb with some games.

Yea i dont store videos,as i have my own laptop for that.
But i am sure i will be installing lots of games inside, perhaps 10gb or so will be taken up..
How about others?

If you're planning to use it for a few years, you might want to consider getting the 128 gb one.  You might find that you'd have more things to store and install as time passes.

Not sure how long yet but what are the "more things to store" that could possibly occur?
what are your experiences? nod.gif

For me, i plan to use my ipad until it dies on me laugh.gif so i got the 128gb.  I tend to store a lot of photos, music, movies etc etc. 
I've got the 3rd gen ipad, 32gb, and i find it's not enough  biggrin.gif .  I have been using it for almost 5 yrs.  smile.gif

Pricing is the culprit of my hesitation.
32GB - RM1549
128GB - RM1999.
Does it worth to pay RM450 just for the additional 96GB? I fret not, a 128GB SSD cost nearly half of it.

Photos.. I have been always finding it funny to hold a 10" device to snap pictures! rclxms.gif

Yea...the cost difference is significanr.  For me, i feel it's worth it coz I believe it's always good to have extra space and not having to worry about insufficient storage. smile.gif
Good luck on yr decision!
Haha i used to go around snapping fotos with my 3rd gen Ipad  biggrin.gif  Now i do it on my iphone and the fotos go to my ipad  tongue.gif

Yea its a good feeling to have worry free storage IMHO.
Most likely will be heading for 32gb due to my usage of iPad are games and watching youtube videos.
Perhaps I should research on how big the games are, as I will easily install around 10++ games.
Thanks anyhow for your replies and sharing.

if you are mainly just to consume content directly Internet and not to store them inside the iPad for offline viewing.

Yes, 32GB should be sufficient even with gaming possible.

iPad usage and iPhone usage are quite different. iPhone you may likely to take a lot of photos or 4k videos, which it will certainly take up a lot of space overtime.
iPad are mostly for media consumption which if you do not store media files on it. no problem for 32gb.

i have 128gb ipad mini 2 and i put quite a lot of videos inside just to fill up the storage but i noticed that i hardly watch them again.
so end up it is a waste of storage since most of the time those contents are idle.
if let me choose again, 64gb (if available), it will be the best storage size for my iPad.
while for my iphone, if there is 512gb, i may even choose to go for it, since i really take a lot of photos.
*
True, I have my own external HDD of 500gb and i stored nearly 300gb of movies, the thing is i hardly search back to watch the movies over and over again.
For photos, me personally have a mirrorless camera hence i seldom take as well.

Worst case, gonna purchase iCloud?

Guys, i plan to grab an ipad for my phd study. What color of bezel is suitable for me? White or black? Is the black gap in white bezel ipad will create distraction for reading or watching videos?
*
Color bezel is solely depend on your personal preference.
I suggest you to visit any outlet and test for your ownself.
I personally own a gold iPad 2017 and the so-call air gap isnt really a big deal. I guess we all shouldn't focus so much on what the reviewers (either written article or youtube) so much.
After all, they have to have some criticisms and positives...

I try to get sengq offer but space grey is sold out..

Space Grey is a popular choice of color...
Not sure why, maybe its the latest color avail. Means the last couple of iPad generations doesn't have the Space Grey option.. (Source: MacCity 1Utama)

Just curious, does anyone use an iPad without a screen protector?

I just bought a Spigen Fold Case, thinking of getting a TG, but macam hard to find a decent one - looking for something similar to my iPhone X Hoda Gen 2.
*
I have been using since Aug 17 without SP but with Smart Cover.
So far is alright, no scratches but once a while like clean with alcohol will erase some residues...

i cant seem to save documents properly on IPAD. It doesn't allow me to save simple excel files..
*
Can’t save?
Maybe you could elaborate more?
