Hi guys,

I am new to apple products. Im thinking to buy an iPad Air for my wife to do some light office work for her biz.

Her main usage for the iPad will be
1. Microsoft office (mostly excel to do financial records)
2. Showing sample and photo to customers
3. Web browsing (webpages, fb etc)
4. Watch video (youtube, netflix etc)
5. Bring along the tablet everywhere with her

I would like to ask some opinions from all the sifu here:-
1. Is iPad 7th gen will do the job? I am in dilemma choosing between iPad 7th 128gb or iPad Air 64gb (budget constraint)
2. Is Microsoft Office free? Or is there any free apps that can replace the Microsoft Office?
3. Any sifu here also using iPad to replace a computer? Any experience to share?

Thanks in advance  notworthy.gif

For points 2-5 I think the iPad Air (latest one?) should do the job just fine. I'm still using my old iPad Air 2. But for MS Office use espc Excel it's a pain in the ass. Unless you're doing very simple task using not much formulas.

Just wondering what makes you choose iPad air not iPad mini?

Mainly because of the screen size. I watched a lot of Netflix and Youtube on the iPad so the extra inches help
