My work requires that I use an ipad. Currently using iPad Air 2, but I think it is due for an upgrade since I need to leave one iPad to my staff for them to do their work on that iPad. I am thinking of getting one for my own use so I can do said work on my own time

I am open to new things, if the iPad is capable, I wouldn't mind using it as my main work/consumption device (spotify, youtube, netflix, etc). Having a "pencil" may be advantageous too when I need to present things to my clients/prospects. Right now I don't even know which iPads are compatible with the Pencil. Is it only the Pro? Budget should be RM5k and below, it is flexible, but I don't like to spend more than I need to. Currently I am using my android phone for media consumption on the go, never to do any work

tl;dr: What are the differences in functionality of the iPads?

I have the new iPad Pro 11”
Apple know how to suck by releasing new ipencil (so call gen2) that compatible with it.
But overall very convenient when doing presentations (takes some learning curve tho).
U can set it up with stand, keyboard and mouse to become a pc as well.
One thing was stupid was WhatsApp is not supported, need to use web WhatsApp.
