If you want ipad Air 2024 13in- better get the M2 Ipad Pro 12.9.

Price almost the same but you get better screen, 120Hz, better speakers.

Only benefit is the ipad Air 2024 can use the Apple Pencil Pro - but i think most of the features on the Pencil Pro not so useful unless u use ipad for drawing..... but then, if you use ipad for drawing - you would get the ipad pro 2024.

Initially want to buy IPad Air but now the IPad Pro 11inch almost as light and thin as IPad Air 2024. So difficult to make a choice, how about you all? Anyone want to buy IpadAir now?

was thinking about the iPad Air 13” to replace my aging Macbook Air once it goes south on me. almost rm8k with magic keyboard. 😰. hopefully have a based 13” iPad by then. don’t need so much fire power but 13” is a must.

Just bought iPad Air M2 11" Edu RM2749 with free Apple Pencil Pro & Applecare+ RM319 for my kid. Upgrading from iPad 5 + Apple Pencil.

I think quite worth it with free pencil. Can't wait to try it myself.

I suppose it depends on what you're gonna use it for but Pro for the 120hz screen and 40gbps port. Air if on a budget.

If ordering Air, no engraving, available now but add engraving, 3 weeks.

Hi All, does anyone know whether the education promo for ipad air or pro comes with Apple Pencil (Type C or 1st gen?) or Apple Pencil Pro?

I couldn't find much information about it.

Thanks.

I just discovered that once the ipad (pro or air) is added to the cart, the Apple pencil (USB C or Pro) price would be deducted from total amount making the pencil free.

It's indeed a good time to get 1 now.

Currently Shopback has upsized 4% cashback for Apple. 4.5% if you join Shopback+. Can do 30 days free trial. Also I think use Visa card got additional bonus.

If you need it, buy Applecare+ together with the edu iPad, less 20%.

Can, I bought mine in August. Only 2.5% (RM75.83). Seems like the calculation included Applecare also eventhough the TnC said Applecare not included. I think 4.5% can save RM150+.

Finally replacing my mom's iPad 2017, because the battery cycled over 1000 times and no longer able to hold up charges for more than 2 hours. Bought the base model iPad air m2 for my mom at 12.12 at RM1873.68, I saw the machines price RM1850 at laz before 12.12. I thought it can go lower than that, but it didn't. End up bought it from senheng laz and took around 6 days to ship it. After comparing 10th gen iPad and the price of 10th Gen, 256gb is around 200+ cheaper than m2 air, I don't think is the best value since the chip is already couple of years old.

now her iPad 2017 will pass down to me as an ebook reader, will replace the battery soon.
iPad 2 is now my nephew gaming device, iOS 6.1.3, 64GB fully loaded with all games.

iPad 2017, (bought it when the iPad 2 iOS 9 stutter and lag, and the battery and speaker busted, now it's all fixed smile.gif)

Finally replacing my mom's iPad 2017, because the battery cycled over 1000 times and no longer able to hold up charges for more than 2 hours. Bought the base model iPad air m2 for my mom at 12.12 at RM1873.68, I saw the machines price RM1850 at laz before 12.12. I thought it can go lower than that, but it didn't. End up bought it from senheng laz and took around 6 days to ship it. After comparing 10th gen iPad and the price of 10th Gen, 256gb is around 200+ cheaper than m2 air, I don't think is the best value since the chip is already couple of years old.

Yea, replace the battery on iPad 2 couple of years ago still holding up great. Standby can last almost a month. Last time bought the 2 batteries from cell care.
iphone 4s battery, it became spicy pillow early this year, but iPad battery still holding up fine.

Where did you source the battery for your ipad?

Just want for normal writing and instead of touch the screen with finger, use the pencil. HAHA
I don't want that USB C one, seems very counterproductive? What do you think?

I just tried my old Goojodoq pen I bought from when I first got my iPad Air 4. Charged and tried, and it still works.

I don't use a pencil much, but it helps for my 13" Air. tongue.gif

I just got an ipad air M1 for just RM1.5k brand new. at this price, really the best tablet money can buy, especially because I’m in apple ecosystem with macbook and iphone. The last ipad I used was ipad mini 6th which I let go about a year ago. Its a breeze to have ipad back for reading and browsing. Especially this one with M1, gonna hold up for a long time. Perfect to toss into bag when on the go

Ya for now apps and photos takes some space because they are just populated from my old backup. Over time mostly will be in icloud, especially photos. System data too. So that will free up more spaces. For my usage I don’t think will use all the 64gb.

My books mostly bought online or apple book store.. and **coughhsshopee…. tongue.gif

Anyone has encountered issues with your (2022, 5th gen), screen unresponsive after closing via the front cover. Very strange issue, screen will not respond after you flip open the screen cover. Have to force reset to get it working again. It was working well with the same cover all these years.

If i don't close using the flip screen cover, it works like normal. Tried using a new cover purchased from Machines some months back still the same issue.

Any advice is much appreciated.

Any stores where i can send the iPad Air for check / repair? (Purchased from Machines Oct 2022)
