I just bought ipad air m1 for RM1.5k.. try hunt in shopee for raya deal.. no reason to buy the base ipad if you can get one with M1 for same price. All the processing goodness and sure will last longer. Good luck hunting 😎

may I know which shop you buy from? I just checked shopee and ipad air m1 5th gen is nowhere near that price at all. Currently selling 2.1k to 2.2k cheapest during sale and is still getting that measly 64gb which is crazy for paying 2k+. Also, ipad air has inferior battery life compared to the base ipad.

I just checked again and seems most already gone. Can see one in screenshot attached, that is cellular model priced at rm2.1k, I’ve seen the same shop sell it lower few days ago. As cellular model is several hundreds pricier, so you can imagine the non-cellular model should be approaching 1.5k mark.. there were a bunch of cheaper options several days ago. Plus coupons and coins if you have, will bring down price a bit more. Probably keep an eye on shopee if they re-appear

Yeah 64gb is on a low side, but depends on your usage, to me i think its enough. Most things are on icloud. As for battery life, not sure but Apple stated similar run time for both ipads.

Several win factors for ipad air to me:
1. Laminated display. If you use pencil much, you’ll appreciate this as no gap in screen when you write
2. M1 processor and 8gb ram, compared to A16 and 4gb ram, obviously night and day comparison. Can easily throw anything to it
3. Magic keyboard and apple pencil 2 supported on ipad air, not on base ipad
4. Apple AI.

But I pulled the trigger simply because it was cheap lol, otherwise the base ipad still a worthy tablet for its price

My usage is not much, just that its not worth buying 64gb device anymore. It cant even be upgraded.

The display doesnt bother me as it is a media streaming device for most of the time, no usage of pencil as well. A16 with 6gb ram is plenty for a 1.5k device and does 95% of what every users need. Those accessories are so expensive which I would never buy or use. Apple AI..... until now I also dont know what is so good about this. I have the iPhone 16 and never enabled Apple AI, I only bought it because my 64gb iphone not enough storage.

Overall, I guess the base ipad is the most worth it and bang for buck. Of course, if the iPad Air is that cheap, would consider it as well.

Ya true2, actually the ipad 11th is worth its price. I was looking to buy either ipad mini 7th or the ipad, but stumbled upon shopee sale so since the price is similar i just grabbed the air.

indeed. at least go for 64GB, i never keep much stuff on my ipad (128gb) and never take pictures/videos also only left with less than 50GB...  tongue.gif

My iphone 128gb still hv around 40+gb while never bother saving space, I take random pictures, with years of data transferred through generations of iphones. Actually Photos usually taking below 5gb space as most of it are in icloud. On my phone, whatsap taking most of space almost 50gb. Not sure what clogging your ipad haha

64GB is unacceptable no matter what price.

Vs 128gb with various lacking capabilities in ipad 11th. At similar price to me its a no brainer.. the processor especially, its strange ipad 11 is the only apple device left out for the AI. Yeah apple still failed to deliver AI, but imagine moving forward all OS and apps are bound around AI, this ipad will be dated very fast

Actually Apple AI doesn’t matter much to me, the ultra glaring ipad 10 glass really bothering me a lot and I have to return it

Non laminated already dimmed down the display a lot, plus the ultra glaring ipad 10 dimmed down the display further more…

Pls pay full attention to the screen when u buy then …u can’t tell from an Apple Store try hold and turn the screen to feel its glaring…

It is also a bit not nice to write on non-laminated screen using pencil, can see clear gap between pencil tip and where the writing actually appeared on the screen

I also wonder if iPad 11th can use stage manager mode? I’m loving it, using it since i got my ipad. Especially when using app that was not designed for ipad, I can make the app smaller, so not seeing the overblown app displayed. stage manager also nice when connecting to external display, can make extended display instead of screen mirroring. Almost feel like using a Mac thumbsup.gif

Quickly buy before the price hike

The only thing that makes this ipad attractive is the cheap price. If price hike, why buy. Simple

That's why must act first if you really need one

Yeah, if really need, fast3 buy lah.. to me, even though I’m in full Apple ecosystem now (mac (3 units at my home), ipad, iphone, apple tv) if Apple devices price hike due to the stupid trump, these apple devices I have will be my last. I don’t mind. Let China or Korea dominate market outside of US. I won’t give my extra dime to the arrogant US. Thats why to me, if price hike simply don’t buy. No different.

Ipad mini 6th gen 64gb vs ipad 11th gen.
Both are currently priced around RM1,400 each. Which one offers better performance? It will mainly be used by my daughter for drawing in procreate. Currently using ipad 8th gen. Pls advice

Ipad mini have better display panel, laminated. And I think I read somewhere, its storage and usb port has faster read and write speed. Other than that, it should function similarly. I think the screen size it your determinant factor, if you need bigger screen go for the larger ipad. The mini is more convenient to hold in hands and bring around
