How to choose an iPad<\/strong><\/h2>\n
Choosing an iPad largely depends on your budget and the tasks you need it to fulfil. For example, those with smaller budgets will appreciate the relatively affordable \u00a3319 2021 iPad.<\/p>\n
However, if you need your tablet to undertake demanding tasks like photo and video editing, you\u2019ll want to grab yourself the most powerful option there is to guarantee smooth performance \u2014 the impressively versatile iPad Pro.<\/p>\n
Equally, the iPad mini is the perfect iPad for those of you who work on the go, while the iPad Air makes for a nice compromise between size, price and power.<\/p>\n
All four are top-rated tablets and choosing the best one for you requires you to have a good grasp of what exactly you plan to use it for. If you\u2019re still deciding though, don\u2019t worry too much. iPads are generally fairly versatile in terms of everyday use. The main differentiating factor will be any highly demanding tasks that need more power and storage. These may need the 1TB or 2TB iPad Pro, both of which have a whopping 16GB of RAM to accompany that huge storage.<\/p>\n

In our full iPad Pro 2021 review<\/a>, our experts put the powerful device through its paces and were hugely impressed, eventually dishing out a rare five-star rating. It\u2019s fast, sleek and easy to use, but comes with a large price tag \u2014 around \u00a3960 for the basic WiFi version with 256GB of storage. Go for the cellular version with 2TB of storage and you\u2019ll likely be paying over \u00a32000.<\/p>\n
Our reviewer said: \u201cSome very minor criticisms aside, we\u2019ve been completely blown away by the iPad Pro. We\u2019ve been in the tech reviewing game for more than a decade, and this has made us both highly cynical and intolerant to hyperbole. With the 12.9-inch iPad Pro, though, we have to admit defeat. We\u2019ve tried to push it to various limits, we\u2019ve actively gone looking for faults, and the only one we can really point to is its price. Even then, though, the amount of premium technology on board this tablet goes a very long way towards justifying paying so much for it.\u201d<\/p>\n

The release of the iPad mini (6th gen) in September last year was a slight surprise to many Apple fans, with this particular arm of the iPad family having been rested since 2019. Now though, the 2021 iPad mini takes pride of place in the iPad lineup and has plenty to offer.<\/p>\n
In our full iPad mini (6th gen) review<\/a>, our experts enjoyed the tablet\u2019s compact design and vibrant display but thought it could have felt a little more robust. Our reviewer said: \u201cYes, Apple has increased the price of the iPad mini, but it\u2019s also significantly ramped up the specs to warrant this increase. Whereas previous models have been best suited for entertainment, the power improvements on the iPad mini make it much more suitable for productivity, creative and work tasks.\u201d<\/p>\n
Pair the iPad mini with Apple\u2019s Magic Keyboard<\/a> and it becomes an appealingly tiny laptop. Ideal for anyone who\u2019s travelling from meeting to meeting and needs computing power and simple typing in the palm of their hands.<\/p>\n
The iPad mini 6 is available with either 64GB or 256GB of memory and in either WiFi or cellular models.<\/p>\n

The base iPad cost \u00a3319 and outperforms lots of its Android competitors, despite being the most basic tablet on offer from Apple right now.<\/p>\n
This iPad packs a 10.2-inch display and is powered by Apple\u2019s 13 Bionic chip. It\u2019s not the fastest in the range, but it still offers plenty of bang for your buck.<\/p>\n
In our full iPad 2021 review<\/a>, our experts praised the value and performance of this Apple tablet. Our reviewer said: \u201cIn the wider iPad ecosystem, the iPad falls short. However, in the wider tablet market, the\u00a0 iPad<\/a> is miles ahead. Especially at this price point. It\u2019s incredibly well designed and sleek. It\u2019s powerful and lasts all day. If you\u2019re looking for an iPad, and you aren\u2019t a power user, then this is the iPad for the masses.\u201d<\/p>\n

The iPad Air sits nicely in between the powerful iPad Pro and the more affordable standard iPad. Costing around \u00a3550, it\u2019s in the middle when it comes to price and it sits in between the two in terms of performance too.<\/p>\n
This 2020 tablet is fast and responsive, nice to use and compatible with Apple pencil \u2014 both first and second-gen Apple Pencil<\/a> that is, even though the newer standard iPad only works with the first-gen pencil. That\u2019s handy for a whole range of tasks including drawing, note-making and file organisation.<\/p>\n
During testing, we gave this tablet a 4.4-star rating and our reviewer said: \u201cThe iPad Air is the goldilocks of the bunch. It\u2019s not too big, not too small, not too expensive, and you don\u2019t need to sacrifice features or performance. If the iPad Mini is a worthy family tablet, and the iPad Pro is for power users, the iPad Air occupies a middle-ground that will appeal to many people.\u201d<\/p>\n
