What's great about the Apple iPad?

For years now, Apple has spent time refining its iPad lineup, delivering different models to people with different needs. The iPad is the most affordable, usually priced at $349, which is great for pretty much all types of uses. You can use it to surf the web, watch videos, author documents, play games, and more.

This model features an 11-inch screen and is powered by Apple's A16 chip. You also get 128GB of storage, and it charges via USB-C. There's also support for Apple's Pencil stylus, along with a keyboard cover if you want to take things in a different direction. There's also a 12MP rear camera, along with a 12MP front-facing camera.

The most important part here is that it runs iPadOS. This software delivers a smooth experience that constantly gets better with new updates. This model will even run Apple's recently announced update, iPadOS 27. Apple has a good track record of delivering new software updates to existing models, and the iPad is no exception.

So, if you've been thinking about trying something new or just want to upgrade your existing tablet, the iPad is going to be a good one to go with. The price right now is a record low for the year, coming in at just $299.
