Apple 2021 10.2-inch (25.91 cm) iPad with A13 Bionic chip (Wi-Fi Cellular, 256GB) – Silver (9th Generation)

THE best tablet in this price range! For people who are casual users and consume mainly content like Hotstar, Netflix etc. with a little productive work like word,excel – my advice is simple, close your eyes and go for this tablet . You will not regret it !!For the price of around 28K there is not a single android tablet that can deliver the performance and overall excellent user experience that the IPad does.I come from the world of android – tv, mobile etc.. everything for more than a decade using android. I never used to understand what the fuss was all about Apple and it’s expensive walled garden ecosystem.Then I got a iPhone 13 and IPad. Initial days was a challenge but later simply fell in love with the entire usage experience of the ios. Everything simply works well, you don’t have to tinker or customise hundred different things. They just work and work very well! Honestly I don’t really care about customising everything including the o/s in android, never had the time or interest. I don’t want to waste time doing things in 10 ways.That’s is where ios excels. Also I have both the oneplus 7 and Samsung tabs. Never was the toggling, browsing or general icon animation this smooth like in IOS. The android tabs are the worst , within a few months irrespective of the ram, chipset etc they start lagging, choppy feel to UI .iPad is just a class apart in how the UI is experienced. Does not matter about refresh rates , RAM , snapdragon blah blah. That’s the best thing about the IPad , you don’t have to worry about the insides or tech specs other than memory, the thing just works and handles anything you throw at it. That is where the real specialty of the closed garden approach of Apple really helps.You don’t have a hundred different companies tinkering and doing hundred different software or hardware combos.Last but not the least, the battery is a beast! Daily 6 hours of screen on time and I have to charge only on the third day for the IPad.Also the display somehow looks and feels better than any android pad. That 264 poi comes into play.
