1 Apple iPad (2018) 32Gb Wi-Fi

The 6th generation iPad is considered to be the best in its class on the market, although it looks more faded than the iPad Pro. It's all about the concept of development and approach, since the product itself is aimed at the development of education and science and is primarily suitable for students and schoolchildren, so as not to carry kilograms of textbooks with them. In our case, this is a 32 GB model, while there are models with 128 GB and more internal memory. There are 3 colors to choose from - gray, silver and gold.

A good 8827 mAh battery keeps the tablet running for 10 hours. The package bundle is still ascetic, there is only a power supply and a charging cable. With a screen diagonal of 9.7, it has a high resolution of 2048x1536 pixels, but it itself is quite old, although it supports Apple Pencil. The basic software includes the basic programs for training and content creation, but they do not fulfill the role of full-fledged software products for PCs due to the stripped-down functionality.

How to choose a tablet for watching movies?

When choosing a tablet, it is important to strike a balance between battery size and components. For example, a tablet with a diagonal of 8 inches with 2 cores with a frequency of 1.3 GHz with a good 5000 mAh battery will lose in performance to an analog with 9 inches, 4 cores and a frequency of 1.5 GHz with a 4000 mAh battery, but it will significantly benefit in terms of performance, since more powerful components require more nutrition. A few more tips for choosing a product:

• For more or less comfortable work, we recommend choosing tablets with a diagonal of at least 7 inches. They are also suitable for those who do not care about video quality. For demanding users, models from 10 inches are best suited.
• The 4: 3 aspect ratio was relevant about 5-10 years ago, when the world was ruled by personal PCs. The best is 16: 9, which is as close to cinematic as possible.
• As for the matrix, the IPS Retina and Super Amoled formats can be considered the best.
• Operating system. This aspect is rather a matter of habit.
• And the last - plastic or metal? Plastic models are lighter, cheaper, and the body is damaged faster. Metal tablets are more expensive, but better withstand impact and external factors.
