Unboxing of iPad Pro (2018) 11-inch 256 GBĭisclosure: I write reviews about products that I have bought for my usage and paid in full. Choosing the storage size was easier, 64GB will not be enough as I was filing up most of the 128 GB storage in my older iPad Air 2, and the 512GB model was too expensive, so I went with the sweet spot of 256 GB storage. I will be holding the device in my hand as my usage will be mostly to read eBooks, Kindle, browse the web and to watch movies on Netflix, Amazon Prime Video and Hotstar – this means I should go with the 11 inches model and that’s what I did. The genius staff instantly helped me to make the decision between the two display sizes – he said to go with the 12.9 inches only if I will use mostly be using it in the landscape orientation or as a laptop replacement with a keyboard, as it is heavier to hold for an extended period of time. Last month, when I went to Singapore, I visited the Apple Store in Orchid Road there. The 12.9 inches model was gorgeous, but I was not sure I should spend upwards of a Lakh of Rupees, so I wanted to be careful. I decided to go with the new iPad Pro (2018) version, but I was not sure whether to go for the 11 inches or the 12.9 inches. This meant I had to face the situation and pay a premium to get a new iPad. Unfortunately, the experience with the tablet turned out to be poor – it was too slow to do anything useful. That’s when I was reminded of Lenovo Tab 4 8″ that I had got for my mother-in-law which she likes, so I purchased the bigger version of it – Lenovo Tab 4, 10 inches from Amazon USA through a friend travelling from there for Rs.10,400 (US$ 150). I was impressed with Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 10.5″, but at Rs.50,000 it was expensive for what it offers – no premium features.

This meant I had to buy a new one! This time I decided to experiment and go with an Android Tablet (I dislike iOS compared to Android, but that’s for a different post) so it compliments my Google Pixel 2 phone.

A brand new one of the same models will cost Rs.28,000, so I decided not to upgrade the 4- year old device. I checked with Apple repair centre and with 3rd party shops and got a quote upwards of Rs.20,000 to replace the entire display unit. Late last year (2018) the iPad Air 2 started showing black spots on the left side of the display, slowly it spread and the device became unusable. This time the shocker for me, came two years later when I lost the device during the Microsoft Ignite 2016 conference, luckily a good soul helped me to find the device. Compared to the original iPad, Air 2 was faster, lighter and had a lightning port which made it easier to connect.

This was the model that I used the most and was my travel companion on many trips around the world. The next one was an iPad Air 2 that I bought three-and-half years later in 2014. My journey with an iPad started in 2011 with iPad 2, I loved the convenience of the device and just after a year I became sad when my son broke the glass.
