Recently I have purchased an iPad. I was looking for a device on which I can take notes because physical notes they often get lost and you cannot actually take images from your PDF onto your physical notes. I found out that there were two options. One was Android and one was Apple. The iPad was far better in my opinion. The Air version was in the middle of the Pro model and the Base model. I went for Air because I didn’t need a lot of functionality. I usually use it for my notes but sometimes I use it for entertainment as well. The main entertainment purpose is Netflix. It has a beautiful display so I can just lie in my bed and see. It gives a very soothing experience. That other day I was watching a movie called Shosheng Redemption. It was a very beautiful movie. The iPad comes with a keyboard. It is a magic keyboard named Apple. It is like a detachable keyboard that you can attach to the iPad. I wanted to purchase that one at first but then I saw that it was out of stock and I had nothing to do. That is why I was not able to buy this because it was not in the stock. I was very disappointed but hopefully in the future I will be able to buy it when it comes back in the stock. One more thing is that the iPad has a screen protector called Paperlight. It helps me write very good quality notes. The note quality that I have now is much higher.
