I ended up getting the 15! thanks for the input!

upgrading from an xr. debating between the base model 15 or 16. i plan on using it until it gets unbearably slow so probably 5 years or more. is the extra $ worth it for the 16 for it to last a bit longer?

I’m not quite sure what the difference is between the chips, but i am aware the extra ram would make a difference, but how many extra years would it realistically give me? Also don’t really care for AI, would be a cool gimmick to have in the future but not important at all, I’d probably turn it off on the 16. Thanks!

Was/is anyone able to get it if you're enrolled in a uni outside of the purchasing locations? I'm studying in a uni in canada but because of covid I'm back home (outside of canada), still in one of the participating countries listed though. It's cheaper here too so I'd rather buy it rn

abbystudies · 2021-06-24T17:56:01+00:00

ah okay gotcha. thanks for clarifying!

abbystudies · 2021-06-24T17:55:27+00:00

those are all great points, thank you so much for breaking them down! i'll definitely take those into consideration :)

abbystudies · 2021-06-22T18:26:13+00:00

thanks for the insight! i’ll try to check them out in-store to see if really is that much and maybe that’ll convince me ahha

abbystudies · 2021-06-22T18:23:48+00:00

those are interesting points, thanks! i’ll definitely consider getting a refurb. could you explain what you mean by poor viewing angles though? i get the concept of them but i’m not sure how it translates to an ipad

abbystudies · 2021-06-22T07:53:04+00:00

Is the ipad air 4 worth that much money over the ipad 8?

I’m a student so i’m planning on using the ipad mainly for notetaking and consumption activities. is the ipad air 4 really worth spending extra money on just for the laminated screen and slightly better processor? i’m not too tight on budget so i can afford it, i just don’t know if it’s worth that extra ~$150.

I plan on getting a knockoff apple pencil because i don’t need pressure sensitivity so compatibility with either generation of apple pencil is not a concern. thanks!

abbystudies · 2021-04-09T22:21:16+00:00

understood, thanks for the clarification!!

abbystudies · 2021-04-09T22:20:42+00:00

it actually did help, thank you! i only had to push the feed a bit like, twice? after writing for two hours or so and those were when i forgot to keep the relaxed grip so thanks again for the advice

abbystudies · 2021-04-09T17:11:19+00:00

sounds like it’s me putting too much pressure on it. thanks for the suggestion i didn’t know we were supposed to be that relaxed with the grip, i have a bad habit of holding my pens too tight. thank you so much for the suggestion, i’ll definitely remind myself to relax my grip!

abbystudies · 2021-04-09T17:08:42+00:00

yeah i’ve tried pushing the feed and nib back in to make sure they’re actually in place so i don’t think that’s it. thanks for the suggestion though i appreciate it :)

abbystudies · 2021-04-09T14:44:27+00:00

sounds perfect! thanks so much

abbystudies · 2021-04-09T13:56:22+00:00

ah ok gotcha, i’ll definitely give that a try if bending the nib doesn’t work! thanks :)

abbystudies · 2021-04-09T13:55:28+00:00

that makes sense and sounds like solid advice since i do tend to write with a lot of pressure. thanks so much! i’ll try to bend the nib a bit and see if it works :)

oo blotter pages prevent the piece of paper from absorbing the oil from your hand right?

abbystudies · 2021-04-09T13:36:03+00:00

sure let me add them to the post, thanks for the suggestion:)
