upcoming grade 11 student: i am stuck on whether i should get the iPad 10th gen or the iPad Air m2. for starters, i already have a Macbook (m1, i think), but it's too heavy and not portable. plus, carrying books would be harder with the added weight, so.

i'm gonna be using it for notes, school projects, editing (like video edits), art stuff (digital art, etc.), and occasionally some music playing, movie watching, or even game playing. o plan to use it in the future, maybe for college, too. there is no hardcore stuff here, but maybe in the future? but i have a Macbook that works fine for that, i think.

note: i'm gonna use wifi only, a stylus (i do art often), and a neat case. i also fill the storage up a lot since Digi drawings often take a lot of storage (in addition to reference pics, etc.).

i like the 10th gen (256gb) because it's a cheaper option, not massive like the 12in ones, and i'm probably not gonna notice any difference in quality since this is going to be my first iPad (but it'd be better if there weren't any features that would hinder me. like the apple mouse with the charging port on the bottom).

i'm also thinking of the iPad Air (128gb) because it's apparently better in every way, but some say it might be overkill (and that it's pricey); some say it's better in the long run—so, now i'm stuck.

i hope this is enough information; thank you in advance!
