Ideal for those who already live in the Apple ecosystem or want more versatility for editing videos, photos or other creative content, the iPad line is vast and has options that vary from those that focus on lightness and practicality to brute force.
With that in mind and seeking to make your life easier and understand which option might be the best for you, we have organized a guide here listing the main options available today in the consumer market so that you can choose the one that best suits your needs.
As in previous guides, below you can see the list of models that we have selected here with the highlights of each one of them, as well as the link to reach the area of ​​the publication that talks about it.

- iPad Pro — Ideal for photo and video editing
- iPad 9th generation — For those who don’t give up TouchID
- iPad 10th Generation—Updated look and generous display
- iPad Air — Lightness without giving up the big screen
If your focus is on having good portability and carrying a small and light tablet, it is worth thinking seriously about the iPad Mini, a tablet that weighs less than 300g and has the A15 Bionic chip on board (also seen in the iPhone 13 line, as well as in the iPhone 14 and 14 Plus), an 8.3″ Liquid Retina display compatible with Apple Pencil (2nd generation) and advanced connectivity, including Wi-Fi 6 and, if you choose the version with telephony support, 5G.
Is the focus on having maximum strength to handle heavier tasks? So the best proposal is to go with the iPad Pro, a tablet whose main highlight is the use of the Apple Silicon M2 platform, the same as seen on the MacBook line, which therefore guarantees performance for the creatives on duty.
For this guide, we have selected the most compact version, with 11 inches, which guarantees greater portability and a more interesting price for the set delivered.
If you are a user who likes the original proposal of Apple tablets (that is, with touchID and a little more edge), it is worth taking a look at the 9th generation iPad that remains available on the market even with the arrival of the next generation. current, in part due to the loyalty of users to this aesthetic proposal.
His set, obviously, leaves nothing to be desired and combines the A13 Bionic chip (same as seen in the iPhone 11) with 64 GB or 256 GB storage, a 10.2 “Retina IPS LCD screen compatible with Apple Pencil (1st generation) and Magic Keyboard Folio.

While the focus of the 9th generation iPad is, in particular, to cater to those who want to pay less and like the availability of TouchID, the 10th generation iPad earns points for bringing a more current look, which guaranteed this generation an increase in overall size of the screen without having to change the body considerably, going from 10.2″ to 10.9″.
Another good detail when we talk about it is the performance, thanks to the offer of a more current chip (in this case, the A14 Bionic) and the compatibility of accessories remains the same as the older brother: Apple Pencil (1st generation) and Magic Keyboard Folio .
To close the list, we have the iPad Air, which stands out in particular for bringing a lighter body without giving up the generous 10.9″ screen, thus guaranteeing the position of a good option for those who do not give up a larger screen but are keen to to carry as little weight as possible.
Very similar to its line brothers, the iPad Air is approximately 462g (against the maximum of 482g of the most complete version of the 10th generation iPad), in addition to being more compact in all its dimensions.
