iPad Mini vs iPad Pro

I can't decide what I want. I will sell my computer as I use my tablet more, but my tablet is old now and I need an upgrade. I'd like a tablet that I can carry around but still powerful enough to make school work in.

What are the pros and cons of each and which one would you recommend?

iPad vs chromebook for student My son (12) is accustomed to using a chromebook for school. He needs a new one and we are considering an iPad instead. **Is there any reason that the iPad would not be just as good?** Would need to easily run Fortnite (they said at least 60 fps or something like that?!), Zoom, Google apps (classroom, drive, etc). **If so, which version (and what memory size) would I need? **Id hate to spend the $$ on the Pro if its not needed.** TIA!

The mini should do what you want. Presuming that’s just course work, work processing, etc.

Unless you’re doing some high end graphics or animation, the pro has a lot more power than you may need. And that money could be used towards a keyboard - which i consider mandatory if you are doing any serious word processing.

The only downside of the mini is the lesser screen real estate.
