Buying up I am thinking of exchanging my air macbook 13" air for an IPAD pro 3rd generation. I study at University and do drawing classes. My drawing teacher said that the 12.9" Ipad Pro is what I should be using for drawing. I'm wondering if the Ipad Pro will be something that will be easy to study with ??

Should I buy the iPad Pro or air? Hi I am looking at an iPad I can use to annotate drawings and also sketch on, I am by no means a professional but don’t want to be restricted by the lack of promotion on the air, is this something a novice will notice or really only something the experts would need. also in favour of the pro is the camera and increased size but is that worth £360 to me...? any advice greatfully received.

iPad 8 vs iPad Pro 10.5 What are the differences between a iPad 8th generation vs iPad Pro (10.5-inch) 2017 model? I was using an older iPad Pro (9.7-inch) as a digital art device to draw and use Adobe to edit stuff. I was using it to watch movies and videos plus play games on it. I wanted to find out if the iPad 8 can be used in the same way. I know iPad 8 and iPad Pros support Pencil and ipadOS. I am sure there are some subtle differences between the iPad 8 and iPad Pro 2017 models. I wanted to replace iPad Pro (9.7-inch). I was thinking of getting the iPad 8g instead of iPad Pro (10.5-inch) 2017 model.

The macbook will have more storage and adaptability (you can plug a webcam in and use it to stream, or use a camera of some kind and import the video into your macbook.

You can’t use the pencil with the macbook, so for that the ipad ‘wins’.
