        More RAM = good

        AI = bad

        Turning off AI and use the extra for RAM processing = best option :D

      Waiting around for cheaper hardware has been a sure-fire path to disappointment over the past couple of years.

      Are prices turning around now? I don’t have a crystal ball.

    • BooYa on 10/06/2026 - 21:59

      Apple products keep their value like crazy! Personally, if it's something I was going to buy sooner or later, I would buy it sooner and enjoy using it until the new model came out.

      I might even wait a bit when the new model came out to avoid the rush, who knows, the new model might not be worth upgrading to (depending on what I'm looking for in the product).

      In any case, I'm sure that I could sell my used, older, Apple product for not much less than what I paid for it.

    Hi guys,
    Just wondering is this a good ipad? I've been looking for a replacement for my 4 year old.
    Thanks :)

      look at a 9th gen ipad - will be a lot cheaper to get a refurb and its great for that age, fully capable of everything and still has the home button to allow for easy app quitting etc for that age

      • rando88 on 09/06/2026 - 09:58

        64GB (iPad 9) did the job for a long time but it's very limiting in 2026. New iOS is bigger and install productivity apps like Office or if kids want to use iMovie you're cooked. It'll be out of space with storage warnings within a week. Get 128GB at least they'll be able to save more than one or 2 videos.

          What sort of tasks do you think a four year old is doing on a tablet?

          • 0
          • Ti-au on 09/06/2026 - 13:01

            @topherboi: iPads can last years and years (unlike Android tablets). I have a apple laptop from 2014 that I was using until quite recently, so perhaps the better question is what does a 9 year old do on their iPad….

            • 2
            • buffalo bill on 09/06/2026 - 14:38

              @Ti-au: Correct. My daughter is 7 and does animation stuff, drawing, using iMovie, playing games. It's an ipad9 and constantly has storage warnings and we have to keep having the discussion of what she wants to keep.

      This is the current base-model iPad.

      I can’t imagine it being unsuitable for a 4 year old - I’m a 50 year old software engineer and I’m happy with it.

        • axyh on 09/06/2026 - 10:32

          Makes sense. Based on what I've seen of four-year-olds, I'd take the iPad.

      Replacement for 4 year old child? Probably not.
      Replacement for 4 year old iPad? Yes.
      Replacement for 4 year old's iPad? More than adequate.

    Ah dang just bought this at OW last 2 weeks with price beat Dicksmith to $511. Wonder if can use credit card price protection but I think OW need to down their price to $499 in order to activate PP policy.

    Can anyone recommend a keyboard folio type case to go with this?

    • 0
    • Ti-au on 09/06/2026 - 13:23

      There are rubbish ones where the keyboard is not integrated as part of the case. Rather the keyboard sits on top of the case (just using magnets on the back of K/B. These are horrible (and use $1.99 keyboards).

      If your okay with Alibaba, you can search:
      'Pivot Split Keyboard Case with Trackpad and Colorful Backlight TYPE-C Charging and 150mAh Battery'
      this is the kind of case you are looking for as they have a proper integrated keyboard. These ones are quite good because the keyboard can split from the ipad rather easily. Costs is around $30 or so.
      (Im sure you could find the same pictures/products on ebay Australia).

      Also C3295 pencil (Goojodoq brand) seems to be the latest (cheap) non touch pressure copy of the apple pen (good for notes, bad for graphic artists).
      If you need touch pressure you need to get the logitech or apple one.

    • He-Mania on 09/06/2026 - 13:26

      I cant sorry - but there are lots of youtube reviews for it when I was looking for an iPad Air one. I didnt end up getting one because I knew my kid would drop it and none of them looked robust enough to withstand that kind of abuse. I went with an Otterbox case instead.

      If you are intending to use it with a keyboard most of the time - maybe consider the Macbook NEO?

      • 1
      • Ti-au on 09/06/2026 - 13:27

        Macbook neo would be a way better option if you need a keyboard imho.
