My Thoughts
Apple have truly shown the world how possible it is to produce an affordable IPad without sacrificing much. The 2019 IPad is bigger than I thought. Affordable, Yes but super.
This is what I call value for money. Apple really want us to buy the 2019 IPad, that is why they showed us a smart keyboard and pencil that is sold separately.
These two accessories makes the 2019 IPad feel a little more like a pro machine rather than a regular slate in Nigeria. You can buy them for a complete set up and unlock more features with ease.
In conclusion, the 2019 IPad is no doubt the perfect slate for students and every other person in need of a budget friendly powerful device in Nigeria. It is also a good substitute for a laptop.
