Why buy this from Revain and an artist's perspective

There are several reasons I bought this here from Revain and not Best Buy or Apple directly. It is currently being sold at the full price of $800. But if you're a Prime member, and more specifically if you have a Prime credit card, this purchase gets you 5% cashback, essentially $40 plus you can combine that with any cashback application you already have with a Earn a Prime credit card and get a pretty good discount on a new iPad. I had already made $50 so it was $750 and no sales tax was added so I saved an additional $100 compared to Best Buy or Apple. The only downside I found when ordering here is that they delivered it via Fedex and required a signature on delivery but was only delivered while I was at work and there was no way to call Fedex To hold in place, luckily a family member was able to sign while I was away, otherwise they wait 10 days (ironically with the fedex item) and then get back to seller. Now moving on to my review of the product itself. I'm very impressed with this iPad, it's very powerful, almost too thin, the speakers actually sound decent. In terms of my primary use (art) it's amazing. With an Apple Pencil and Astropad, it's essentially a Wacom Cintiq when you need it, a tablet for apps or media when you need it, and a good reading screen. The 120 refresh rate is no joke, and the glass-laminated screen makes it feel like you're drawing directly on it, rather than drawing on other screens. The price is high, VERY HIGH, but I think if you're creative and can fit this into your daily workflow, it's worth it, especially given its versatility. My only criticism of the iPad itself is the camera hump, it's almost a dime thick and unless you have a case on the back it will be very well known when you twist or swipe the back to adjust it Handle. Overall 9.8/10 I would buy again. I can't talk to the magnetic dock and keyboard because I won't be using them as a laptop replacement unless iOS 11 is SO good, which is highly questionable.

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
