My Favorite Tech Device

I love this iPad and use it every day. I bought it with the intention of using it for general web browsing, reading comics and drawing. I also bought an Apple Pencil and the combination of the two products has reinvigorated my passion for drawing, a talent that has taken a back seat lately. ten years. For artistic purposes, many want a larger iPad Pro as it allows for a larger canvas that better matches the dimensions of traditional paper. The downside, of course, is that it's more portable and easier to hold. For me personally, the smaller size struck a good balance between using it for creative purposes and using it for idle entertainment. For reading comics, that's amazing. It has excellent screen clarity and vibrant colors. When I zoomed in on each cell of the comic, I didn't notice any pixelation or distortion. I've also used it to read magazines and can't complain about the quality of the experience (Revain has a good selection of magazines that you can read for free with a basic subscription). I haven't tried to read an entire book about it, so I can't say if it's possible without eye pain. I will say that it is very handy for reading recipes and the portability of the device is great for use in the kitchen. As for the specifics of the refurbished device itself, I was very pleased with the condition of the product, which was like new. There were no scratches or other defects. As mentioned, a third-party charger is included, but that didn't bother me as I felt the price had been reduced enough to make this concession convenient. Every other mobile device I had was an Android device. I don't find the iOS ecosystem difficult to use. I will say that iOS is not as customizable or open as Android, which is noticeable. Some pre-installed apps that I'd rather uninstall can't even be properly hidden, which is annoying at times. Because of this, I couldn't imagine ever buying an iPhone, but for a tablet, I can appreciate the beauty of the simplicity and immediacy of the operating system. The strong bonus of this add-on for my Android phone is that there are apps in iOS that are specifically tailored for the App Store and not available elsewhere, which is interesting to discover. The responsiveness of this iPad is unreal. Apps open incredibly fast and home screens move back and forth with no noticeable lag. I also used it to watch YouTube videos and TV shows and was happy with the video and audio quality. Some people have claimed that it is a replacement for laptops or traditional computers. I couldn't imagine that replacing the PC as a workplace, but maybe I'm old-fashioned. It works great when doing things like writing to PDFs or reading documents. The keyboard is also customizable, but I can't imagine using it for office work on the computer without a mouse. The beauty of the tablet for me is that I use it on the couch for general entertainment. The battery holds a charge for a long time, but as a minus, it takes a long time to charge. That's enough for a day of normal use on a single charge, but mobile games will drain your battery faster than you might think. Ultimately I am very satisfied with the product. I was considering buying a tablet at a cheaper price, but in the end I decided to treat myself to a tablet that most online reviews consider to be the best. I do not regret it.
