![]() It's not as capable as the Air or Pro models, but is still a fantastic creativity machine – that's even capable enough to handle video editing – for those who don't want giant screen real-estate. The iPad mini is a little powerhouse of a tablet, packing in the incredibly fast Apple A15 processor. It might be showing its age, but age is experience, which is why the 9th Gen iPad still comes high up our list. What this now older iPad really gives you over even cheaper tablets is headroom – it does all the basics perfectly, but you can also get into video editing, illustration, music-making and any number of other things in exactly the same apps that people run on the higher-end iPad Pro. ![]() Now there is a newer 'entry' iPad, the 10th Gen model from 2022, but it's so much more expensive that it doesn't feature in our top three spot at the moment, but is further down in this guide – and will make a good choice if you've got a bit extra to spend, want smaller bezels, but don't need iPad Pro-levels of features. Now in its 9th generation, so it's showing its age a bit, this is the best affordable tablet if you want something that can be a surprisingly powerful creative tool - there's first-gen Pencil and keyboard compatibility - as well as a way to watch video and browse social media. Want to know more? Read the full Apple iPad Air (2022) review. This is the 'just right' Apple slate that will be ideal for most people. Sitting firmly in the middle of Apple's tablet range, beneath the Pro models but above the base iPad, it's a really good balance of price, performance and portability. That extra power goes a long way to generate a more laptop-style experience. Like the slate that came before it, there's Apple Pencil 2 support and a smart connector for a keyboard too - all sold separately - so this is a slightly better proposition than the entry-level iPad for serious typists and those who want to use their tablet for work. You can pretty much do anything and everything on this tablet, whether that's edit 4K videos or even open large illustration files - although admittedly creative work is somewhat limited by the operating system, iPadOS. A seriously powerful piece of kit, the 2022 iPad Air features Apple's M1 chipset, an upgrade that really shows. ![]()
