Hi

Amazon seems to (randomly) have the 10.5 pro 64 for about $500...even less than bestbuy...is this a better deal than the 2018 iPad 128 for $349 ??

I do not need for "pro" uses...so either is fine, I know, but tech is a hobby and I do like the extras the 10.5 has....but is it worth it? Most reviews say go for the new 11 over the 10.5 when the price difference is only $150...BUT...with this $500 price the diff is substantial.

thanks
 
The IPP 10.5 was that price last winter. Last year the iPad 2017 was $412. You have to see which you will get the most use out of.

Both IPP 11in and 10.5in are pretty good. For what its worth, the IPP 11in you get to connect more with the USB-C connector. Down side is that you don't have the Touch ID or Headphone Jack which most video and music makers use most. I like having a headphone jack especially when I'm watching movies.

The 2018 iPad 128B is a good price. You get a lot of storage and it uses the Pencil. The price doubles with the IPP because you get a faster chip which helps when using the Pencil.

GO with the 2018 iPad 128GB
 
I was in this same dilemma last month and chose the iPad 2018 over the 10.5 Pro. The extra storage and much cheaper Apple Care Plus won me over.
