The air 4 is way different than the 7. No home button. Squared design. Better internals. Better camera. pencil 2 support.
Do you already have the iPad 7? I ask because the more relevant comparison in 2020 for those who don't have an iPad already would usually be the iPad Air 4 vs. the iPad 8.
For your purposes the iPad 8 is more than sufficient, but the iPad Air 4 is definitely a nicer machine.

The iPad Air is objectively a way better device, yes, but whether it is better value is a different question and for your use-case the differences may not be that important at all
Is the iPad Air 4 better than the 7? Yes. Is there a notable performance difference in the above tasks? No, not really.
Maybe if you're doing a full text search on a really large book. My Air 3 with A12 does return search results faster than iPad 7 A10 or even Pro 10.5 A10X on a 1.8 million word omnibus.
Might appreciate the features, though:
Watching YouTube in landscape, you get stereo sound instead of it just coming from one side.
Laminated display is nice.
I have no idea what this means.
Is this an Americanism? (I don't live in the US.)
I'd try to answer this but I don't speak stupidese.
What’s with the duh?! Don’t get the context. We use the word duh in the UK as a slang term for stupid. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I honestly think we've just fallen for a troll…
We aren't that dumb. ?
I think it is slang for "the" or whatever young kids say these days.
Again, I think it is slang for "the" or whatever young kids say these days.
Again x2, I think it is slang for "the" or whatever young kids say these days.
That is an oldie!
Probably not a troll. More likely to be a young child than anything else.

Very interesting
you got a point there. I mean duh and the, both are 3 characters long words, so not really gaining anything in terms of practical usage.
“The (F word)” likely. Maybe they’re speaking in MLP or something? ?
The youngsters are weird these days.
Yep, super confusing.
I’m actually entertained by the thought how one
word has got us all questioning our knowledge of the language. 
The probably dont know what the iPad 8 is, so they likely meant to say something along the lines of "What the (F word) is the iPad 8?"

A lot has to do with language in the UK vs here in the US.

LOL an entire thread of speculation simply because OP was in a silly mood. Based upon their previous post history they clearly can communicate in plain english . . but whatever . .
