Agreed. Should have mentioned that. I use mine as a primary internet device. Wasn’t my intention for it to take the place of my MBP for most tasks but it just happened. Might be worth trying. Amazon has 30 day returnswent from gen 6 iPad to M1 IPP and the difference is very noticeable even for some basic stuff. highly recommended unless you are on tight budget
and regarding the aforementioned keyboard: i personally wouldn't get one, unless the iPad is your primary computer, otherwise i'd say you're better off with a laptop/Macbook
About 6-7 years old (you should download mac tracker. It has detailed information in ALL apple devices.)How old have you had that iPad for? Sorry I am very bad following when iPads have been releases.
in my case the iPad is my most used device, and I just upgraded from a 1st gen ipad pro to a M1 ipad pro after 8 years and it was totally worth it.
it depends on what you have to do with it, surely by making this leap, the difference will be considerable.Im thinking about upgrading my ipad 5 to an 11 inch ipad pro. Is it worth it?
I was about to correct you and say something like "there is no way the original iPad Pro came out 8 years ago..."How old have you had that iPad for? Sorry I am very bad following when iPads have been releases.

It actually is an ipad 5 just 5. It is really a 9.7 inch ipad pro without pro motion laminated screen and less performace and ramI was about to correct you and say something like "there is no way the original iPad Pro came out 8 years ago..."
and then I checked (on the MacTracker app, which i also highly recommend lol) and realzied how old I am because the first iPad Pro did come out in 2015!
I don't think it is worth the upgrade. If you have been using the iPad 5 this long and have been content with what it can do, then unless you want an 11" iPad, spending so much on an iPad to get the 11" Pro would not be wise, IMO.Im thinking about upgrading my ipad 5 to an 11 inch ipad pro.

I actually just got it because my sister gave it to me. She doesn’t need it anymore.I don't think it is worth the upgrade.

I suggest considering the 10th gen or Air if you are looking for an upgrade. I'd recommend my favorite (9th gen) but if you've gone this long with the iPad 5, then you can treat yourself a little.
I think i will go with a pro. My ipad 5 constantly ram crashes and im sick of it.I actually just got it because my sister gave it to me. She doesn’t need it anymore.

Literally anything above 32gb is fine. I really really hate having 32gbDepends on the storage required.
An Apple certified refurb M1 iPad Pro 11” 128GB might be a better choice than a 10th gen or Air 5 256GB if 128GB is one’s sweet spot.

If it's no longer doing what you need it to do, then yes. You probably have another year or two of iOS updates, though.
Yes. This is the worst part of having a old device. The sad thing is i was really really looking foward to IpadOS 17Security updates only. The iPad 5th gen has A9 and won’t be getting iPadOS 17.
Even now, it’s already missing a bunch of features from iPadOS 16 that require neural engine.
Ah ... you are correct. I would definitely upgrade then.Security updates only. The iPad 5th gen has A9 and won’t be getting iPadOS 17.

Agree 100% with the keyboard suggestion: The Magic Keyboard is an amazing stand, but it dramatically increases weight and bulk and changes the iPad from an exceptional tablet to a compromised laptop imho. In contrast a MacBook Air is a much better choice if you need to rely on a physical keyboard for your primary use case.went from gen 6 iPad to M1 IPP and the difference is very noticeable even for some basic stuff. highly recommended unless you are on tight budget
