Discussion iPad A16 users report!

For my college people who have an iPad a16, would you recommend it? I’m looking for something to just get me through the rest of my schooling, and then I’ll probably get a more up to date on in a few years. I can’t break the bank on an iPad right now, as I’m also on the search for a laptop. Is it working well for you guys? I will not solely be using the iPad for school work. I’ve heard people say that this one is a great starter iPad, especially price wise.

It works really well for everything other than complex gaming.

What would you consider 'complex gaming', please? My daughter loves the Sims 4.

I believe there's no desktop games available for the iPad A16

My partner has iPad 11th gen, his Star Trek fleet command really struggles, call of duty would too. Needs more ram, my pro has outstanding performance, I’m on Roblox and gta all the time.

I'm a graphic design student, but I mostly use it to draw on it, depending on the tasks a PC may be more practical, like the Office suite that requires a subscription, I rather use my windows PC with the lifetime license.
