It's very powerful, and allows you to view two apps at once, which is great for productivity. No matter which one you choose, they are all accessible. I would get the 10.5 inch iPad Pro with at least 64 GB of memory, if not more. You will be able to listen to anything you have downloaded without a network connection, just like an iPhone.

>> Hi all,
>> 
>> I’m thinking of trying this tablet, probably with a keyboard.
>> What is your experience with ipads, if any?
>> There are a handful of ipad models; there is the mini one and at least two others that I know of.
>> 
>> 
>> How did you pick  which ipad you wanted? I am thinking the Pro version might be the  best. Is there any difference in accessibility in the models? I have low vision so I might use the large print and voice over.
>> I would use it for entertainment such as streaming music and movies, some email and some internet searching. I might also use it for reading and use the Learning ally Ap and overdrive ap. For music,  I’d use itunes. Does this come already installed on it? Once I buy and download music,  will I be able to listen to it  without being online? I was hoping the same would be true of books. Once I downloaded books, will I be able to read offline? I ask because I do not always have a wifi connection available and I’d like to use the tablet on the go such as a car where I definitely would not have wifi access.
>> 
>> And does it have siri?
>> 
>> Thanks.
