With the new version of iOS, features like windowing make the iPad a little more like MacOS, and this iPad also gets these features. The screen is clear and bright and the iPad is very responsive. The USB-C port can be used to connect to an external display. The one disadvantage this iPad has over higher models is that the external display will only be mirrored, not extended, so you can not have two different displays when connected.
The iPad works with the first gen Apple Pencil, as well as the USB-C model. If using the first gen version, you will either need a USB-C to Lightening connector to charge the pencil through the iPad (or other USB charging source), or you will need another source to charge it (such as a multi-device charging station. The pencil will not include some of Apple's newest features such as the hover capability, but it otherwise will work as it would with any older model of iPad.
Overall, the iPad is lightweight and makes a good portable device. I find this model of iPad too big for certain functions, such as an e-reader, and much prefer the iPad Mini for this purpose. However, the larger size is much better for reading magazines, Web browsing works a lot better on a larger device such as this one as web pages tend to have better layouts than smaller devices.
I spend time doing video training and demonstrations for both professional and personal activities, and there are some studies such as programming that work well for this because I can play the video on one side and have my programming application on the other. I also use Affinity Photo and Designer, and the experience on a larger iPad is much better. The performance overall is very good with these apps. I know it would be slightly better with a higher level device such as the iPad Pro, but I don't think the price difference is justified by the slight performance boost.
Overall, especially on a sale price, this iPad is one of the best values you can get when purchasing a tablet. If you need a device for nothing more than basic computing functions (email, web browsing, social media, general productivity like word processing, and maybe a little creative work, this can be a better value than most computers, especially when paired with a keyboard and mouse, which can be done with Bluetooth. It's a well-rounded and sufficient device for so many tasks, it would be hard not too recommend it!

I left my iPad at home while out of town for work and needed one badly. I stopped by Best Buy and found this one on sale. I didn’t need the highest end of the line but something to run a Point of Sale system. While using this iPad, I found was more than adequate and performed flawlessly. The screen was crisp and displayed everything nicely. I was able to make some nice sales without any problems. I would recommend this iPad.

Bought this for my son and it’s such a good upgrade from the one he had! He says it doesn’t lagg and it doesn’t die fast ! Which was a problem with his last one . He loves it ! So I bought another one for my other son as well!

Great item so far, have it about a month now. Good buy if you're not using it for stuff that requires a whole lot of space. Not heavy, easy to use (I'm an android person). I suggest getting a decent case and screen protector for it.

It’s fast, smooth, and handles everything - from watching movies and note-taking to light photo editing. I love that it now starts with 128GB storage. The display isn’t as good as the Pro models, but it’s still sharp and colorful. Battery life easily lasts me all day. Overall great value for the price!

We needed a device for attending virtual seminars (Zoom). It's just the sizse and the display is fantastic.. We purchased it just a few weeks ago. It is too soon to evaluate durability and battery life.

Purchased for my mother in law. It replaces an old iPad whose storage is insufficient for updates. This is zippy enough, big enough, and reasonable for her needs.
