As long as you don't look like an old man the chances of them asking for student ID is very low too.
You can always put in the notes your parents is picking up the laptop for you.
Or just have it delivered for free.
I'd wait for a better price…
Was hoping for 128gb…
Yeh 64GB for a $900 device is nuts. The wife's iPad air 2 from 2014 has the same capacity and cost the same as this.
Yeah I have the iPad air 2 as well and looking to upgrade to newer one with larger storage
If only stage manager is available on non-M1 chip iPad… Gotta love Apple.
This is an M1 iPad though. Unless you mean that's the only good thing about this tablet, in which case I agree. M1 is pretty overkill for iPadOS, feels like limiting it to M1 is solely to help sell their more expensive versions.
this is an M1 chipped ipad… So in theory it should have stage manager…
In practice, this 64gb model does not support stage manager. AFAIK.
Yup limitation in the storage of the device….Apple kind of shot themselves in the foot by being Apple and offering rubbish storage sizes to force you to higher tiers.

So, how many people will actually use and benefit of Stage Manager?
TBH not people buying the cheapest m1 iPad.
or anyone buying an iPad probably.
What awful business practices by Apple in regards to storage. I don't know why people worship them so much.
64GB is not enough in this age, 128GB is the standard/minimum for the last few years.
So because this isnt enough storage, you have to "upgrade" by adding 192GB which costs an extra $271 or $1.41 per Gig
256GB micro sd costs around $40 - $0.15c per Gig
256GB nvme drive costs around $50 - $0.19c per Gig
500gb gen 4 nvme drive costs around $110 - $0.22c per Gigor buy icloud storage
How does that help you with installed apps and offline content?
That's how they get you to upgrade, or alternatively buy cloud storage lol
People vote with their wallets and apparently they're willing to pay for this shit so…
That Purple is quite a nice shade
