I will buy an iPad Air for university next week and occasionally also for private use.
Now I ask myself the question, because Apple's memory can't be expanded with a microSD card, whether the 64 GB variant is sufficient, because frankly the 256 GB variant is too expensive for me.
For the university I need the thing to take notes, surf, prepare presentations, etc.
For normal home use, I wanted to download Spotify and Netflix and maybe a few more apps.
On my iPad, however, I will have almost no pictures, videos or anything else, since I have all of this on my cell phone.
So is the 64 GB version sufficient for Microsoft Office, Netflix, Spotify and a few other unnecessary apps?
What do you all mean?
Yes 100%. I have an Ipad (Pro) with 64 GB and use it for everything except pictures and videos. It is enough. In the beginning you will need about 20 GB to install the new apps, but after that you have enough memory.
Yes, it will be enough for that. If the apps don't get too big and big, I think that's fine. Otherwise there's also iCloud where you could store insensitive data.
or another cloud service of your choice
64 GB is not that much for a tablet these days, but if you don't want to put pictures and videos on it, that should be enough. Of course, the 256 GB variant would be more secure but not vital in my opinion😉
But if you want to be on the safe side, you'd better take the larger version, otherwise 64 GB is still better than nothing
That should definitely be enough. I have an iPad Air with 64GB for school and I can handle it perfectly. If necessary, you can also pack the documents from the university into the cloud.
I use the iPad Pro 12.9 "2018 with 64GB
And it is more than enough! Also with pictures and a video or two. I personally use very intensively:
GoodNotes5
Pages & Numbers
Lightroom
Photoshop for iPad
LumaFusion
ProCreate
and accordingly have files of larger sizes that I work with and it works! Purely for notes, one or the other presentation with Keynote / PowerPoint, or scribbling in papers etc. Would even be less.
You also have the option:
Cloud
External hard drive (thanks to iPadOS)
Which should make your fear of "expandable" memory go away.
