A “little powerhouse”, the Apple iPad Mini is ideal if you need a more portable iPad. It has a smaller 8.3-inch screen but that makes it the perfect middle ground between your phone and a laptop. Performance is pretty good from the A15 Bionic processor which is the same as the one on the iPhone 13. There’s support for the Apple Pencil too making it an ideal tablet for sketching out designs or taking notes. If you want a smaller tablet, this is perfect. Previous iPad Minis weren’t so great performance wise and had a smaller display, but the 6th generation model fixes that.

Offering incredible value, the iPad Air is a great option if you don’t want to splurge on the iPad Pro but you still want plenty of power. While the screen isn’t quite as good as the iPad Pro, everything else about it is high-end including its M1 processor. Thanks to plenty of accessory compatibility, it’s a good bet for when you need to be more productive, but is great for relaxing, too. All-day battery life keeps you going into the late hours without a charge.

The Apple iPad Pro with the powerful M4 chip is the newest iPad on the market, which makes it a bit of a surprise to see it discounted already.

Others include the 11-inch Ultra Retina XDR display, which delivers extreme brightness and contrast and features advanced technologies like ProMotion, True Ton, and P3 wide color. This iPad will have all of the performance you’ll likely need, as it features the aforementioned M4 chip, a processor Apple is also putting in many of its laptops to come.

  • OpenAI details stolen in cyberattack: NYT

    STORY: ChatGPT-maker OpenAI has been the victim of a cyber attack. That’s according to reports by the New York Times on Thursday. It says a hacker gained access last year to internal messaging systems. Details of the company’s artificial intelligence products were reportedly stolen. However, it’s thought the hacker didn’t actually get into the systems where OpenAI houses and builds its AI. There was no comment on the report from the Microsoft-backed firm. Executives reportedly informed staff and the board in April last year. They didn’t share the news publicly, as no customer data was stolen. The report says the incident wasn’t considered to be a national security threat, with the hacker not thought to have ties to a foreign government. OpenAI said in May that it had disrupted five covert influence operations that sought to use its AI for “deceptive activity” across the internet.
