Questions and answers
- Are these two listings the same iPad?
- Yes. Both are the 13-inch iPad Pro with the M4 chip and 256GB of storage. The specs match on screen, chip, battery and port.
- Which is better for drawing and note-taking?
- Either one. Both support Apple Pencil Pro with the same 10-120Hz ProMotion display and low latency. The cheaper eBay unit at $1,047 leaves more budget for the pencil.
- Is the MelroseMAC listing worth $252 more?
- Only if you value buying from an authorized reseller with simpler warranty and returns. The hardware is identical.
- Which lasts longer?
- They are the same device, so battery and build life are identical: about 10 hours per charge and a 38.99Wh battery that Apple rates for roughly 1,000 charge cycles.
- Do I need the cellular version?
- Only if you work away from Wi-Fi often. Both listings here are Wi-Fi models, and cellular adds cost plus a data plan.
- Is 256GB enough?
- For notes, streaming and documents, yes. For 4K video editing or large game installs, plan on external Thunderbolt storage or a higher-capacity model.
