Our take on the Apple iPad 8th Gen (10.2") 2020 WIFI + Cellular

The iPad 8th Gen is Apple's 2020 entry-level tablet, with a 10.2-inch Retina display, the A12 Bionic chip and a Home button with Touch ID. The Cellular version adds mobile data, so it works away from Wi-Fi. It runs iPadOS and supports the first-generation Apple Pencil and the Smart Keyboard, which the cheaper Android tablets often lack. Reviewers call it the best value in the iPad line for everyday tasks, though the screen and design are older than the iPad Air's.

Yes for basic use: browsing, streaming, notes and schoolwork. If you need a laminated screen or USB-C, the iPad Air is the better fit.
