Hey guys I have a question.
The ipad Air will be my first ipad.
Plan to cop this weekend.
My question is, are the extra 16gb worth the extra 100$ plus tax?
Right now I plan to get the wifi 16gb.
My uses for it will be small business related. Fitness apps, quick books, finance apps, PDF files...etc.
I'm not a video editor or going to be stuffing my ipad with photos or too many songs like my iPhone.
Mostly want to use the Internet to browse, use the IPAd to study Ebooks and PDF files, and download useful apps for my business.
I just want to make sure 16gb is enough for that for the long haul. If any small business guys can chime in and help me out before Friday I'd appreciate it.
100 bucks seems pricy for just 16 GB extra space. But I don't wanna find myself out of space in 6 months...
My 2nd question is, besides online cloud type storage... Is there any way to externally store files for an ipad? I know it doesn't have a USB to connect to a real external drive... Are there any beneficial ways around that to have external storage available to plug in somehow?
Reps for any help!
I would say...if your usage is exactly as you say 16gb will be fine. However, once you have your ipad, your consumption of media may begin to change.
My use is similar to yours, minus the business aspect. I mainly just browse the internet at home, read Magazines that I subscribe to, and stream games from my cable box if I'm slow at work or bored to tears in my Thursday evening class. I don't really game, watch videos, or listen to music on my 16 gb ipad. However, I'd make the case for you to at least go one step higher.
In instances where I've really, really wanted to use my ipad for entertainment (a long day of multiple flights), I've found that the 16gb isn't enough. Episodes of shows can run up to near 3 gb per, which is gonna get you like 3-4 of hours of viewing max.
