Why the Apple iPad 9 (2021) is an ideal present

The iPad 9 (review) is a lightweight and sleek tablet made of aluminum chassis that makes it a great companion for an extended period. It has a 10.2-inch high-res display in a 4:3 aspect ratio and can be coupled with the 1st generation Apple Pencil for upgraded drawing and note-taking.

When it comes to internal hardware, the iPad 9 is no slouch. It has plenty of horses at its disposal, thanks to the A13 Bionic chipset, which smoothly handles multitasking and gaming. There is also a large 8557 mAh battery capacity that delivers phenomenal endurance for the Apple slab, lasting a few days in a modest setup between charges.
