The price of an iPad can vary fairly widely, and each one can meet different needs and budgets. If you're looking for a basic multimedia and browsing slate, with the option for some mild productivity uses, the basic 64GB iPad with just Wi-Fi will cost you a mere $329. It's a great option for students, in particular. On the most costly end, the 12.9-inch iPad Pro starts at $999 for the base 128GB Wi-Fi model, but you can make it as expensive as a laptop if you load it up with extra storage and cellular connectivity. The Pro series is more geared toward productivity, with the compact iPad mini and iPad Air falling in the middle ground of these two extremes, offering a mix of multimedia and productivity.
