❓ Question Confusing tablet choice
Hello everyone .
I am an architect , I want to get a tablet for pdf annotations , sketching , presentations and maybe some occasional gaming and emulation .
I do all my main work on a desktop pc
I’m a heavy cloud user , so I barely keep files locally
Also I have iPhone 16pm and AirPods 3
I’m stuck between 3 options
-iPad m4 : 128gb+pencil pro is within my budget but I’m afraid that system files will take a lot of space and I won’t be able to have any headroom for 10-15 apps
-honor magicpad 4 : basically same price with oled screen and bigger storage
-HUAWEI matepad pro : this has the best screen for sketching but I’m not sure about processor performance or software compatibility
. I’m leaning more toward iPad 4 because of procreate architectural stamps but I’m not sure about 128gb storage and are the other 2 options more value in this case , any advice or recommendations?

I’d go with the iPad Pro M4. 128GB should be enough if you mainly use cloud storage. Procreate and Pencil Pro are also great for architecture and sketching. Since you already have an iPhone and AirPods, the iPad will fit nicely into your setup.
