iPad 10.9-inch Entry Level

The foundation. 10.9-inch Liquid Retina display. Large enough for Excel columns, small enough for Coffee Bean tables. No need for the "Pro" version to just take notes and draw charts.

Apple Pencil (USB-C) Essential

Magnetically attaches to the side (so you don't lose it). Charges via USB-C cable. Precise enough for your architectural diagrams and quick enough for meeting minutes.

Killer feature for you: Audio Sync. Record the meeting while you scribble. Tap a word later, and it plays back what was said at that exact moment. Also makes your handwriting searchable.

Matte Screen Protector Shopee MY
