Hello all,
I am considering purchasing a new iPad for college in August. I was wondering which one I should in fact purchase. They both seem to have the same memory capasity options, with only the cameras and retina display being different. I am totally blind, so I will not be viewing any photos. I will mostly be dealing with documents, for example, Pages, KeyNote, etc. Any recommendations would be helpful.
Thank you.

The pro tend to be for business. Someone show me his iPad and how he was able to get a case that you can connect a keyboard. Most people get the regular iPad. You might want to go to an apple store and check them out.

I have the IPad Pro and yes it will be a personal thing. The IPad Pro actually has 4 gig of ram which is more than the normal IPad. With voiceover this helps with crashing and gives you a pleasant experience. I’ve not had a crash or studdering like I do on my IPhone.

Apple just released a new iPad. I think the starting price is under $300. It seems to me that this would make it difficult to justify the big jump in price for the Pro. For me, I'd say spend the extra money on more memory in the iPad.

BTW, there might even be some additional savings for students.
