Hi All,

Our office use laptop died off recently. Thread: *geek.digit.in/community/threads/laptop-under-30k-for-thesis-work-and-ppt-doc-preparation.201292/

We were initially thinking to buy another laptop but now considering Tablet. Our use case:

1. Billing via Browser
2. Word and Excel program for quotations and related work.
3. PDFs
4. Scan and store docs.
5. Will start using it for media use ( streaming/movies/forums/etc )

iPad 10th Gen 64GB is around 29K online and 256GB is going to above 40K. Can any provide best discount option for iPad and also some options from Android world for the above use case.

Budget anywhere from 15-20K for Android Tablets and for iPad 10th Gen only.

Mi Pad 6 is the best android choice at this budget, might be 21k for 256GB variant

Purchased:
iPad 10th Gen 256GB.
Claiming GST on this, received ~INR 1725/- cashback through SBI. Final price around ~36800/-

Got to know the quirks of iPad now. While print works from ipad, not all printers have AirPrint support so have to save the print files in drive first and then open the Printer App and give print command from there. From these apps there is no option to do Draft print, only option is to set to monochrome print but it is still higher print quality and suck up the cartridge much fast than draft prints.

Bought a generic brand iPad Cover with Bluetooth keyboard for around ~2100/-
for Pencil, there are many third-party options available from as low as 400-500 INR to 2-3K one, Ill select one and buy in coming days.​
