Halcyon Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 We're going to invest in an iPad for our homeschool and I'm trying to figure out how much memory I will need. I won't download many apps, I don't think, except for educational. We will view some textbooks on there, and probably download Notability. Is 16 enough? Thanks.

DawnM Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I got 32 and am already over 16 and I don't feel I have that much on there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fraidycat Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 The bigger, the better. :D I always go for more memory than I think I'll need, and am usually quite grateful for that in the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tabrett Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Get 32. You might be suprised how much you like and use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamaraby Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I'd agree with a pp, get the most memory you can afford. Personally, though, I'd go for the 32GB at the very least. I have the 64GB and quite a few apps (educational ones mostly), videos, music, ebooks and PDFs. Right now I'm around 16GB. My iPad is what finally pushed me to pretty much paper free so it's worth it to have the storage space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mamajag Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I vote 32 GB because the OS will take up quite a bit of space. I have a 16 GB iPhone with homeschool docs on it, and it's full. I have a 64 GB original iPad with about 45 GB used. Keep in mind all the cool textbooks and such they just demo'd will take rough 1.5 to 2 GB. Of course, you can sync them as needed, but it's something to keep in mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommyof4ks Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 It depends on whether or not you intend to use icloud. I can easily pop things on and off of my iPad to and from cloud, so I will be getting the smaller 16 this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazyforlatin Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 (edited) 32. I returned the 16 because after loading just a few SM bar model apps, I was close to full. I didn't even have that many apps since I only had it for a month, but if you are planning to use it for a longer period of time, I don't see how 16 would be enough unless you are willing to sync frequently or use iCloud. I prefer to have everything on an iPad. Are you using it to watch movies? I wouldn't mind syncing movies however, but I haven't purchased any yet. The question should be 32 or 64. :D Edited March 8, 2012 by crazyforlatin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Momma H Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 When computers first came out for people to buy I remember we could buy either a 40 meg hard drive or a 100 meg hard drive. My dad said I would never use 40 whole megs and just get that. Within a couple of years we had programs bigger than 40 megs Funny how things change! Get the biggest you can afford.
