Thanks to everyone who has replied .
Well i am convinced now to get a 12.9 ipad .
Looking at the prices for new ones i think it is best to hold on until 20th May as the new generation will be out.
If they discounted the 2020 versions i would be tempted.
It all depends now on how the new ones sell which may bring the price down.
Middle of May sounds good to get out and about as i have had my second injection.
I felt like a wet rag for four days after the second jab of pfhizer uuugh!!
Thanks all for the information, much appreciated. Thanks Bill for the link, good price for the cover.
Answering Eileen and Fred --- It is said the ipads can get hot if you have background apps running or a rogue app. Best to swipe them all out.
All the best
John
