Selecting a tablet was not a difficult task a few days ago, given that Apple dominates this category you either opted for one of the two iPad Pros, or went with the basic iPad. And that was pretty much it, unless you wanted an older model.

And the price gulf between those models was so vastthe basic model started at Rs 28,900 while the most affordable iPad Pro started at Rs 71,900that the choice was not a difficult one to make, and more often than not, got totally dictated by your budget.

However, with Apple launching two new iPadsthe iPad Air and the iPad minisuddenly those in the market for an iPad have more options than they perhaps ever did in the past.

At the time of writing, you could choose between as many as five different kinds of iPad, each coming with its own pros and cons, and each at different price points as well. So which one should you go for if you are looking for a really good tablet?

Here is a handy guide:

1. 12.9-inch iPad Pro

Rs 89,900 onwards

If you are looking for an iPad that can step in for your notebook, then look no further than this one. Yes, you can get some very good notebooks (including its arch-rival the Surface from Microsoft ) for its starting price of Rs 89,900, but the 12.9-inch iPad Pro is simply the most powerful tablet out there.

At 633g, it is also incredibly light for its size. Apple claims its A12X processor can even match the Intel Core i9 and while you would need to spend a little bit more to get the smart keyboard and Apple Pencil that complete its notebook identity, it is a brilliant device thanks to the processor, the sheer quality of the 12.9 inch Liquid Retina display with relatively small bezels, and four speakers.
