sorted byWe had one and was mostly used for youtube, netflix. And kids used for games.
How many can one person/account/membership buy??
3x of these (iPad 9th gen), much better value than 1 x iPad Pro 11” M1 2tb from Costco for £799 - which was still a mega deal. I have one of each. — Quick Review — Both reload browser pages, but Pro much less so. - Both work same with Pencil, Pro’s laminated screen feels little more solid (less hollow). - Pro inability to split onscreen keyboard is daft Apple design decision - even my large hands struggle to cover width of Pro’s 11” keyboard in landscape orientation, and narrow screen edge means many more typing mistakes, especially the tab key. - Pro’s sound much better, especially in landscape (more bass/complete, but not much if any extra volume). - Pro’s usb-c connection awesome for Monitor connection (stage manager), BUT Charges the Battery and leaves it at 100% (against Apple Storage Advice for battery longevity), this my biggest complaint, WHY DESTROY Battery Prematurely, they should know by now. - Pro with 2tb storage, almost impossible to use, without severe crippling limitations, or a whole collection of 2tb Apple products along with iCloud+ 2tb Sync Service (video editing with luma, and Microsoft 365 OneDrive, might be options/workarounds, but why need a workaround, why not have multiple Photo Libraries, with option To Sync or Not To Sync each one). - Delay waiting for onscreen keyboard same on both, disappointing. Performance in general, for most daily tasks, same on both (bar browser tab reloads). - Pro’s promotion 120hz does nothing for me, both have beautiful Retina Screen - I was raised on 72dpi Mac Screens, with font’s only looking halfway nice at a few default sizes (9, 10, 12, 18, 24, 36, 72pt, etc.). - Audio connector on iPad 9th Gen should be mandatory in my view. - Pro’s wireless Pencil much more practical, and nicer texture to hold. - Pro’s ‘Tap Screen’ to wake awesome, Face ID unreliable on Pro, made worse which case as camera & volume controls on wrong side in landscape orientation, and need to uncover with hand. - 9th easier to hold and type in landscape, older iPad Air 2 (9.7” even easier). - iPad Pro and 9th better build quality than newer iPad Air M1 which flexes, and has screen image pixel collapse (distortion, smearing) when used with Pencil. - Pro 5x Studio Mics slightly better quality, but no match for separate recorder or mic. - Pro’s LIDAR camera is a gimmick for making 3d models of objects, but still very impressive, just not a finished feature yet. - For most users, I think Pencil is a waste (how anyone takes notes in real life with it I have no idea, and I cant draw for toffee), and same thought for Magic Case Keyboards, just get Logitech K380 and Pebble Mouse if needed. - SUMMARY, Pro’s may be worth 50% more money (list prices), but not 100% or more, thus opinion for most daily uses (browsing, email, streaming, writing, basic photo editing), iPad 9th Gen best choice.
Older, 5th and 6th gen iPad, only have 2gb RAM, like the original iPad Air 2 - this is limiting, 4gb is better. - iPad 9th gen has 3gb, Air 4gb, Pro 8/16gb. (edited)
Thanks OP
Looks like the 5 star membership automatically renews so watch out for that!
Also have to phone up to cancel annoyingly. (edited)
This offer was handy as it was cheapest for iPad and membership thrown in which makes my fridge purchase cheaper.
You do also get the removal/recycle and packages taken away. But I’m only buying 1 fridge a year.
Great if you are just moving somewhere and buying everything from AO but then I’m guessing you’re not getting the best value overall.
Cooling off period – changing your mind
Your statutory ‘cooling off period’ is the 14-day period from when you initially sign-up to an AO Five Star Membership.If you change your mind during the ‘cooling off period’, you can cancel your membership and receive a full refund. If you have used any membership benefits by the point you choose to cancel we may issue you a partial refund by deducting the price of any benefit you would have had to pay for had you not been an AO Five Star member (e.g. the delivery charge or a Remove & Recycle charge). If the value of the benefits you have already used at the point you cancel exceed the price of the membership, you will not be eligible for any refund of the membership fee.If you cancel during the ‘cooling off period’, you’ll no longer have access to any of the AO Five Star benefits with immediate effect.

Doesn't seem like Amazon Prime, where one can do it legitimately with one other household without risk. (edited)
Our kids (no manchester accent) school are in some iPad scheme for homework and this would have been perfect.
If i was smarter and quicker i would have got a bunch of parents together and sorted this out for us all. (edited)
Took the plunge as it’ll only get worse and I’ve had it 5 years.
I suppose the question to ask yourself is do you think in 2 years time you will be able to upgrade for £300.
Not work with Apple Pencil 2 tho. The magnetic one, with flat side, and NO cap hiding lightening connector. (edited)
Anyone know if the below is any good? Reviews look good!

if operating finicky sliders for photo processing, or highlighting text, no issue. BUT for ‘pro create’ painting, or calligraphy, NEEDs pressure control. (edited)
Thanks op lol

From ao.com/hel…-cs
"Your AO Five Star membership is personal to you, this means that you can’t share or transfer it (or any of the individual benefits including discounts) to anyone else.
AO can take any action we consider appropriate, including removing or suspending AO Five Star Membership, if we have reason to believe you are abusing the membership service or offers."
Also preferably in the same town/city perhaps, so it's easy to have items picked up or delivered from/to each other's houses instead of posting out - large appliances could be a right hassle! You might get away with adding your sharer's address as the delivery address, but then again it could backfire if they suspect one is sharing.
