Buying an iPad Pro to read manga is an overkill to be honest. :s22:

:p that's the original plan getting iPad mini problem is the cheapest right now is more expensive than iPad 9" (which I dislike also coz of screen)... 3 year old+ model too

My original reader was actually iPad mini 2 and last was iPad Pro 12" (also too big)

If it is just about the screen, then there are other tablets out there that have great screen. I feel you are wasting your money to get the iPad Pros to use mainly as a reader. You won't benefit from the processing power, and the fast refresh rate. I've used an iPad Air and Air 2 before. Between the 2, the former does not have a laminated screen, but I don't think it is a problem.

Just input passcode.

Input pass code is not difficult, this I agree. I just don't want to pay for something that makes it more inconvenient for me.

Moreover, I feel the current iPad Pro suits my needs well enough with a massive 512GB of storage. I used to lug my iPad Air 2 whenever I travel for entertainment and also to process pictures taken on my camera. All these, and I got a nice 24% discount from the original price, i.e. 1126 vs 1488 for the WIFI only version.

not really fan of Android specially tablet class. iPad pros has more advantage and uses for me the sounds alone is more superior than iPad/mini default storage at 64gb value wise if you're comparing the range between devices 200-300 more difference with 3 year old model I would invest more on newer iPad Pro (normally pick the up to date specs over old when picking new)

so unless new mini release, I am still sticking on iPad Pro plan :p the main purpose is for manga reading which mini is perfect at but can't justify buying expensive 2015 release model.

2 year old model not advisable ba. Its going to be obsolete faster than you think. Price wise 9.7 at local stores aren’t that cheap either

It is not slow at all. The X variant SOC are always better than what is used in iPhones, in both CPU and GPU. The only limiting factor on the Pro 9.7 is the amount of ram, i.e. 2GB. But iOS based on my experience is very efficient when it comes to usage of memory, so even the top end iPad now don't need more than 4GB. It is good to have, but not necessary.

May be can get an Apple refurbished set. They are as good as new and comes with a full year warranty.
