Doesn't seem like a bad price for a brand new ipad 11th gen. One of the best aspects of these cheaper ipads is the fact that since it doesn't have a laminated screen, it's much easier and cheaper to get the screen repaired. Perfect if you're getting an ipad for someone who is prone to dropping their device (please don't buy your toddler an ipad)

sharing this info for I was looking it up myself
11th gen introduced in 2025, 6gb of ram w/ the A16 chip
10th gen introduced in 2022, 4gb of ram w/ the A14 chip
_9th gen introduced in 2021, 3gb of ram w/ the A13 chip
_8th gen introduced in 2020, 3gb of ram w/ the A12 chip
_7th gen introduced in 2019, 3gb of ram w/ the A10 chip
_6th gen introduced in 2018, 2gb of ram w/ the A10 chip
I was looking up this new models ram for my 2021 9th gen is long in the tooth with only 3gb of ram. Works great for some things struggles with others. For this price I may be upgrading soon.
(was also considering some of the 8" androids with 8gb of ram for $150 to $300 depending on which model)
For all those people that are saying "not enough RAM", what is your usecase? I have an old iPad with 2GB of ram that I still use regularly for YouTube and meetings.

Or could just get a $10 tpu case and prevent damage from drops Lol
Any computer or tablet will ship with two types of memories: RAM and storage. Most people refer to RAM when they say memory. This tablet ships with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage.
RAM stands for random access memory and is used when the device is doing work. A device with less RAM tends to be slower. This iPad has 6GB of RAM. The current top of the line iPad pros ship with 8GB of RAM for the 256GB/512GB versions and 16GB of RAM for the 1TB/2TB versions. I think 6GB RAM for this version is definitely sufficient for non pro tasks. The previous entry level iPad (10th gen iPad) had 4GB of RAM.
Storage is what is used to keep your data on the device. This includes pictures, videos, movies, music, apps, the OS, and other things. I think 128GB of storage is plenty for a tablet. If you need more storage, you could use iCloud, keep your extra data on a USB C flash drive, or buy the version with more storage (256GB for $427 on Amazon).
In short, I think this tablet's specs are sufficient for the average user.

Not enough memory to do much with these days tbh. Updates will eat that up right away. But d steer clear of it unless you absolutely have to have it at that price. I have on with this much ram that I got about 8 years ago. It's full.
Not true. This tablet has more than sufficient memory for the average person.

I use an android Samsung tablet when traveling so I can put a lot of media on it. This would mostly be used at home.

Yes, 64gb is gone pretty fast with updates and if you download very many apps at all. I learned this the hard way.

I only use it for YouTube and web browsing.
