Hi there, long story short, my trusty iPad Air 2 (2014 I believe) call it quits and left me on the hunt for a new one.
My use case is web browsing, remote desktop (vnc viewer), some light photoshop, youtube, etc.
Thing is, in my country the prices are...crazy to say the least...I saw the iPad Air 5th gen somewhere between 900 usd to 1400 usd for the 64gb model.
A friend of mine who lives in Europe is coming to visit in about a month or so, and he offered to bring me one from there.

I found two models that caught my attention:

iPad Air 5th Gen 256gb for 825 euros
iPad Pro 11 inch 4th gen 256gb for 1069 euros

I know both are way overkill for my use case but since I intend on keeping the device for as long as possible, the question is: will I be missing out if I buy the air over the pro? I don't mind spending a little more if it will give me a better deal in the long run.

I know that the new 2024 models are just around the corner but my friend won't return for another visit for at least a couple years, so I have to decide in the next couple of days if I want him to bring me one.

Any input is appreciated.

      You may want to reword what you said about compatibility. What you said it correct but being clearer like "Unfortunately, it is not compatible with Xbox or PlayStation consoles.".

      I am more worried about other drivers on the road not so much the vehicle I am in driving or not. I have little trust in an AI driven car reacting well to a car with a driver doing something random, raging, and/or not following the rules of the road.
