Answer :

Sounds like all he “needs” is the base model iPad ($329). Here is a comparison that you were looking for. Unless your husband were looking to do significant work with the Apple Pencil and other CPU-intensive tasks, the cheapest model is more than he needs. The base iPad is not a laminated display, meaning that there is a visible gap that makes artist-level pencil work difficult (plus, the base iPad is only compatible with the first generation Apple Pencil). Disclaimer: I do not have any of these or any Apple products. But I had a 2nd-gen iPad many years ago, and have had to research these fairly recently for relatives.
