In the past day Apple has been in the news by renewing its famous line of tablets , offering a new proposal for users with less purchasing power (in addition to the iPad Pro ) under the name of the eighth generation iPad . It is an improved version that takes the powerful A12 Bionic chip, accompanied by Neural Engine, for the first time to the cheapest model.

Those interested in getting this device can purchase it from Apple’s official site from this Friday, September 18 at a base price of 379 euros and it has modern elements such as a 10.2-inch Retina screen, advanced cameras and battery life that it promises a duration for a whole day.

Features of the new 8th Gen iPad: Eighth generation iPad: now available from 379 euros

iPad 8 Gen is available in three colors

The most interesting thing about this team is the presence of the A12 Bionic chip with Neural Engine that promises to improve the input experience with the advantages of the most powerful iPad to date. Its performance optimization is based on a CPU that is 40% faster while its graphics capacity is doubled.

For those who do not know what the “Neural Engine” technology is about, it is a machine learning system, including occlusion of people and movement tracking in augmented reality applications, improvements in photo editing and in the performance of the Siri virtual assistant, among others.

In this way, the 8th generation iPad can be up to twice as fast compared to a laptop with Windows operating system , up to three times faster than the most popular tablet with Android and up to six times faster than the typical Chromebook in the market.

How could it be otherwise, the equipment will be updated from the factory with the iPadOS 14 version that has just been released last Wednesday, so elements such as multi-touch capacity for its screen and integration of the Apple Pencil with the iPad are incorporated to increase the ease with which writing and note-taking are performed.

The new iPad (8th generation) can be purchased both on the website and in Apple Stores in more than 25 countries and regions around the world. For Spain, a price of € 379 has been chosen for models with Wi-Fi and € 519 for models with Wi-Fi + Cellular. There will also be storage options with 32GB or 128GB capacity, as well as three colors: silver, space gray, and gold.
