Buying call

The 7th-gen iPad grew the screen to 10.2 inches (2160x1620), added the Smart Connector for keyboard covers and bumped memory to 3GB, while keeping the A10 Fusion chip, Touch ID and first-gen Apple Pencil support. It's a capable everyday tablet. But the A10 is old, the cameras are mediocre, the bezels are thick and the base model has only 32GB.
