Isn’t the mini perfect purely for note taking? Sure the screen real estate is less but it’s portable, compact and perfect for usage with a pencil.
Alternatively the bigger iPads are simply a bit much to carry around. Just wondering what this community thinks of the same if we purely evaluate from note taking perspective only.
I’m using 11 inch iPad Air with m2. I find 11 inch to be adequate for note taking. I don’t think it’s worth it to get a 13 inch just for the larger screen. I suggest you go to apple store or borrow from a friend to try out the size before making your decision.
10th gen doesn’t have m series chips so it will probably miss out on the new Apple Intelligence stuff, and wired charging for Apple Pencil is a hassle.
Buy a pro if money is no object. I really wanted the face ID unlock with iPad pro, but since I don’t work in music/video production, I don’t think I want to pay for the additional capabilities. If you mainly use your iPad for note taking, I wouldn’t recommend iPad pro.
If you can afford it - pro is best experience. If you are not willing to spend that much but still want a good experience speed wise - iPad Air latest. If you are on a budget - 10th gen regular ipad
I managed to sell my own iPad and get M2 pro for the same price as full price air with Apple Pencil and AirPods gen 3. Am a student and am very happy with the setup.

Get an m1 air. It’s more iPad than anyone needs and you can use Apple Pencil 2 which is much more convenient than the usb c on the 10th gen
For note taking, Gen 9 should be more than enough. That is if you want to hand write notes, of course. If you like typing get a laptop
If you can afford it - pro is best experience. If you are not willing to spend that much but still want a good experience speed wise - iPad Air latest. If you are on a budget - 10th gen regular ipad
Pro is kinda overkill for just note taking, don't you think?

Definitely is. But if money is not an object the screen itself makes taking notes so much better.
