    Don’t buy this even as a beginner, spend a little extra and buy one with fan unit in the station, best to buy RF4 H2 hot air station but buy it from china if you want it £60 or around 75usd. The station in the video won’t do higher demanding stuff like consoles and laptops, I’m not saying it won’t do anything on them but alot of things it won’t handle, there’s even a review on KZread about it and he shows how bad it is compared to a atten one

But our Poles use JBC's which... we all know that a kid like me isn't going to pay 500$ (or 2500zł) for one. Later i also picked up the FM-2032 micro pencil when i was in the US.

    Well this is awkward, this is my iPad that I've used since like 2018 haha! The most problematic iPad would have been my old iPad 3, that thing was so slow as the iOS updates came through to it! The only issues now with my iPad Pro 9.7 inch is that it lags considerably in Call of Duty Mobile and apps now. It used to run perfectly fine during the CoD Mobile Championship of 2020, 2021, but since then yeah... Noticeable frame drops even in Hogwarts Mystery, and its not a storage issue since I have 256GB on it. I had all the accessories to make it a 'replacement for your computer'. I'll never understand how Apple still try to push this agenda because it's just not a computer and never will be! Maybe if you're a GCSE student, but beyond that, you'll need a computer for serious work.

    oh i used to have my ipad pro 9.7" when it was bought in late 2016 too, it was to replace my ipad air 1 for running out of storage and laggy performance. it lasted 4 years with several issues with it, shortly after its warranty expired it came with itunes screen logo even though i didn't touch any buttons and it didn't have any bent points, trying to recover or restore it it still failed, so that i had to send mine to the well-known technician i used to fix there, he told me that NAND chip (SSD) itself died, so a bad luck began. not only did i lose all of datas for NAND chip replacement, using for a while after repairing it got many hardware issue symptoms: death of front camera, "panic full" occurence, screen acting crazy (half of touch screen unresponsive permanently, sometimes not turning on), overheating, etc (not sure if it was my technician's fault or not) but i felt unsafe of continuing using my ipad pro 2016 anymore, though it did last 2 more years until its death. it's fortunate that i got my ipad pro 11" 2020 on christmas day 2020, and i had moved 2nd data on my pro 9.7" before it stopped working completely 😮‍💨. i have been impressed on my current ipad, that i use it nonstop about 3+ years without any issues like older ipads i had used 🥰. to my defence ipad pro 9.7" wasn't a bad tablet, even to this day it's still the best ipad for those looking for light demands, such as entertainment, some gaming, web browsing, drawing, and more, while going for secondhand + budget saving, and still having 4 speakers, great display (apart from 60hz refresh rate), additional flash light (though very light used) but now you can have better options than this one. additional comment: i used to feel happy when upgrading to pro 9.7" from air 1. performance, screen, camera, bunches of technologies, and many more, were everything. and i got it with 128gb, my air 1 was 32 so i used it as an opportunity since my demand began higher. as with many issues i experienced on my pro 9.7", even to this moment i don't see a point why pro 9.7" should be a recommendation when buying a used tablet. there are still some other pro 9.7" users using for a long period don't have any issues, so it's still fine to see the great condition, despite no longer getting latest ipadOS update support as it is (along with its bigger variant, 12.9", and other older ones)
