Ideal iPads to buy (Sales / DMs)
Goal: get Luis off “phone-only” and into a fast, reliable DM + calling setup. If you’re buying 2–3 devices, this is the cleanest stack.
/p/ipad-buy-list
Default recommendation:
iPad Air
+
Magic Keyboard
Buy list (choose 1 per person)
Best value (most teams)
iPad Air (13-inch)
— plenty of screen for DMs, docs, CRM, calendar.
Storage
: 256GB (safe default).
Connectivity
: Wi‑Fi is fine if they’re usually near hotspots; Cellular if they’re mobile all day.
Best “laptop replacement”
iPad Pro (13-inch)
— if you want max speed + best screen, or heavy multitasking.
Storage
: 256GB+.
Budget option
iPad (standard model)
— works, but smaller / slower multitasking feel.
Only do this if you’re trying to keep total cost down.
Do NOT buy for DM work
iPad mini
— too small to feel like an upgrade from a phone.
Accessories (this is what actually upgrades output)
Magic Keyboard
(or Apple keyboard folio) — makes it a real “DM machine”.
AirPods
(or any good headset) — for call blocks + fewer missed inbound calls.
USB‑C fast charger
+ cable (extra) — leave one at desk, one in bag.
Screen protector
+ case — because it’ll live in the field.
If Luis is mainly DM’ing: prioritize
screen size + keyboard
. If he’s calling a lot: prioritize
headset + notifications
.
Quick ops setup (15 minutes)
Install: Close mobile, Slack, Gmail, Calendar, Password manager.
Enable: Do Not Disturb schedules + VIP exceptions for inbound.
Pin: the DM apps and Close to the dock.
Make sure: iMessage in‑app browser cookie drop has fastpass fallback (
/p/fastpass-stress
to test).
