It was also at $289 a bit cheaper than most Ipads I could see , although in my case that was not the driving factor.

For myself, I also noted the 8.4" screen was a significant improvement in readability over the 7" Google Nexus tablet I'd been using for several years. That extra 1.4" of real estate made quite a difference.
Mind, the basic iPad model frequently goes on sale. The 32GB Wi-Fi iPad 6th gen (2018) is currently $249 at Amazon and Walmart.
