Replacing 1st gen iPad

[IPeeInTheShowerOhYes]

So my iPad is getting very creaky now. It's slow, it has a warning up on YouTube that soon it's system will not support it, the BBC news site crashes it, Facebook crashes it, etc.
I want to replace it but is another iPad my best bet. I do love it but need to send occasional written documents (cv). Can you do that on new iPad? And if I'm just a casual user do I need air2 and all that.

Will all of my music transfer to a new iPad when I sign in to iTunes? And is there any way of transferring the music to an iPod without a laptop?

I was in the same position as you at Christmas IPee
My dh surprised me with an iPad Air 2 on Christmas eve!
Best thing ever.

saythat thank you.
Still balking at the 300 odd quid. But something will have to be done soon.

Make sure the iPad is backed up. Then, pick a new one. When you connect the new one, it will ask if you would like to restore form a back-up. Say yes. Within a few minutes, it will be as if you are holding the old iPad - except it will be a new one that works brilliantly.

If you'd consider a contract one there have been some very good deal around. I got an air a couple of months ago for £20 a month. My wife got a mini2 for the same price.
