I had an iPad but it was getting on. Updates were no longer available. I found with only 16 gig i was having to move stuff or think about what I wanted. A few months ago I bought a new one 128 gig. I use very little of it but I don’t have to worry about room etc. For the extra peace of mind the extra cost was worth it. (Only about $150 or so after complaining that a poor ole pensioner needs the tool and a discount). OK Garage band is a nice toy I thought I would be laid up for some time and it would keep me amused but nah it is not my style. I converted my mixed tracks to MP3 and put my tracks on the iPad and listened on a different device which was good I found some nuances I did not like so edited a lot of my stuff yet again.

If you are going to use external interfaces etc on it make sure they can work with it. There is only one sound port and one Apple port. You can get a camera kit to connect other interfaces. You may need to supply external power to drive some devices as the iPad might not provide enough power. (I don’t use the iPad this way). I understand the MIDI keyboard I have will work fine with the iPad and they even supply tools with it.

My main uses for the iPad are mail, internet and I use it largely for these forums. I can sit in my lounge chair, relax and watch tv and the forums.
