Try to be reasonable when asking your parents for an iPad. Explain the advantages of owning it and let them make a list of disadvantages to compare. If they still say no, don’t push it — wait until they’re in a good mood, and talk to them then.
See customer reviews on the iPad at certain selling sites. If you don’t want to pay full price, check out eBay or Amazon for a used iPad. Try to find a good deal, or trade. You could offer to pay half of the price if your parents seem a little unconvinced.
Ask for it on birthdays, special occasions, Christmas.
