Creative Q runs on any iPad. Here's what we suggest for the best experience at the studio counter.
iPad (A16) 11"
~$349 · 128GB
The sweet spot. Plenty of power for the dashboard, order intake, and barcode/QR scanning. Great rear camera for customer self-intake scans.
iPad Air (M3)
~$599 · 11" or 13"
Smoother with many orders and photos open. The 13" is ideal if it's your primary studio workstation that staff look at all day.
Accessories
Rugged case suggested
Grab a rugged case (OtterBox or Lifeproof) — studios are dusty. Apple Pencil isn't needed for Creative Q. Avoid the 9.7" iPad; the screen feels cramped for the order list.
