Which iPad ?

Hey everybody I want to buy a iPad instead of a MacBook ( im going to high school ) i chose the iPad pro M1 with the Magic Keyboard and the Apple Pencil 2 but my dad suggested me to take the last M4 iPad pro for better performance with the latest M4 chip, the latest features and extensive Apple update support Ngl, it is REALLY expensive so i told him to why not take the iPad pro M2 to have a enough powerful chip that will last a long time and not be ruined by the way cuz the M4 cost around 1200 bucks So tell me if that’s a good idea 🙏🏿
