The iPad itself I found a little too big and I my Lappi anyway and this did it was not absolutely necessary to have a tray. Nevertheless, one had to be because I am involved in online business and an iPad, was needed for testing pages.
I let the kids at random as a buddy lent me his. I purchased the same basic model and am very happy with this. Everything works fine and 16GB suffice me. Although not Retina I am in spite of very satisfied with the quality screen.
