I have an iPad Air 2 that I use as my clock now. 'Hey Siri, what time is it'. The time is 8:13am, Good morning'.
Don't stress about iPads, unless you travel a lot, an iPhone will be better.
My friend uses an iPad for everything, and its his thing, he sits on couch around family and can email and use the internet.
Personally, if you BUY one now, just get the regular iPad, you can order one online at apple. I believe buying from the source.
