Is the 5th Gen iPad Air (M1) still powerful enough today?

Is the 5th Gen iPad Air (M1) still powerful enough today? Yes it is I found a used 64GB iPad Air 5 (M1) for the same price as a brand-new, sealed 128GB iPad 11 (A16). Do you think it's worth the trade-off? Do not get a 64 GB iPad in 2026

No new ipad 12th gen.....

Apple has way too many iPad models. iPad Air should be the base iPad at $399. The lineup should be Air, Pro, Mini. I really enjoy my M1 Air but I waited until it dropped to $399. There’s no way I can justify getting it at $599, even the new M4 that just came out… the screen is my biggest gripe and t

Asus Co-CEO: MacBook Neo Is a 'Shock' to the PC Industry

Yup, that's how I got roped into the Apple ecosystem. I was a die hard Linux user for so many years, I loved hacking and ricing, and hated Apple's walled garden. Then I got the cheap $250 iPad for note-taking in college, and thought it was really nice, so I also bought an iPhone for my next phone a

Which is better for me, an A16 or an Air M1?

The M1 iPad is obviously more powerful than the a16 iPad. However if you’re buying 2nd hand, the battery health might not be in the best condition. And you’ll have to make sure you buy the 256gb iPad, because 64gb won’t be enough. If you find one in good condition for a good price, go for it. The a1

Apple MacBook Neo review: Can a Mac get by with an iPhone’s processor inside? - Arstechnica

One of the biggest things i've come to terms with recently is realising that i don't need the highest end stuff to get by. I'm just spending money for the sake of it when lower tier stuff can do exactly what i need for the same performance but costs less. Selling my 4090 for cash + 9070XT was a grea

Good all-in-one mini synth for just starting out?

I will double down on this comment: a used iPad Air M1. The cheapest future proof unit currently with apple silicon and usb-c. And then just go at it with AUM to host everything and things like Bleass Monolit (free), AudioKit Synth One (free), Hammerhead (classic drum machine), etc etc.

MacBook Neo Charging Test: Here's Which Apple Charger is the Fastest

£618 includes VAT It's £515 not including VAT £515 converts to $687 which is $87 (14.5%) more than the US price of $599 Is that fair? Probably not.

Is the iPad Air (M3) that much better than the iPad A16?

iPad Air has M processor, 8GB RAM, Apple Pencil 2 support, laminated display with better colour support and anti-reflective coating, and the ability to use Apple Stage Manager on an external display. Even a refurbished M1 iPad Air (direct from Apple online store) is better than the recent base iPad.
