iPad Pro

Not long-term — RAM matters more than the processor, and the base M5 jumping from 8GB to 12GB says enough. Do what I do: spread the cost of 1 iPad over ~7 years, but get new every 2: Buy new, ~40–50% off, 1-year-old, higher-end 16 GB model OR similar priced Apple Refurbished or open box iPad (usuall

5 Years MINIMUM! And with the M chip you can stretch this easily if you can carry on confidently without security updates. They don't get the physical abuse that a smartphone goes through (less falls on hard floors, and extreme heat exposure) mostly used indoors and they have less operating hours th

It’s a win for consumers but not necessarily for Apple’s bottom line. But yeah their stuff is lasting a lot longer these days. My M1 iPad Pro from 2021 is still crushing it and I think my M4 Mac Mini will last 5+ years easily.

If you want an iPad Pro buy one. But don't do it on the premise of "saving" your Air. I tried having both an M4 iPad Pro and a 16" MacBook Pro. It didn't work for me having two devices. I ended up selling both and buying a 15" M4 air. Apple batteries will generally last many years with high battery

Same here, but on a long time scale it’s amazing how integral of a role it plays. Before my current M4, my old iPad Pro 9.7 lasted me for 8 years and saw so many phases of my life. There were periods of barely any use, but through going back to school, running a small business, a work tablet, video

I made the slight mistake of not getting enough RAM for my creative work on my MacBook Pro with M4P base Coming from an iPad Pro M4, I’m thinking I’m already spending enough, haven’t worked on a computer to know what I need. But turns out there’s a lot of bloat in creative software, especially Adobe

I’m using iPads with Apple Pencils since the 2nd generation of iPad Pro. Never used a screen protector (only folio cases) and never ever had any scratches.

I have the Logitech combo touch for my 13” M5 iPad Pro and I think it’s great. Seems durable. Has an Apple pen cutout. Keyboard detaches while the iPad itself still has a back cover with a kick stand. Feels nice. Keys feel good and trackpad actually is usable. I honestly like it better than the Appl

For me, I'll never buy an iPhone. I love my Mac though, but I won't buy an iOS device anymore. I bought an iPod Touch, and Apple made the device terribly slow with iOS 7. After that I bought an iPad Pro 9,7" and it bricked after an iOS upgrade. I don't remember which one. After repairing it in the s

I'm the inverse. whenever I have both, I neglect the shit out of one and use the ot her 90% of the time. I finally sold my iPad Pro, my Macbook Pro is just more enjoyable to use outside of laying on my couch. I did iPad only for 6 months or so, but I felt like I needed more.
