Not long-term — RAM matters more than the processor, and the base M5 jumping from 8GB to 12GB says enough.

True but unfortunately there are some people that prefer new over refurbished and not everyone has the same needs as me & you I do agree that the usb c pencil isn’t great for drawing due to no pressure sensitivity and the Apple Pencil 1st generation is good but an absolute hindrance to charge & conn

For instance, the iPad Pro with the M5 chip and its 10-core GPU and CPU is a beast. It’s like a MacBook Pro,

For me I find it turns the iPad into just enough of a MacBook replacement that if I’m traveling I only bring my iPad and Magic Keyboard. I can accomplish 95% of what I need to get done, albeit sometimes a bit more clumsily. For me the biggest limitations on the iPads productivity are the apps themse

Apologies up front for the length of this reply, but as you’ve no doubt realised, it’s a common query and like most iPad Pro users, I’ve considered both options in the past. I’ve had iPads since the very first one, and moved to Pros when they were released. But I’ve always used the smaller model. Th
