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

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

Graphic novels, comics, manga/manhwa. Also travel… I’d rather bring my iPad Pro 11 with a thin external keyboard (an Apple Magic Keyboard for Mac, not the iPad case version). Much handier, durable, greater battery life, easier to charge and use on the plane or anywhere, and can do most things the Ma

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 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 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’ve had this with my last two iPad Pros. (iPads Pro?) Both the M1 Pro 11” and my current (the M4 equivalent). On each, once it hit 50 cycles, it dropped down roughly a % a week, then stabilised at 95% for the next 200+ cycles. Then it dropped again when it hit just under 300 cycles… and stabilised
