May I ask why you need 1 TB on the device if you're at home? Can't you store it externally? A 1TB external SSD is about £150. A 1TB iPad or Surface is what, £2000?
Or, if you bought a user-upgradeable laptop you could add a 1TB SSD for about £100 (I think you can still do that with some Macbooks?)

I just want to minimize the number and size of my devices.
For buying new (1 T) within the Apple world the iPad Pro 11” seems to be the cheapest way.
It’s about $2000 CAD, so actually less than I paid for the MacBook Pro about 9 years ago.
Even a regular MacBook with that amount of memory would be more, and being a two finger typist I don’t believe I’d require a physical keyboard.

I'm currently getting by with 512 GB and want to keep everything stored locally (2010 Macbook Pro).
I only use Apple Photos for editing so my needs are primitive.
The unit would stay home 99% of the time.
Fuck Apple and their disappearing hardwire capabilities, but dongles would still do the job I suppose.
