but having trouble deciding between an M1 MBA and new iPad Pro.
I left the Mac domain fleetingly in a huff over a failed update and the encryption nightmare I was left in. But have been waiting on the iPad Pro. Ultimately it's still a tablet and can't do a lot of desktop stuff (and apps). If it's your only device you're probably going the same route as me and getting the MacBook.
Refurb store FTW. My 2013 MacBook lasted the duration so I've gone with the store saving again. MacBook Pro 13 M1, 16GB, 512GB inbound. Lands Wednesday.

About to abandon my Lenovo for something from Apple, but having trouble deciding between an M1 MBA and new iPad Pro. It's for personal use, photo editing, streaming, emails and occasionally more demanding use cases. My main concern is the debate over the limitations of iPadOS, but realistically I'm not concerned about Lightroom/Logic pro etc. and as far as I can see it's competant at everything else. Smaller battery life and lack of headphone jack on the iPad are also annoying.
On the edu store I could get a 512gb//16gb RAM MBA for roughly the same price as the new 12.9"/256gb/8gb RAM iPad Pro with a magic keyboard case. The former seems more future proof/sensible, but part of me just really wants that mini LED touch-screen...
Any thoughts on this stupid first world dilemma?
