Looking forward to this; more so the iPadOS



Seeing as I've just agreed to take VR today from Meta (whom I've worked for since April 2022); I'll be handing back my MBA

So I'll be buying myself an iPad Pro M4 13" - more so as I've got myself an M4 Mac Mini etc - but want the portability of the iPad rather than a MacBook now

The latest OS looks to be revolutionary - paired with the Apple Magic Keyboard it'll be a cracking set up

I’m on an iPad Pro 13 typing this, tends to be my go to in front of the TV or when I’m in the bath, or the garden and I want to watch some TV. That nano screen is great.

I have never picked it up to do work instead of my MBP as it just seems that bit more difficult and the MBP just as convenient to flip open the lid.

I read that OS26 across all devices is supposed to give them more of a common feel, let’s see how that pans out.

I bought an 11” M4 iPad Pro and magic keyboard last year and I’m really looking forward to the release of the new iOS. I also have a M3 Macbook Air with only 7 battery cycles in the last year, which shows how much I prefer the iPad. One of the reasons is the screen on the iPad is outstanding and I really notice the difference when I switch to the MBA.

The magic keyboard, whilst expensive, really transforms the iPad into something you can use everyday. That being said, my dream Apple release would be a new 12” Macbook with an M chip and a decent keyboard. The form factor of my old 2017 12” Macbook was superb.

Agree - 15" MBA M3 here (goes back on Monday) - so M4 iPad Pro 13" wifi/5G ordered yesterday and now on the hunt for a more sensibly priced Apple Magic Keyboard on eBay (I am not paying £400) laugh

I've gone for the Spigen Aramid case too which allows you to attach it to the case and its charges as it should; but then detach it for normal use too smile

Never had the 'big' iPad Pro before - looking forward to it landing

I also have a 15" MacBook Air M3, bought it for a new starter who didn't end up starting so I took it home with me for the wife/kids to use, I wasn't a fan of the speakers or the screen compared to the Pro tbh but the size if great for desktop use if a little on the large size for my laptop bag.

New 14" MBP with nano screen being delivered today so have a Pro with M2 Max/32GB/1TB SSD for sale if anyone is in need.

See I like the MBA - think it's a great device. Plus the budget I had was £1200 - so it fitted perfectly

Alas; can't keep it so will factory reset it this afternoon and box it up for collection on Monday. Sad times but it is what it is

Your Mac will sell in no time on eBay - they always do

I'll also put this here, absolutely no affiliation other than they're the only company I've found offering relatively decent value for money with real, good quality, leather. I'm the geek with matching laptop/ipad/phone cases tongue out
