11” Air plus Pen Pro plus keyboard plus Apple Care comes in at north of £1,100…
Can’t see an option to finance it but perhaps that’s because I’m currently out of the UK.
I will sleep on it. I also want to replace my phone this year so… ouch.

From experience, the combination of hardware keyboard, stylus, and touch is limited by the OS trying to second-guess what input mechanism is in use. It can be pretty frustrating at times.

I dunno, it’s a tough one. My two use cases are: messing about in Procreate; and downloading video to watch while travelling and unable to stream. I can’t do either of those on my laptop. But do they justify dropping a grand?

You…. Can’t download video to your laptop? Is it from the 80s? :-D

I guess it’s because they are terrified of (more) piracy but that’s the reason I take my iPad away with me rather than my MacBook. Being able to download tv and movies on IOS streaming apps is a lifesaver.
