iPad Air or Pro - M1.M2

If Apple could make the iPad M1 more like a proper full fat Mac Mini M1, I would suggest it.

LTT did a review of the iPad M1 and they tried to do proper photo and video editing on it and they couldn't. That makes it a waste.

If Apple have improved the ability to complete work functions on the iPad, I would say go for it.

I would also argue that a Mac Mini M1 is one of the best products Apple have ever made since it performs well, sips power and has great resale value. The cons are that it doesn't come with a keyboard or mouse or screen but those could be things you would incur anyway with an iPad.

They won’t do that as it’d make the entire line up so confusing. They’d have to do away with the macbook air.

The ipad with macos on it would be amazing but it’s just not going to happen with the current line Up.
 
Ok, so deffo going for a Pro, I might see if I can pick one up duty-free on my next tip out somewhere, either inbound or outbound, in which case I'll get the M2 128gb 11' version, failing that, I'll see what I can pick up for £900 on Black Friday as I'll be back in the UK on the 30th...
 
So, turns out São Paulo and Montivideo are both a bit crap on the Duty Free front..
However Curry’s have the last gen iPad Pro 11’s for £200 cheaper than the new ones, so has anyone and any hands on time, anything real world or am I best to keep some cash and go last gen, I might go from the base 128gb to 256, but as my mini is only 64 I think I’ll be fine with the 128gb model…

You will not notice a difference, it's like would you notice driving between a Ferarri or a Lambo in terms of speed day to day. No you wouldn't, especially when not used side by side. I would use that £200 towards the magic keyboard which is much more useful.

You might be able to tell if you put them on a track or a drag race, aka benchmark them. But day to day use, the M1/2 chips are way more powerful than its required.

Balls, Currys' are out of stock, so, back to looking at options.

The cheapest I can find the M2 Pro is £859, I cant see anywhere I'd usually buy from that's got M1 Pro's in stock and the Amazon link for the Air is saying delivery in January...
