12.9-inch iPad Pro powered by M1, 8 GB RAM, 256 GB, with keyboard: $1498.
13-inch MacBook Air powered by M1, 8 GB RAM, 256 GB, with keyboard: $999.
Are we being pranked? Apple’s products seem optimized for profit much more than when the original iPad was introduced for $499.
@manton How much value do you put on the best tablet in the world? The MacBook Air can never be that.
Don’t get me wrong, I wish more than ever that certain production software was equally available on the iPad but this thing is do damned good that I’m ok with either waiting for that software or just having another computer hanging around whenever I have to use that software.
(Qualifying note: I have never owned a Mac and only barely used one very recently — an M1 at that; those things are ridiculous.)
