@stux They really do still seem like overgrown iPhones to me. I can't imagine what anyone would do with an M4 chip. Maybe really heavy gaming or video editing? It's certainly a really weird choice for the debut of their new chip.

@simon They really are!

The only plus side i found was drawing but for that it's an expensive notebook

@stux That's true. I know there are standalone drawing tablets and I don't really know how they compare. Maybe if that's what you want, it's a good bargain.
The mini is nice as a media device. The battery is huge and if your hands are big you can hold it like a phone. But I don't need a Mac chip on my iPad.

In my life I have had 2 iPads and i sold them both again within a year :nkoFacepalm2:

I have learned now, never again 😇 it's just kinda useless when you have a Mac

@stux there are specific uses, artwork, reading in bed, etc.,.

The pencil is really good.

@stux the best use of the ipads I owned where when the kids where small: perfect sesamstraat watching machines. No need for an M4 chip there.

@koen Haha i bet indeed!

Drawing was also nice but im not gonna keep it for that alone :flan_laugh:

@stux since ultra wide-screen monitors I make do with the screen of a phone or with 49 or 57 inch ultra wide. Nothing in between seems nice enough.
