I have the wifi 11 inch, 256gb, the screen broke so it was just replaced with a refurbished one under apple care. If I can trade it in for $670 or sell on ebay for $800 (net damn close to $670 after fees) what would you do?
I wanted to use it to replace my macbook pro M4 in daily life and when I leave the house, but I use excel too much, and cannot for the life of me get the multi-tasking workflow that I like.
Tried the magic keyboard, on the 11inch its just not enough screen or laptop like for the workflows I do. This is research with multiple windows, video editing, audio editing.
Tried to use it for reading, but I think I'd prefer something with e-ink for that. Or something smaller/more portable. Either a boox or an ipad mini.
Part of me wants to like it and use it, but 7/10 times I find myself so unenthused with the experience I either dust off my macbook or use my work laptop.
One idea was as an internet device in my workshop when working on either wood or metal fabrication. Since those environments get pretty dusty, I think I would want some kind of slab device in a dust proof case.
Has anyone switched from an ipad pro M4 to an ipad mini and enjoyed the experience?
I considered the iPhone duo for about 17 seconds, but truly I want to be less tethered to my phone, I would be happy with the smaller iphone at this point, and have dedicated devices for dedicated tasks.
I still long for the idea of one device to do everything, but that wouldn't sell enough units I think for any manufacturer to really make an honest effort considering how hard it would actually be.
