It's fine to use such hardware as long as one is fully aware of the pitfalls & limitations. It's still reasonably viable thx to the quad core CPU and the dGPU can be reigned in to some extents with software. The 2011 15" MBP although DOA when I got it back now runs good as it ever has, equally very much a time bomb thx to the Radeon dGPU.

It would now need a full overhaul, battery and new fans (3rd set). Still runs (last checked), however battery long since died & expanded. mainly because Apple's solution still seems to be "buy both," and that's not really a solution for most of us.Still a good run for the money, I've a pre-unibody 08 kicking around somewhere. Macs and iPads are growing closer than ever, but the decision on which one to get remains difficult. As good as iPads are, they're still standing further on the periphery.

But then again, with new iPads expected just a few months from now and recent Prime Day sales not offering deep discounts, maybe it's best to just wait and see.īut it's all pretty annoying to me, because Apple's made it extremely easy on the Mac front to get a pretty great computer.

If you're trying to figure out which is the safest iPad to get right now, I'd say the Air: The M1 chip should keep it ready for future OS updates, and it's got a lot of performance boosts over the entry iPad (which will probably get an update in the fall, too). So far, on existing M1 iPads, performance seems good enough (except for some crashes, though it's hard to tell if that's just from early beta software). Although iPadOS 16 does make strides in how many app windows can be open at once, there's a cap.
Don't expect it to make a huge impact in how you use an iPad, though: Apple still limits iPadOS's flexibility.

In my time with the public beta so far, it still isn't enough to make me live without a PC or Mac.Īpple is expected to have a new iPad Pro in the fall, one that'll possibly have the M2 chip that's also in the newest MacBook Pro and Air.
In 2022, iPads will gain more multitasking - if you buy an iPad with an M1 chip. Apple keeps creeping forward on this front, a small change or so every year. What I'd still really love, and keep waiting for, is some sort of iPad that can run MacOS, or something effectively equivalent.

I'm really leaning towards buying an M2 MacBook Air as an overdue personal laptop upgrade for myself, mainly because I know that iPads still can't do all the things I need for work and personal data management. At the lower end, with entry-level iPads, they lack some of the future-forward chips (and USB-C) that could make a bigger difference a couple of years down the line. IPads get too expensive at the top end, turning into laptop-priced devices despite not being entirely laptop-useful for all needs.
It also has unique features that Apple's Macs lack: the Pencil for art and handwriting, Face ID for the Pro models, better cameras with lidar that can be used for select AR and 3D scanning purposes, and a ton of unique apps and games that aren't all available or optimized for Macs. Keyboard and trackpad/mouse support, a revamped multitasking system in iPadOS 16, and finally, support for an external monitor that now works like an extension of your iPad workspace. Meanwhile, the iPad has increasingly laptop-like features, especially the Air and Pro models. The MacBook remains highly functional and improved in areas like battery life and processing speed, but it still takes an old-fashioned laptop form without a touchscreen. I was speaking with a colleague who was debating whether to buy a MacBook Air or an iPad-plus-keyboard, and the answer isn't any clearer than it was a year ago. But now, with a revamped mainstream laptop and an ever-more Mac-like iPad OS, the lines between these products seem like they're blurring a bit more. My colleague Daniel Van Boom wondered about these questions when new 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pros were released last fall. This seems like a good time to buy one, except for one big question mark: What about the iPad? The Mac line, which once looked like it was slipping into irrelevance, feels stronger than ever. With the latest M2-equipped, redesigned MacBook Air, Apple looks like it's delivered a completely useful and highly functional laptop.
