Is it wrong to salivate over an M4 iPad Pro when I haven’t picked up my 10th generation iPad since I got an Apple Vision Pro? There’s something about watching what you can do with handwriting on the latest models in terms of being able to write down your own math equations and have the iPad solve them plus writing hand written notes and having the iPad clean them up to keep them in your hand writing style (but cleaner and more readable) that appeals to me. I really wish Apple would work with Microsoft to find a way to let you markup Office documents with the Apple Pencil. If they did that I’d be all over one. Serious question. If you have an Apple Pencil is it pretty easy to mark up PDF files or do you need a paid 3rd party app to be able to do that?

Plus my Intel 27” iMac is getting very long in the tooth these days. I’ve had my eyes on a Mac Mini and either a Samsung or Apple 27” 5K monitor as a replacement for a while now. I figured when I heard they were releasing the M3 that we’d have new M3 Mac Mini’s by now but nope. Apple is making us wait for the M4 which I’m OK with but I feel like I’ve been waiting forever for the M2 Mac Mini’s to be upgraded at this point and I can’t bring myself to buy one knowing it’ll be a couple of processor generations behind in another couple of months.
The samsung monitor is annoying as F. I have one and a mac studio monitor, thousand times better and user friendly.

Though still perfectly capable, I gifted my v.9 iPad to a co-worker.

I also gifted a 2020 IPP to another co-worker (actually, her 10-yo Son).

Neither of whom could ever find space to allocate even USD200 of non-discretionary funds into their budget.

Oh, and two less devices occupying space in my Home ;)

Really? I’m a bit surprised. I’ve heard the Apple is better from others but the question for me with the various deals out there now is that is it really that much better to justify the price difference? It sounds like you’d be in the yes category on that one.

Can you elaborate a bit? What’s so annoying about it? I’m not somebody who’s hung up on colors to the extent that somebody who deals with images professionally or as an enthusiast might be so if it’s annoying because the colors are off when looking at photos you’ve taken or videos you’ve recorded someone like me wouldn’t notice unless it’s way, way off so I’m curious if you think a user like me would notice the difference or is it annoying for other reasons? Any infor you can give would be greatly appreciated because I’ll be in the market for a good 27” 5K monitor soon. Thanks!!!
I use a Samsung Viewfinity S9 5K at work, and being the sucker that I am bought a Viewfinity S9 4K at home. (Okay to my excuse the local hardware market here is tiny).

Janky controls. Terrible USB-C functionality. Sometimes it charges devices. Sometimes it doesn't. Never delivers anywhere near the advertised power.

If you're often docking a laptop to the monitor with USB-C, and the laptop often complains about the power, then its a hugely frustrating experience.

Bose kicked off a back to school sale this week, offering up to 25% off select headphones, earbuds, speakers, and other audio devices. During this sale you can get the Bose QuietComfort Headphones for $249.00, down from $349.00.
Better deal from Newegg, but only in the White Smoke color though.

$249.00 ('https://www.newegg.com/bose-884367-0100-headphone-black/p/N82E16826627142?Item=N82E16826627142') + Newegg $60.00 Promotional Gift Card (Email Delivery) + 12% (or $29.88) off with coupon code ZIP2SCHOOL

Even if you have no use for the $60 Newegg Gift Card, it's still cheaper at $219.12 after coupon.
