iPad Air with magic keyboard, and/or Macbook M1?

[Jacklikesforums]

the title explains itself, which one should I buy?

Can you elaborate? An iMac and an iPad are VERY different devices

I meant a macbook

The MacBook Air is probably more useful overall, but it ultimately depends on what you use them for.

Just go for the MacBook (Air), unless there's a very specific reason why you want an iPad.

With the exception of Apple Pencil-specific needs, you will almost always be better off with a MacBook.

This question has been beaten to death on these forums . . . . so you may want to check the archives and buckle-up for a long but good read! Seems Apple has given us two separate but overlapping devices, especially with the iPad use of the Magic Keyboard. As you’ll see in previous posts, much of which device is best for you personally is how use mostly use it. For sure it’s a dilemma - - some here solve it by having both! Welcome and good luck (seeking information is a great first step BTW).
