I work a full time job but do dabble in some freelancing on the side. Not enough to warrant high end stuff, but I noticed my M1 Air was struggling a little and ended up being given a Mac Mini M4 for Christmas. This is great as I was docking the Air and it was cumbersome.

I use Adobe CC.

I’m contemplating trading my M1 Air (base, 8GB) for an M3 as it has 16GB RAM but unsure due to the potential M4 coming out.

Same with the iPad, my Pro I hardly use due to it being unwieldy, either it’s docked to the Magic Keyboard and then it’s like a laptop or it’s on my desk for drawing. Never use it as a ‘tablet’. Like the idea of the smaller one with the pencil but worried about the lack of ProMotion.

Alternatively I get a new Pro but means I need to replace the keyboard. Plus the M5 will be out March?

What would you do in my shoes?

I’m just trying to work out what to do before the value of both my older iPad and Mac drop more.
