Seems the new IPad isn’t worth updating unless you have an older model before it went to 11” screen. Not much of an update on last years. Same with Apple TV at a push maybe worth buying the remote?
If you have a 2018 or newer iPad Pro you probably would not need to upgrade and I would not have expected to. These are high performance and expensive devices that will last several years of use. A typical user would only upgrade after 2-3 model cycles.

Curious, what OS? I thought Windows 10 didn't support Sandy Bridge and older.

windows 10 just fine for my uses, enlighten me if I am missing something here. I never used the built in intel graphics. Maybe that has something to do with it for driver support. As built my setup came with an AMD graphics card.. for my needs, windows 10 works better than the original OS that came with my pc... and that was windows 7... and I had a core2duo sitting around that also ran windows 10

Although perhaps the list is more due to lack of integrated graphics drivers rather than the CPU itself.

It has to be as my i7-860 is running windows 10 better than it ran windows 7 from day 1. I don't do anything really productive on it other than surf the net or banking or taxes or playing music with my audioengine setup. No gaming. My series X is for that. Not to keep this off topic, just saying a yearly ipad upgrade is overkill unless you have unlimited funds. lol

with that said, I am anxiously waiting my 2021 pro lol maybe then I'll be convinced to upgrade my desktop.

It is quite a good update, but it still does the same thing as iPad 2018

I don't have unlimited funds but no kids so expenses are relatively low. Tech is my hobby so I've sometimes upgraded yearly when I find the upgrades to be worth the cost for my usage. I pretty much wear my clothes and shoes until they get ratty but I enjoy having new tech toys to play with. :D

Lol, not anxiously but I'm certainly very much looking forward to it.

They upgraded the engine to a Lamborghini Quatrovalvole. Unfortunately, it’s built on a Toyota Tercel chassis.
