Which one do you find yourself using more?
I use my MacStudio and iPad Mini mostly. The MBA is getting older (2018) so if I want to be effective I take the steps to the Studio usually.
If I have some writing and contemplation or thinking added to it, that I can do in a relaxed manner, I pick my MBA. I hope Apple comes out with a cheaper 10-11" MacBook, it would serve as a perfect device in between for me.

Having gone through various models of iPads, the one that I've enjoyed using the most is the Mini 6. It's certainly not perfect; the display could be brighter and the jelly scroll is not ideal, but I bought it mainly for reading and content consumption and it absolutely excels at that. My Mac Studio, Mini 6 and iPhone 15 Pro are the perfect combination for me.

I upgraded my first-gen 12.9” iPad Pro last year to a 12.9 M2 version, and I’ve been totally blown away by how nice it is. I’m an iPad-only person and use it as a desktop attached to my monitor with a Bluetooth keyboard and trackpad, as a laptop in the Magic Keyboard, and as a tablet by itself. However one thing I didn’t anticipate when I got this model was the fact that, with external monitor support, I don’t really need the full size of the 12.9” display like I did before. Almost all of my work happens at my desk with my external display, and when I’m using it in tablet mode, I think I’d prefer a lighter and more compact device.

So when the new models release, I’ll be trading mine in for either a new 11” or a 11” M2 model from last year, depending on how the new versions look. However I would really like the same display quality that the M2 12.9” has, so if the new 11” versions have that, I’d be heavily leaning that way, I think. I’m also intrigued by the rumors of the new Magic Keyboard design.

I’d be happy with the old 12” Macbook form factor with the updated chips. I think that was just a little over 2 lbs. perfect size.
