Older iPad Pro, or Newer iPad Air? @adamtalkstech

Older iPad Pro, or Newer iPad Air? Older iPad Pros had a genuinely great screen and speakers, so it makes sense those still hold up well. If I'm choosing today, it really comes down to one question, do you care about the better screen the Pro has over the Air? I use my Air outside a lot and the brightness is noticeably more limited in harsh sunlight, the Pro just handles that way better. But the Air still gets the job done for almost everything else, you're not missing performance, just a bit of polish.

Air or Pro, where do you land?

$This Mac mini upgrade costs more than the whole computer Theres an upgrade on the new Mac mini that costs more than the machine itself. The base M6 mini is $900 with 256GB. Take it to 2TB and thats a $1,000 upgrade, so youre paying more for the drive than for the computer the drive lives in. Apple has always charged a premium on storage, but this is the first time the upgrade quietly became the more expensive half of the purchase. My advice: put the money in RAM instead, because RAM is soldered to the chip and you can never add it later. Storage you can add over Thunderbolt for a fraction of the Apple tax. And honestly, 256GB base in 2026 is criminal. RAM or storage, where does your upgrade money go? #MacMini #M6 #MacTips$
