When I finally pull the trigger, a new 13" iPad Pro w/ 16GB RAM, keyboard & stylus is gonna cost me €3,107. It would be by far the most powerful computer I own.

That's more than twice as much as what I paid for the Mac mini I do *all my development on*. It even beats out my high-end gaming PC whose GPU alone was €1800.

All of that goes to waste because it’s paired with a simplified, stripped-down OS using the same technology stack and limitations as a $300 Netflix device for your grandparents

I bit the bullet and ordered base model 13”. I’ve been using my old 12.9” 2020 model for hours every single day for the past four years. It is my main video content consumption device.

But it’s crazy that prices are now MacBook Pro level. This value proposition just doesn’t make sense to me.
