Switched from M4 13 to iPad Mini 7th Gen
I’ve gone from one extreme to the other. The M4 was great when it was on the stand on my desk, or even when travelling on a plane (although it didn’t leave much room for anything else on the tray), but outside of that I found I wasn’t really using my iPad at all. The size would put me off from using it on the sofa, in bed, etc.
I’d read a lot about the Mini but never owned one. I was worried it’d be too small, especially coming from the biggest iPad, but straight away I fell in love with the size of it - and I love it even more now having spent a few days using it. It’s barely left my side since. Sure, I miss the OLED screen and 120hz would be lovely, but at least I’m now actually using my iPad a lot more.
Got a great deal on it too - £280/$373 for as new condition, only one previous cycle charge. Sold my M4 for £680/$90, so exactly a £400/$533 difference between the two. Give me the Mini and £400 in my pocket any day of the week.
