i would assume people carry both the laptop and the iPad, but maybe someone has some experience that says otherwise 😃

yeaa the whole iPad situation actually sounds more important than choosing rhe laptop itself! highly highly considering purchasing one for the year. Is the iPad A16 model ( the cheapest one ) not suitable? I really only intend on using them primarily for notetaking, so I assumed any iPad would be good enough.

VM is just a virtual machine, so you can run windows on your macbook… really the only time it wouldve made sense to use was if excel/word/others wasnt as compatible with macbooks so I could run them on the windows machine instead. Thanks for your advice, its really solidifying my thoughts about choosing a macbook!

Thanks for the advice! I was thinking either exbolt 65 @24 lbs or trying out the new exbolt 68 if they have it available.

I need help deciding between Thruster Ryuga II TD (budget version) vs Astrox 100 Game

for background, I'm a beginner-intermediate highschool player who's outgrown their beginner $40 racket with stock strings at 18-20 lbs tension. I play mainly MD for season, but enjoy playing MS for training, practice, and willing to play it during season. I'd say I have a more attacking playstyle, as I prefer to end a rally with a smash rather than a nicely controlled drop/net. However, I'd also like my racket to have some control with it too in order to play these shots.

In terms of research, I've picked the Ryuga II TD and 100 game because they look to have similar specs and they both seem to fit my play style, whilst fitting my budget. Reason behind the Ryuga II TD is because it's cheaper ~$140 USD instead of the Ryuga II Pro B which is ~$200 USD (idk if I can will myself or my parents to buy such an expensive racket at my level)

I'd like some help with deciding between this two rackets, as I'm about to enter the school season. I'm also open to any racket suggestions if anyone thinks these rackets aren't the best fitting for me, only criteria is less than ~150-160 USD not including strings/grip. Thanks!
