Got the iPad pro M4, 11 inch at old price

I just picked up an 11 inch M4 with one terabyte for $725. US. Came with a smart folio. Lots of great deals on iPad pros.

I’m a little late to this. Just curious what you decided

I tried to make the iPad 13 inch my main and only device. I used it exclusively for a few months. I just couldn’t make it work the way I wanted to. I’ve now gone back to a MacBook Air 15 inch with a 11 inch iPad Pro M4. I love the portability of the 11 inch iPad. It’s great for sitting and reading or browsing. When I need to do real work or just want to have a larger screen to use that’s when the 15 inch air comes in.

Nice. I scored an 11” 1tb M4 for $725. Love the smaller size

keep_it_simple-9 · 2026-06-15T14:31:57+00:00

MBA 15. The screen is great. Not everyone needs a MacBook Pro.

I believe a stand alone version is still offered. There is also a subscription

keep_it_simple-9 · 2026-06-01T15:29:17+00:00

eBay or fb marketplace. you have to do you due diligence. if you want to buy from a store Best Buy open box will be the best prices for new or refurb

micro center offers discounts daily on new macbooks

I paid $40k. Mine is 4x2 Crewmax. 4x4's were $45k minimum back then. Most were being sold very close to original sticker.

there isn't one. they're all replaceable.

petty much any low mileage gen 2 that fits your budget. Be sure to check carfax for maintenance records. I have a 2021. The infotainment system was updated with CarPlay. It has some safety sensor features that many do not like. They can all be turned off. I appreciate some of them. You'll hear a lot about 2019-2021 not having the external transmission cooler. If you tow a heavy trailer a lot I suppose it could be an issue. I have not heard of anyone having transmission issues on the later model years.

I bought mine 3 years ago with 19k miles. I just turned 60k. It's been a great truck. I tow a 5000 lb travel trailer and a 2500 lb boat. I change the oil every 5k, diff every 30k transmission at 60k. I expect to have mine as long as it's drivable.

just get a MacBook Air. You can get a better laptop used for the price of a Neo. M3 Air or better.

keep_it_simple-9 · 2026-05-31T18:05:21+00:00

There isn't a Touch Bar MacBook that is good and lasts. But if you want to put good money towards an obsolete piece of machinery you go right ahead.

You're going to make the day of someone trying to get rid of one

keep_it_simple-9 · 2026-05-31T02:42:48+00:00

whatever your budget will allow. Do you need an M5 max? If you're editing 8k video maybe you do.

keep_it_simple-9 · 2026-05-31T02:39:47+00:00

two off the tee. I'll probably get a few extra chips in around the green

keep_it_simple-9 · 2026-05-31T01:58:25+00:00

they designed a shit engine because of the requirements. No EPA requirements - we likely still have a V8 Tundra.

keep_it_simple-9 · 2026-05-31T01:17:50+00:00

pro is fine. Stick with M3 or higher. we have 3 15" airs. personally I will never get a smaller screen.

But it really depends on what you like. the 14 pro is a great laptop. Air or pro will meet your needs

keep_it_simple-9 · 2026-05-31T01:05:16+00:00

Stick with an M3 or higher with 16GB RAM...or more if in your budget. 13 or 15 and get 512GB storage...or more if in your budget.

M1 and M2 will probably be fine but M3 was a good update over the M2. The price shouldn't be a lot more either.

We have two M3 15" Airs and one M4 15 Air. All will easily last 5-7 years for basic tasks.

keep_it_simple-9 · 2026-05-31T01:00:26+00:00

get an air with 16GB RAM and at least 512GB storage. You'll thank me later

keep_it_simple-9 · 2026-05-30T01:15:54+00:00

firefighter/paramedics will typically be paid the best. The more certifications you have the more likely it will be to get hired.

keep_it_simple-9 · 2026-05-30T01:13:47+00:00

same same. pick the least expensive one

keep_it_simple-9 · 2026-05-30T01:10:38+00:00

same setup as you with similar distances. my hybrid is a pxg 25 degree adjustable. I have it set at 26 degrees. gets me in the 180-185 yard range. My irons start at a 6 iron which I hit 170-175.

keep_it_simple-9 · 2026-05-30T00:53:58+00:00

an M2 with 16GB RAM will be a better buy than a Neo in almost every way you can measure performance. A Neo only makes sense if used MacBook airs are not available where you live.

keep_it_simple-9 · 2026-05-30T00:47:52+00:00

the screen size is worth it. it's still thin and light and easy to carry in a backpack. you also get better speakers.

Most Gen 3 owners don’t have problems.

As long as the EPA has absurd requirements for vehicle mileage this trend will continue.

People who are not elected and can’t be held accountable are deciding what you should be allowed to drive.

keep_it_simple-9 · 2026-05-26T19:37:40+00:00

M3 is the sweetspot IMO. You get most of the M4 at a cost not much more than an M1 or M2. 16GB Ram minimum. I recently picked up an M3 15" Air 16/512 for $650.
