I have an M1 Air and was considering upgrading.
It’s worth £380 on MM and the 24GB 13” M4 would cost £1099 with student discount.
The equivalent Mac Mini would be £699 so I could keep my M1 Air and get a new Mac Mini for the same as it would cost me to upgrade…
It’s almost worthwhile to get a Mac Mini at my desk too!
I feel like this is the way to go!
Not sure I can entirely justify the £700 right now but I really want to!
I spent too much on my iPad Pro last year though 
Seeing as I definitely don’t need to upgrade my M2 MBA that’s why I’ve bought an iPad mini instead I’ll buy a new Mac mini at Christmas I think and keep hold of my MBA instead of selling it
Went to the store to check out which MacBook Air colour to get. I had to actually ask one of the staff if the model I was looking at was the sky blue one.
To my eyes it was just silver, with a hint of blue if the light hit it just right.
Was about to order it tonight but then saw a deal for a refurb M3 Air with 16GB of RAM for £725 and went for that instead.
For a computer I don’t even need, it felt like the right price.
@Nicbrown cheers for the heads up on MM. They’re offering decent money for my M1 Air and Mini.
Doesn’t look like my iPad is coming today despite picking next day delivery, DPD haven’t even collected it according to the tracking.
This is why I usually just go out and buy expensive stuff nowadays.
Sorry to say. But you’ll hate it
It’s just a big iPhone sans phone
Bold of you to assume I haven’t had one before or used one in the Apple Store before deciding to buy one 
I had a play with one the other day and just couldn’t think of a use for it. A small iPad with the larger iPad’s faults exaggerated.
I had one - had done the same.
Found the switching from my high-refresh mobile to that was jarring as hell. The sole reason I returned it when I did in December last year… I couldn’t get on with it & everything just seemed hugely stuttery in comparison.
My response was based on my own experience! You may not care, in which case it’s an amazing device, great size and everything.
Yeah I don’t care about that for what I’m using it for lol
That’s fair - what you buying it to use it for? 
I was using it for note taking, and it was annoying! 
Mainly for reading ebooks, I know my Kindle is “better” for that but I genuinely prefer iPhone/iPad screens and it doesn’t bother me or make my eyes ache etc
Also just to browse the web on, watch YouTube etc while on the sofa and in bed and the smaller size is nice to take away on holiday.
I like 120hz on my iPhone 16 Pro but it doesn’t bother me going back to 60hz, I use 60hz screens all day at work 
I love my iPad mini, had one since the 3 in 2014. I don’t find going back to it after my iPhone 15 Pro jarring at all, barely even notice the jelly scrolling any more either. If they did one with face ID and ProMotion though it would be even better. Can’t believe how many people I see online still prefer Touch ID over Face ID.
Not to question your preferences, I just personally find that 60Hz isn’t an issue on work displays as office work just doesn’t require low latency refreshing.
Touch screens are where it makes much more difference.
Doing CAD drawings all day probably could benefit from 120hz, and all my down time is browsing here and Reddit
The new M4 MacBook Air is discounted to £930 on Amazon right now!
Just tired to buy AC+ for my iPad mini and it says Apple is doing scheduled maintenance so can’t do it yet. Never seen that before!
Servers get tired too!
