To replace a computer I would definitely suggest the Air. Note that though handwriting seems awesome at first glance sometimes you need the consistency (in output) of typing.

Don’t forget that in real use the Mini tends to have slightly worse battery life as well

I believe you may want to focus more on school than casual use, pushing the balance towards the Air

Yup there’s one on lemmy.world, and it allows pictures!

Absolutely amazing, detailed answer. Thank you so much for this enlightening answer!

I did not know this despite using Fedora as my main OS on my desktop. Thank you so much for sharing!

I agree that the price seems ridiculous. Maybe a 1000 dollar upcharge may make sense but 3000?

At 28:47 in this interview with Apple execs, https://youtu.be/DgLrBSQ6x7E it seems they argue it’s for PCIE expansion, where in audio production or networking potential buyers already have very expensive cards they would like to continue using

Same! I use all 3, and Mac is my primary platform, I have a more powerful x86-based Fedora computer I use for gaming, and as a Visual Studio Code remote SSH machine and I have to sometimes boot into Windows for incompatible software/games.

Agree that Windows is the worst, and that Apple seems to be having macOS die by a thousand cuts (experienced many bugs, but they do tend to be fixed quickly with or without me reporting them, bigger issue is them removing options that were available via plists).

Fedora, however, seems to have a bright future, but there are still too many bugs/inconsistencies for me to use it on a daily basis.

Strongly agree with this observation!

Concerned regarding the state of apps in iOS, probably will have to mourn the loss of Apollo (which was absolutely amazing). I had an amazing iPhone and iPad app I could run on Mac as well.
