All things : New iPad and iPad Pro released

The new macOS font got me like

I can't wait to see the real-world use of the Air and Pro. The fan honestly should make a pretty big difference in SOME instances, and all those are pretty pro (aside from gaming). So I'm interested. MORE interested in the other pros and iMac. The reporting so far on performance have been SUPER promising.

On Big Sur, I REALLY love it. I've been waiting for a universal version of Messages, and it really delivers. As for the design, I think it's beautiful and fits in perfectly with iOS (which makes sense considering how influential it has been).

Overall, good times. Anyone buy the mini? I feel once I use it, I'm really going to want one. My next Apple purchase, however, will probably be the new iPad Pro with the mini-LED screen in the spring/summer.

I’m skipping because its RAM is not upgradable

I'm a bit busy at work today, but am reading some of the M1 Mac reviews and they are INSANE. The performance and battery life is unreal. I am BLOWN away. I might buy one in two years with the M3X and a brand new design.

One quote: "Basically, the $5000 iMac Pro I bought three years ago has been humbled by a $999 MacBook Air and a $699 Mac mini. This is real life. This is where we are now."

I hear the 2022 14-inch MBP calling my name.

Yeah, it was cute, I guess. I didn't love it - much preferred the Kacey special last year, but it was a fun watch for sure. Mariah is something else, truly. It was interesting to hear her sorta struggle, I thought, to some songs.

Shocked they dropped them this way. It's not like they didn't have ten minutes to mention them in any of their press conferences, just really strange to me.

Anyway, I love Apple and accept their prices but this one made me  tbh

To me it was that she picked a spot to the upper right of the camera and kept staring at it like a ghost was haunting her.  It seemed weirdly self aware with her making the "elusive" joke, the Snoop Santa appearance was so stupid in a great way, her acting was weird and the greenscreen  never quite worked.  I didn't really notice the singing one way or another, for me it was just how fully ridiculous the whole thing was and I found it delightful
