Returning College Student - Need Help!
Hello Reddit,
I am a returning college student after 8 years of patience for the right time go back.
To make a long story short, my plans are to go to community college, then transfer to a 4 year university, either a Cal State or a UC. My major is going to be in the Business and Financial areas, as I work in Insurance. (Making a long term career out of it!)
My current desk is as follows - x2 LG Ultrawide Monitors; x1 Work Laptop; x1 2017 MacBook Pro 1TB Intel i7 (Ventura); x1 iPhone 16 Pro Max 512gb, and a 1 week old M5 iPad Pro 512gb.
Would like to mention I have 2TB of iCloud also.
My question, after a week of having the iPad Pro is - Is it worth keeping the iPad Pro along with my MacBook for school? Is it better to upgrade to a newer MacBook and downgrade the iPad to an Air? I would like to have some sort of iPad for travel, movies, and notes, as I really do enjoy having it along with my phone.
I would like to have at least 512GB of storage on an iPad, and at least 1TB on a MacBook. Total ideal budget is equal to, or less than $2,500.
TLDR; Returning Business Major College Student is unsure to keep old MacBook Pro and new iPad Pro, or get a newer MacBook and an iPad Air/ older Pro.
