The launch of the 2022 iPad Pro in 12.9- and 11-inch versions means current tablet users have new upgrade options. Their M2 processor makes these the most powerful iPads ever made, but they are not right for everyone.

I’ve used an M2-powered iPad Pro for a week now, and that’s given me insight into who should upgrade and who should not. Some people should definitely go for the latest and greatest, but others would be disappointed if they did so.

Here’s my advice when making your decision.

Save $200 on 12.9-inch iPad Pro with M1 inside

Apple’s M2 iPad Pro lineup does not pack significant upgrades over the 2021 models. If you don’t need the extra power, you can get the M1 12.9-inch iPad Pro for $200 off on Amazon.

The entry-level variant of the 12.9-inch iPad Pro for $899, down from $1,099. You can use the money saved towards additional accessories or upgrade to a higher storage variant.

You can now save a bundle on the latest 12.9-inch iPad Pro. This tablet is powerful enough to be a notebook alternative, and now it’s available for $100 below the usual cost.

There are also a nice deal on the 11-inch iPad Pro, iPad Air and other Apple tablets.

4 screens, an ‘OG’ HomePod and a Lego Porsche 911 [Setups]

It’s Christmas Eve, and all we want for the holiday is a Porsche 911. It could be a gleaming new one, with a base price of a mere $99,200. It could be super-cool vintage one. Or it could even be a Lego one like the one featured in today’s MacBook Pro and iPad Pro-driven setup.

OK, given our paltry income, who are we kidding — we’d even take a die-cast 911, like the Matchbox cars of our youth.

Apple still hasn’t caught up with demand for 2021 iPad Pro

There’s more 2021 iPad Pro RAM than in any previous Apple tablet.

Those eager to get the 12.9-inch version of the 2021 iPad Pro still face a week+ wait when ordering from Apple. But the situation has improved — not too long ago, the wait stretched for a month or more.

As recently as June, customers had to wait four to six weeks to get this tablet shipped from Apple.com. And in May, the wait time was about two months.

Redditor N3oPuff drew some attention on the social media platform with a setup photo that flaunts mind-blowing gear not so much as it does natural beauty. It definitely brings to mind the old real estate maxim: “location, location, location.” But an M1 Mac mini always helps.

In fact, it could be the perfect Setup for a summer Friday.
