I’d prefer to keep it in the Apple ecosystem (have never owned anything Android) but I’ll probably still look into something just in case.
Honestly as another commenter suggested, I may look into refurbs. Even a gen 3 12.9 pro still has most of the bells and whistles I’d want and I can find them for 500-600 usd or so; I’m just hesitant about used tech. I’m coming from an Air 2 that’s approaching 9 years old so literally anything would be an insane step up.
A person with the discernment of appreciating music and aesthetics definitely wants an Apple-designed OS not google’s full-on trash software. Trust me. Same with Apple vs Windows. Google and Microsoft software are a mess. Apple isn’t perfect but much better in many aspects.

Used Apple tech has been the most reliable in my experience. I’ve done plenty of trades on both HWS and r/appleswap
Don’t listen to the Android people.
