Purchased a MacBook Air 2024 model with m3 chip from Argos for £830 3 easy payments

Really liking it as an alternative to my IPad Air 13-inch which cost the same price, excellent battery life for when the iPad Air is charging. Nice proper keyboard for a change. Good solid buy as a laptop. Last time I had 2 iPads, this time I choose one iPad and one MacBook Air for the same price.

Why did you need 2 iPads?

Why did you need 2 iPads?

I had 2 iPad Pro’s customer returns from John Lewis back in the day and would charge one use the other. I am enjoying not having 2 iPads this time and pretty much all of the time use one iPad apart from when it needs charging I use the MacBook Air and finding I rarely need to charge the MacBook Air.

I've never felt the need to have 2 devices so that I could use one while charging the other...... except for an extra battery for my cordless lawnmower. I charge my devices when not in use, even if the charge is 30-40%.

My devices are pretty much always in use, and we never charge overnight.

There's no issue with charging modern devices overnight. Charging automatically stops when battery is fully charged. All my daily use devices are charged overnight. Been doing so for several years.

Even Apple says it's safe to charge the iPad overnight.

Didn’t realise this now!

I must admit there was another reason I bought the MacBook and this was because I didn’t realise iPads had pages on them! 😀
