Good decision. If i have the budget, MBA M2 15 for work and iPad Pro for media consumption.

Too bad, the new space black is only available with M3 Pro and up. M3 if you have the capital.

Unfortunately, if you want to watch HDR contents, you need MacBook Pro. I would rather grab a iPad Pro with AirPod Pro or Max. For example, Netflix don’t offer MacOS app and I could not download contents for flights. Where I could download contents to my iPad Netflix App.

Do you use any MS Office apps? iOS version just aren’t as good as MacOS version. If you can get some value out of selling your M1, sell it and save the cash for the future MacBook purchase. I do have both MBA and iPad for different reasons.

Run Speedometer 2.0. Safari seems faster than other browsers on my MBA

I want to know how this gets resolved. OP please update how it went. Thanks

I think square shape is a bit better for interactive apps like calculator and message apps if you like typing on the watch face. Regardless of shapes, Apple Watch for me.

Since this is only reply with recommended apps.

Clipy - simple app that makes copy pasting efficient
