I’ve found myself picking up my iPad and not using the mac at all except for rare scenarios.

Should I hang onto it for the rare case I need it? Or offload it and recoup some value while it still has it?

    Keep the m1 MacBook Air. I switched from an iPad and yes the iPad is a bit more convenient but the MacBook has everything.

    If your iPad were lost or damaged, what would you do? You can run out and buy another device or use the MacBook that you already own.

    every time i sell a computer i end up regretting it. If you need money go for it, but it is always good to have a computer of some sort.

    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.

      In my personal life not at all. I’ll still have an iMac for work but for personal stuff the mba just collects dust.

      I literally turned it on for the first time in 4 months yesterday to print an amazon return label.

      The beautiful irony in that is that what I was returning was a printer which was damaged in transit that I bought because it has airprint so I can print off the iPad.

    If it were me, I’d keep the MacBook. I like having a full OS over a tablet. But if you don’t think you need it, sell it.

    That’s something only you can truly answer . If you need money sure. I wouldn’t otherwise and I’d definitely keep the REAL OS over a portable IS all day long but it depends on what you’re going to need it to do once the other one is sold and gone.
