If cost wasn't a deciding factor - would you go for a regular iPad or an iPad mini, assuming the major uses would be watching the entire Netflix catalog 24/7 and some art stuff with the Apple Pencil (for my daughter to replace an iPad mini 2)
I assum the size of the standard iPad wins in both situations and the slower CPU should still be plenty?
iPad is nice for being bigger, mini is nice for being smaller (portability, feel in hand)...it'll really depend on her as far as art usage though. Bigger has more space for stuff on screen (tools and whatnot, besides drawing area itself), but smaller is nice cause it feels more like a small sketch pad...if she's into that size.
Two generation newer chip will be nice down the line longevity wise, and besides general speed I think has some other features like (more?) accelerated ML hardware or whatever stuff like that. Might have little niceties over the older chip in terms of software features (like AR stuff for example) here and there.
Oh WTF none of my Google Authenticator accounts made it over to my new phone during the transfer. Thankfully I hadn't erased my old phone just yet but holy shit what an annoying problem.
Do I have to manually reenter all of them now?
I thought someone mentioned you could transfer them, maybe on the site somewhere?
what kind of data and how often is it updated? Eg if it's mostly slowly growing archived data then you don't need so much spare space to grow into.
tbh I've moved pretty much entirely to cloud storage but do have a NAS for local backups - but only documents/data - don't bother imaging machines etc anymore
Still need to do cloud backups, but similar in the sense of more limited backups (and NAS) these days. I do occasional imaging but limited and less often, enough to get a system going again quickly, and docs/data more thorough, so I can drop that in once the basic system is restored and running.
