Should I get an iPad? On the fence. My MacBook isn’t working and I don’t want to invest in a personal laptop since I never use it much anyway. Any reason why it’s not a good investment ?

I got an iPad Pro and love it. 1) I use it as an entertainment device when on the road and 2) replaced my MacBook usage by A LOT. If you have an iPhone I highly recommend it. Pair with the Smart Keyboard

^ amen. Running iOS 13 beta and new multitasking capabilities are great

Additionally, ipadOS 13, expected to be released in September, brings more multitasking, a desktop version of Safari that doesn’t use the mobile version of websites by default, etc. I’m testing the beta version on my iPad Pro and it’s shaping up well.

If you don’t really need a full laptop, an iPad is probably a good option.

The fact that it’s $400. It’s literally a jumbo iPhone. You can get a chromebook for half the price

Love my iPad. Use it for 90% of my computing and grab the laptop only when needed.

Yep I always grab my iPad when I’m home, rarely touch my MacBook so if it stopped working I wouldn’t replace it

For the most part, I remember what my natural hair looks like, and I'm thinking I will fall in one of those categories.

If you’re frustrated about 💰 and career, maybe from FAANG/MBB/PE TC posts, just remember that 99% of life is still pretty much the same for everyone. You eat at the same restaurants, poop on the same toilets, live in similar neighborhoods, wear the same Patagonias, fly in the same metal cans ✈️, and maybe even drive similar cars whether your TC is 100k, 200k or 400k. There’s no use in earning tons more money than you actually need, and the “rich” life is still far away for those earning $1M
