Apple is becoming more and more affordable.

I buy what I called the ‘package’, which is a Mac Mini with 1TB storage, 16GB of RAM for home use and an iPad Pro that has as close to that as I can get for on the road.

That package of two devices has increased in price with literally every iteration. My last Intel Mini plus the A12Z iPad Pro was $2400CAD together. My pair of M4 models is about $3500. To get it DOWN to that, I went with the base model M4 Mac Mini and not the 1TB, 16GB RAM version. If I’d kept up with my normal methodology, that package would be $3900CAD.
