This is so scary, I hope they never do this at my work. I would need to work from a Hell (Dell) 2-in-1. It as a horrible screen, it has a horrible operating system that isn’t suited for tablet use (windows 11) and it has horrible apps that are not made for fingers or pencil (looking at you, onenote).
Really feeling for you.

I'm retired now but we also had prohibitions against use of personal devices. Even before that edict, I had quit using my personal devices for work - we'd had incidences of personal devices accidentally being tainted with classified data (inadvertent wording in emails) that led to unpleasant consequences.

Yea it was super frustrating. I would keep my dev setup on my laptop and use my iPad for Teams/Outlook/Azure/etc. It was a really nice setup.

Well I've just joined the iPad Pro club not quite how I was expecting to

Had a few iPads in the past but never really used them that much, but the recent iPadOS 26 announcement got me interested again, hmm I can get a 11" Pro M4 256GB WiFi for £899 but maybe I'll get Cellular just in case oh £1099 (Education pricing), maybe I'll wait until the M5 one

Then I started randomly looking on eBay even though I usually wouldn't generally buy high value tech on there, ended up winning an auction for a brand new and sealed 11" Pro M4 256GB WiFi and Cellular...for £780! Couldn't believe my luck

Turned up and it was the real deal brand new and sealed...except unfourtunately the seller had accidentally sent out a WiFi only model

Rather than the hassle of sending it back for a refund or exchange the seller was very apologetic and I've now ended up with a brand new 11" Pro M4 256GB WiFi for £700 :D

I'm complete now with my M4 Mac Mini, my M4 Macbook Air and M4 iPad Pro!

£700 equals to $1500AUD, not really a bargain, Apple EDU is $1,529.
I bought one off FBM 2 weeks old for $1,000AUD or £480.
