Hi,

I am looking for advice and recommendations based on a transition from ConfigA to ConfigB.

Current ConfigA:
iMac 27" late 2013
iPad Pro 12.9" late 2018
Wireless keyboard and trackpad
External HDD(s)

Planned ConfigB:
MacBook Pro/Air M1 13.3”
External Display with at least 27”
Docking station with ample I/O ports to connect peripherals
Wireless keyboard and trackpad
External HDD(s)

I have been waiting for the possibility of a 27” new design M1 iMac.
Then I figured what if I could just replace both my iMac and iPad Pro with a MacBook Pro/Air and external display.
It seems like a workable substitute but looking for feedback from the more experienced.
Am I missing something?
Thoughts on whether MacBook Pro or Air?
Anyone been through something like this and lessons learnt?
Other configurations?
I am aware it will cost much more rather than just replacing an iMac.

Thank you.
