I’m torn on the MacBook Air. If I wait for Apple’s BF sale, I could trade in my M2 iPad Air to bring down the cost, and use the gift card toward the AirPods Pro 3 (and maybe get a gift card from that?). Amazon offering $750 is enticing, but I’d still be left with an iPad that I will no longer need — and I don’t want to deal with selling it. I’d like to see Apple’s BF ad to do the math.
