Honestly the reason I own and use an old iPad, it was practically the only tablet that could do what I wanted. I used a Mac mini for the better part of five years before I switched to Windows and finally Linux! (It's ok if Linux isn't for you)
I get the appeal, their hardware is very nice and I still wish other manufacturers matched the tolerances Apple sets for their hardware. I just can't buy from a company behaving like that. Also good man using your hardware for as long as reasonably possible! 😁 We only have one earth after all.
