My experience with iPad is much better with media consumption and surfing. Apps on the iPad are much better optimized (cause they can cache a lot) for better streaming.

Just a thought, if these are the only use cases.

I did not mean it that way. If you can, of course return it and get a new one.

Also, kudos to your reading comprehension, he/she just mentioned November 5.

Yeah I don’t think you can do much here. You are outside of your 14 day window as well.

I would say just enjoy your laptop and forget about this.

Just checked out the inventory for gift cards. It mostly just last year stuff and some other things. I think people buying M2 Airs or iPad Pro have a good deal here.

Are there any discounts on Black Friday in the Apple Store? I wasn’t aware that something happens. What am I missing.

Any good deals in the past years?

I have been using MB for quite sometime (10 years) and use a ton of apps. But I always try to give this suggestion to folks I know. Don’t just install apps. Use it the way it is and see what you need and install the ones that assist you in better productivity.

I have the same philosophy for adding stuff to my house. Set it up gradually. You will every bit of new that you add.

For instance: I remember the time I started using Alfred in place of spotlight and I appreciated the things that spotlight did not provide. But immediately came to the realization that, almost 99% don’t even need or want these.

I and my wife are both software developers and both have 2 Macs each and did these gradual installations, and our set of apps is almost 100 (maybe 99%) different based on how we started needing more than just was provided with the MacBook.
