    I have M1 Macbook Pro, iPhone 13 Pro Max, AirPods Pro 2, Apple Watch Ultra 2 and iPad Mini 6 with Apple Pencil.
    I still have a Windows PC for gaming, but I do everything on my Apple Products. I can't believe switching over to Apple took me this long. Been using Apple products for about 3 years, starting with the phone and then the MacBook. Never looking back.

No need for a Macbook other than to use a Macbook as a Mac Mini replacement. However, best for me, an artist, is if the iPad Pro 14 inch with M4 would come out with MacOS/iPad OS hybrid. I realize this would cut into Macbook sales but it makes a lot of sense since Apple would sell a lot more iPad Pros and that is the direction the industry is going in the long run.

    My ecosystem consists of an iPhone 12, XR, first generation SE, iPad seventh generation and Air 2, 2017 MacBook Air, Apple Watch series 7 and I also have an Apple Watch SE but I don't use it anymore, AirPods Pro 2, two HomePods mini in a stereo pair in my bedroom, AirTags, and Apple home accessories. Even with all of the stuff, if it weren't for iMessage and FaceTime, I could and actually may have left for windows/android, Samsung and Honor both cooked up some fantastic ecosystems and KDE Connect is an amazing tool that would allow me to make a pretty good ecosystem along with some other apps. The only thing I would really miss is AirPods auto switching, but of course if I went to one of the prebuilt android/Windows ecosystems instead of getting the ecosystem from various different brands and then manually linking it all together I think I would be able to get that.

    Great video bro. I would do the following. Everything is purchasable on Amazon
    Ipad pro 2018 $400
    M1 Mac mini $390
    Apple watch SE $130
    Iphone 15 $750
    Airpods pro $146
    That puts us at a grand total of $1,816 before taxes and shipping and handling and we have the added benefit of having everything with USB type-c. Everything will get the latest software updates and everything is good for at least the next 5 to 7 years. Also, I went ahead and upgraded the storage on everything to 256 GB so that's more than enough storage for daily activities. The only thing I couldn't squeeze in there was the m1 MacBook Air but when the price goes down on that you can grab that as well. Anyway, keep up the great work. Have a good one and I'll catch you on the next one.

I have been using IPhones and iPads for the last 10 years, along with windows laptop and desk tops. I just didn’t like that apple laptop.

I’d also look at buying a M1 MacBook Air if I were you. I bought my Air for $350 or so. I have an M1 Pro and an Air, plus a 12’ MacBook 2017. The Air is extremely powerful and amazingly versatile because it’s so thin.

    I tried to build my Apple ecosystem with each model in mind but some of it weren't available in the market anymore. At least not in a "brand-new-straight-from-authorized-dealership" standpoint. I want everything brand new from authorized shops. So here are what I already have and the reasons why I got them.
    ✅Iphone 14 Pro Max 1TB (I needed 1TB because I always use this 80% daily)
    ✅Apple Watch SE 2(I just needed the watch to notify me whatever in in my iPhone while the phone is in my pocket)
    ✅AirPods Pro 2(I needed the case with hook on it to wear around my neck)
    ✅MacBook Pro 14in M3 Pro 18gb/512GB(I was looking for MBP 14in M1 Pro but it wasn't available in the authorized sellers anymore)
    ✅Magic Keyboard 60%(To lessen the oil stains on my MBP keys)
    ✅Magic Mouse 2(To lessen the oil stains on my MBP touchpad)
    ❌iMac Mini M2(Still looking into other options)
    With that said, I am simultaneously building my ROG ecosystem as a secondary setup. Thank you for the information.

    I would splurge on the Ultra; Apple knocked it out of the park when it first came out. You can even go back to the M1 MacBook and still be satisfied. Depending on what you do with your phone, the 13 pro max is one you can go all day long with (as long as you aren't worried about future updates). I'm really hoping they announce the next iteration of the iPad mini. I'm hoping for an updated processor, updated screen (amazing if OLED but doubt it), NFC, keeping the TouchID, and bigger memory sizes (make 128GB the base!!).

    Ok, reality check. The 14" MBP is NOT heavy. The 16" MBP is. I went from a 16 to a 14 and the 14 feels like a feather! And I'm an aging boomer. Of course my generation was way tougher! 😜 Thanks Gary, always enjoy your content!

      I completely respect your perspective. I have a 14’ M1 Pro. I also have an M1 Air and an 12’ MacBook 2017, plus an iPad Air 5. The MacBook Pro is heavier than all of my computers and my iPad when it’s in a bag. It’s a huge difference. The Pro feels ridiculously heavy compared to everything else. Before the Pro, I had a Surface Pro, which was basically like a notebook.

IPhone 14 pro (also refurbished) and AirPods Pro 2 with the og AirPods as backups. It took a long time to get this setup and as I go things change but everything fits perfectly like puzzle pieces.

      Why not buy an iPad of the size & newness you want. The regular iPad (not the air) has a very nice screen for viewing. Buy the newest for the longest support should you want. Apple sells refurbished for 10% off with a full year warranty just like new. Amazon can often have refurbished but with different or no warranty. iPad is lighter than a MacBook, a cover will protect & offer ability to prop up.

    I was using the iPad as an *almost MacBook* until I got the M3 Pro. Now that I've got a decent sized screen for portability I'm really considering dumping it for an iPad mini. I'd rather have something comfortable in one hand but big enough to read. Just can't excuse 60hz in 2024.
    And as far as the wearables. I see it. I tried, not an Apple Watch, but a smart watch for a while and found I really only used it to check the time. I got a Casio for that. The calculator is a conversation piece.

I have a MacBook 12’ 2017 with Sonoma, paid $160 for that. I have an Apple Watch Series 7 and an SE 2, and paid $275 for both of them. I have AirPod Pros 1 and AirPods Gen 3, which I paid about $300 for both.
    I’m roughly at about $2,500 plus my iPhone (which I’ve had since it was new, so I feel like I’m about even on it now).
    I have a computer for our production work (I have a podcast). I have an office computer for my company, (I own a behavioral educational company for youth). I have a travel computer, I don’t have to take my larger computers with me while I’m traveling. I have two Apple Watches and two pair of AirPods.
    I feel like this is a good value. I buy everything used, so I can save money. Apple products have gotten so good, you don’t need the newest models. My phone is even still good. All of this for about the cost of a new MacBook Pro, and I don’t think an M3 would be that much of a difference.

    These are pretty good recommendations but what about someone who doesn’t have $2000? I’d be interested in seeing a video where you can be in the Apple ecosystem for even less but still feel like you have relatively up-to-date devices. Do you know what I mean? I mean sure you could get an iPhone SE for like 300 bucks but that’s not going to cut it for most people. So not like the absolute cheapest you can be in the ecosystem but the cheapest you can be in the ecosystem and still feel like nothing you have is obsolete.

    I would swap out the M3 Air with the M1 Air, and opt for the Watch series 7 or newer, primarely because of that Always-on-Display. A smartwatch absolutely needs to have an AoD in my opinion. And that 15 inch MBA costs about twice as much as an M1 for not that much more performance.
