What should I do with my m1 mac air
I got laid off in November so I bought a m1 mac air as I didn’t have a personal laptop. Now I got a job and I don’t see myself using this laptop at all. I feel like I should have bought an ipad as I lt can be used for writing too. Suggest me if I should sell it or keep it or anything else I can do with it Thanks!
I have no personal files on my work mac. Also I can freely do jobsearch, entertainment, video editing, t0rr3nting, etc on personal mac (6 yr old intel).
My work Mac also doesn't allow connecting any USB device/ needs permission and other normal stuff sometimes gets me a warning from IT.
If you are a creative person who likes casual sketching or like reading books iPad would be a good alternative. Else keep your Mac. There is a lot that mac can do that iPad can't / where it's inconvenient.
There are many iPad users on here that can give you more uses for an iPad. 👍
I don’t have any restrictions on my work mac. I can visit any websites and connect anything. I an just browsing personal stuff on personal chrome profile. So hardly using my personal mac

This personal laptop is gonna serve well for next 5 years whether you switch job, get laid off, or startup.
It's like how you do need a personal email although you have a work email that can get you through most of the things for the time being.
While your work laptop has no restrictions, your employer can start tracking anytime and use anything available to scape goat you for no fault of yours. Separation is healthy.
How about just getting a ipad with pen and keyboard? Isn’t it just like a personal laptop? At max I would use it for leetcode or some small projects which is ok with a ipad
