Apple pricing is frustrating! Mac Air vs iPad Air – MacRumors


The age old question, should I get an iPad Air or a MacBook Air? I know that answer for my needs, an iPad Air with a keyboard. Now that the iPad Air will be released with a 13″ Screen, the Apple to Apple comparison can be made. ;)

The costs………

13″ MacBook Air M2, $850, 8gb/256gb at Best Buy. $999 at Apple.

13″ iPad Air M2 with Keyboard, $1148, 8gb/128gb at Apple. Add another $100 to get to 256gb.

That is quite the price difference and downright confusing to me. An iPad satisfies all of my needs but the price tells me I should buy a MacBook, which is overkill for my needs, I think? Am I not seeing something correctly here? Is an iPad with an M2 a superior processing device over an M2 MacBook that I am not aware of? Does Apple now consider an iPad more useful than a MacBook and warrants a premium?
