First thought: college freshman, engineering major -- needs both a tablet for note-taking in class; and, a laptop for general library, dorm room use:

• M4 iPad Pro with Pro pencil
• choice: 13-inch or 15-inch M3 MacBook Air
• MacBook Air, M3
• no laptops come with the M4 yet
• nor do any desktop iMads come with the M4 yet 
• choice: 13-inch or 15-inch
