Best Buy has a 10.5"/256 version for about $670. That's got my
interest.


Check on whether that iPad Pro is WiFi only, or WiFi+Cellular. If you are
going to use it for travel it is best to have all options available. As
ubiquitous as WiFi hotspots are these days, inevitably you will find yourself
someplace without WiFi. Also, consider getting the 512GB edition, it is good
to have the extra room.


Really? 512GB will bump the price up considerably - $250 or so?

I bought a Macbook Pro* recently from the refurb store with a 128GB SSD
- that seems to be fine for work use (iClouded, mainly Msoft Office
documents) and it seems to 'serve' the 100GB Photos library just fine.
Standing at 80GB free space after almost a year.

Although I do suspect that this NG's users have considerably larger
photo libraries, and I've probably misunderstood the way the Adobe's
cloud storage system works . . .


* A pre-touchbar/dodgy keyboard/USB C model. I suspect an iPad
Pro/keyboard will replace it in 5 or 6 years time - mainly for the touch
screen. When I looked into it the 13" weight advantage was only 200g or
so once the keyboard was factored in. A friend has the larger screen
version - very impressive. For now, though, the Macbook is marvellous.
