Device Ecosystem Setup

Reading & Note-taking

The reMarkable 2 offers an E-ink display, providing a paper-like experience that provides a distraction-free environment. Its primary concerns are slow charging and a limited software ecosystem.

In contrast, the iPad 9 boasts a vibrant display with versatile functionality and a rich app ecosystem. However, it faces battery drain issues and is heavier compared to e-ink alternatives.

Computing

With the M1 chip, the MacBook Air (2020) delivers really decent performance, silent operation, and reliable battery life. Its limitations include limited screen real estate (have to use 2nd monitor) and port availability.

Mobile & Wearables

The iPhone SE (3rd Gen) serves as a compact (my favorite form-factor) and capable device, powered by the A15 Bionic chip and featuring Touch ID,. Paired with an Apple Watch SE that handles health tracking and notifications good enough.

Audio

Primarily using for hearing assistance, the AirPods (2nd Gen) has good Apple integration, Live Listen capability, and a portable form factor.
